BLISTERING IN BITUMINOUS CORTINGS

THERMODYNAMIC ARGUMENTS TOGETHER WITH THE SOLUTIONS OF SOME DIFFUSION EQUATIONS LEAD TO THE THEORY THAT ONE OF THE CAUSES OF BLISTERING OF BITUMINOUS COATINGS IS THE VARIATION IN GAS PRESSURE. THIS THEORY HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BY SOME EXPERIMENTS. A MODEL IS DISCUSSED THAT GIVES A QUANTITATIVE DESCRIPTION OF THE BLISTERING. LABORATORY RESULTS ARE DISCUSSED IN VIEW OF THE MODEL PREDICTIONS. A PROCEDURE IS PROPOSED TO EXTRAPOLATE THE EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS UNDER LABORATORY CONDITIONS TO PRACTICAL CONDITIONS. /TRRL/
