A proposed ASTM International standard will establish specification requirements for flexible protective jackets made of modified asphalt or butyl rubber. ASTM International’s thermal insulation committee ( C16 ) is developing the proposed standard. Protective jackets guard products such as ducts and pipe insulation against physical abuse as well as, in some cases, the effects of weather. All…, Media Inquiries:, Jaime Martorana, tel+1.610.832.9796; jmartorana@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Mary Mikolajewski, tel+1.610.832.9678; mmikolajewski@astm.org Release #11215 ###
