Resistance of Ceramic Tile to Chemical Substances (ASTM C650)


Procedure: This test method covers a procedure for determining whether, and to what degree,
ceramic tiles are affected by prolonged exposure to chemical substances. The temperature was
controlled at 75±5 ° F (24±3 ° C) with an exposure time of24 hours.
