It is used to form a <br />permanent bond with the fresh concrete. It is especially <br />suitable to waterproof hard-to-access areas such as <br />elevator shafts. <br />3.2 Surface preparation: <br />The substrate must have adequate load-bearing <br />capability and must be largely flat and pressure-resistant <br />in order to counterbalance the loads that arise during <br />the application and concreting works. Larger surface <br />irregularities or steps must be levelled out beforehand</p> <p>by means of suitable mortar systems or suitable fillers, <br />e.g. sand. In the case of applications underneath floor <br />slabs on compacted, pressure-resistant, capillary-breaking <br />layers, there must be no sharp-edged or pointed <br />components on the surface. Formwork may not deform <br />during the concreting works. In the case of vertical <br />applications, the top finishing rail must be secured using <br />suitable measures. <br />3.3 Application: <br />The substrate must be firm and load-bearing. Overlaps <br />should be established with min. 5 cm, and bonded <br />through hot air-welding or adhered with AQUAFIN-CA. <br />Application as waterproofing under floor slabs: <br />The fresh concrete composite film must be applied <br />with the transparent side to the substrate, before <br />the concreting. Apply AQUAFIN-WM12 to the <br />appropriately compacted, pressure-resistant, capillarybreaking layer or blinding layer (concrete or thermal <br />insulation) in overlapping linear sheets. The overlapping <br />width is 5 cm. The joints are bonded by means of hot <br />air welding or adhered with AQUAFIN-CA. Avoid <br />damage during the subsequent work steps, e.g. laying <br />reinforcement. Spacers used shall have a large surface <br />area at the support points. The concreting of the floor <br />slab must be professionally applied and in accordance <br />with the applicable standards and regulations. It is <br />particularly important to ensure that the concreting is <br />implemented free of voids or that bonding is implemented <br />covering the whole area of the fleece layer. In doing so, <br />direct contact between the AQUAFIN-WM12 and the <br />compacting machine should be avoided. <br />Application as waterproofing in formwork constructions: <br />The fresh concrete composite film must be applied <br />with the transparent side to the formwork, before the <br />concreting. AQUAFIN-WM12 is fitted to the top side of <br />the formwork construction in linear sheets, overlapping <br />and fastened by means of nail strips. The overlapping <br />width is 5 cm. The joints are bonded by means of hot</p> <p>2/3</p> <p>07/20</p> <p>air welding or adhered with AQUAFIN-CA. Avoid <br />damage during the subsequent work steps, e.g. laying <br />reinforcement or spacing struts. The concreting must be <br />professionally applied in accordance with the applicable <br />standards and regulations. It is particularly important <br />to ensure that the concreting is implemented free of <br />voids (gravel pockets) or that bonding is implemented <br />covering the whole area of the fleece layer. In doing so, <br />direct contact between the AQUAFINWM12 and the <br />compacting machine should be avoided. <br />Hot air welding: <br />Device parameters: <br />•2 <br /> 20V hot air blower with stepless temperature <br />adjustment up to +600 °C and air flow regulator <br />• Heating power > 1400 Watt <br />•W <br /> idth slotted nozzle 40 mm (perforated on the <br />underside) <br />The welding of the AQUAFIN-WM12 is carried out <br />with handheld welding devices (e.g. Leister Triac) with <br />a temperature of +450 °C to +650 °C (approx. level <br />6.5). The sealing sheets are laid overlapping and tacked <br />at a max. pitch of 50 cm, parallel with one another. <br />Then the handheld welding device is guided slowly over <br />the joint at an angle of approx. 30°. In doing so, the <br />sheets are pressed together with a moderate force of <br />>5–6 kp using a silicone roller, parallel with the sheet <br />edge, until a weld seam is created at the joint edges. <br />Welding is implemented over a width of approx. 4 cm. <br />With professionally prepared welding, a weld bead <br />running along the seam can be considered an indication <br />of a perfect joint. The joint seams are immediately leakproof and are fully cured after 24 hours. Carry out trial <br />welding before the hot air welding work. In the case of <br />applications on thermal insulation, suitable underlays, <br />which will be slowly pulled along with the sheets during <br />welding, should be used. The welding zones are to be <br />cleaned of any adhesion inhibiting substances. In doing <br />so, it is not permitted to use solvents or splice wash.</p> <p>Adhered with AQUAFIN-CA: <br />Generously apply AQUAFIN-CA to the overlap area <br />of the substrate and press the next sheet into the fresh <br />adhesive. The concreting process can take place no <br />sooner than 8 hours after adhesion. <br />Notes: <br />• The fresh concrete composite system should be stored <br />dry as a matter of principle. <br />• Do not store sharp objects or pallets on the fresh <br />concrete composite film. <br />• The current applicable regulations and datasheets are <br />to be observed! <br />3.4 Cleaning: <br />During continued application, all tools must be regularly <br />& thoroughly cleaned with water and/or solvent <br />(ASO-R001) every 25 to 40 minutes (dependant on <br />temperature) to prevent the product from setting on tool <br />surfaces. Thorough cleaning must also be carried out <br />immediately at the end of works or whenever work is <br />suspended.</p> <p>The rights of the buyer with regard to the quality of our materials are based on our terms and conditions of sale and delivery.
