Provisions for the construction product
2.1
Composition, characteristics and properties
2.1.1 Composition The waterproofing sheet is a 1.2 mm thick PVC-P sheet which is laminated on one side with a PP fleece (total thickness 1.7 mm). The waterproofing function in the transition to concrete components with high resistance to water penetration is achieved through the coupling of the PP fleece in the fresh concrete, creating a bond which prevents water from running behind between the hydrated cement of the reinforced concrete component and the exterior "AQUAFIN-WM12" waterproofing sheet. Joints which are created in the bonded area are protected using an MS polymer adhesive with the designation AQUAFIN-CA. The surface waterproofing is connected using the solvent welding process with AQUAFIN-SWA solvent welding material.

The strip-type waterproofing sheet is connected to the water-impermeable concrete component by encasing the waterproofing sheet in concrete during the creation of the water-impermeable concrete component. Here, the waterproofing sheet, with the fleece facing the concrete, shall be bonded in the concrete at a minimum height or width of 20 cm. Joints between the sheets shall be executed in such a way that the sheets are installed in the formwork at a distance of (5±1) mm. The permanently waterproof connection of the surface waterproofing at the transition is executed in accordance with the manufacturer's laying and work instructions by solvent welding (AQUAFIN-SWA solvent welding material). Once the joining work has been completed, the butt joints of the waterproofing in the water-impermeable concrete component including the adjacent sheet surfaces shall be prepared. They shall be free from loose parts and contamination which can cause damage. The prepared butt joints shall be sealed with AQUAFIN-CA adhesive with a minimum overlap of 10 mm to the sheet material. Here, it shall be ensured that the opening created in the T-joint area through the welding/bonding of the surface waterproofing shall be filled or sealed with AQUAFIN-CA adhesive to a minimum depth of 1 cm. For the load case "pressing water" (see Section 1.2), the connection of the surface waterproofing shall only be executed without offset of the floor panel to the rising wall. The surface waterproofing shall be bonded into the fresh concrete to ensure it prevents water from running behind. In case of standing seepage water (see Section 1.2), the surface waterproofing with or without offset to the rising wall shall be bonded to the entire surface of the substrate (using primer if required). Fresh concrete in accordance with DIN 1045-2 of consistency range F4 to F6 shall be used. During formwork stripping, the waterproofing sheet of the transition inserted in the formwork shall not be damaged. Full-surface bonding to the concrete must be checked and ensured. The manufacturer is obligated to consistently incorporate the implementation provisions in their processing instructions. The general building authority test certificate and the manufacturer’s processing instructions shall be available at the place of installation.
