Water impact classes
Planning and using waterproofing Protect and preserve value
Soil moisture and non-rising damp in floor slabs and walls in contact with the ground This exposure class applies where highly permeable soil is present (k > 10⁻⁴ m/s) and the design water level (HGW/ HHW) is ≥ 50 cm below the lowest waterproofing layer.
This impact can be waterproofed using a polymer-modified bituminous thick layer coating (PMBC) or a cementitious, crackbridging waterproofing slurry (MDS).
Soil moisture and non-rising damp in floor slabs and walls in contact with the ground with drainage This exposure class applies where the soil has low permeability (k ≤ 10⁻⁴ m/s) and the design water level (HGW/HHW) is ≥ 50 cm below the lowest waterproofing layer. The resulting water accumulation is removed by permanently functioning drainage.
If the drainage does not function, pressing water is present. This impact can be waterproofed using a polymer-modified bituminous thick layer coating (PMBC) or a cementitious, crack-bridging waterproofing slurry (MDS).
Moderate exposure to pressure water This impact class is present when groundwater, accumulating water, or flood water affect the component directly in the ground. Up to a water column of ≤ 3 m, the building component may be waterproofed with polymer-modified bituminous thick layer
Protecting a building against penetrating moisture, ensuring a pleasant living environment on the interior, and granting the building eternal youth: Accepting these challenges means working with knowledge and precision to implement projects to the satisfaction of the building owner. Living and working in a hygienic environment with a pleasant temperature that is healthy above all else is not a matter of course. To ensure long-term preservation of the value of a building, carefully planned waterproofing solutions are needed. Every building is continuously exposed to external environmental conditions and must be adjusted individually in accordance with the surrounding influences. The waterproofing products and system components must be compatible with each other and matched to suit each other. From substrate preparation to waterproofing for waste water treatment plants and crack waterproofing, SCHOMBURG offers a complete package for every thinkable challenge. Building components in the ground especially require highquality, professional implementation of waterproofing. Follow-up
improvements or even essential restorations involve high costs and require a lot of time, since after the building pit is filled in, the exterior area is difficult to access. For this reason, SCHOMBURG offers optimised solutions for cellar exterior waterproofing in particular to ensure a water-tight cellar. Selection of matching waterproofing components for cellar masonry depends on a variety of factors. On the one hand, this depends on the use of the cellar, while on the other, various so-called “water impact classes” are involved. In this case, the type and method of penetrating moisture are referred to. Pressing groundwater from outside required another type of waterproofing application than normal ground moisture. The correct application is regulated in the technical documents. This specifies corresponding waterproofing procedures for corresponding water impact classes.
coating (PMBC). The use of cementitious, crack-bridging waterproofing slurry is not intended for this impact class and may only be agreed to separately with the respective employer.
High exposure to pressure water This impact class is present when groundwater, accumulating water, or flood water affect the component in direct ground and the foundation depth is ≥ 3 m. The impact class distinguishes between two situations. Situation 1: The groundwater and flood water level is beneath the foundation depth.
Situation 2: The groundwater and flood water level is 3 m above the foundation depth. With this exposure, the use of PMBC or flexible polymer-modified thick layer coatings (FPD) are to be agreed separately with the customer.
Non-pressurised water on earth-covered slabs This impact class is present if an earthcovered ceiling is impacted directly by precipitation with a water load of ≤ 10 cm accumulation depth and the measured water
level is ≥ 30 cm below the lowest point of the ceiling. This impact can be waterproofed using a polymer-modified bituminous thick layer coating (PMBC).
Splash water at the wall base and capillary water in and under walls in direct ground The “wall base” describes the area approx. 20 cm below the top edge and approx. 30 cm above the top edge. In this area, the building component must be waterproofed against penetrating moisture with polymermodified bituminous thick layer coating or a
cementitious, crack-bridging waterproofing slurry. To avoid rising capillary water in walls in direct ground, it is possible to use a cementitious, crack-bridging waterproofing slurry as profile waterproofing.

Waterproofing | Preparing substrates
Preparing substrates for ideal results
A sustainably functioning waterproofing requires a thorough and carefully prepared building surface to be treated. After all, the finished waterproofing is only as good as the substrate will allow. The waterproofing materials must harmonise with the substrate and require the best possible bonding for secure and long-lasting sealing function. For this reason, substrate pretreatment with its specific requirements is particularly important. The technical documents specify the basic principles and details like the evenness, burr removal, and cleaning, as they apply to every user or installer. The ideal pre-treatment of the substrate is based on the respective present waterproofing situation. For example, waterproofing on basement walls requires other procedures than with coatings in garages. Depending on the relevant area, there are different system solutions for the respective application area.
Before any waterproofing measures, a professional building condition analysis of the substrate must be completed. In case of concrete substrates, bubble formation frequently results in the still wet coating. This is due to the air voids that are hardly visible and often covered with concrete paste on the surface of the concrete. The air trapped in the pores expands due to exposure to sunlight and continuously pushes outwards. In this case, the fresh coating is pressed away from the substrate. This is prevented by removing the cement paste layer using diamond grinding or shot blasting. In case of more stubborn concrete paste, sandblasting may even be necessary for clean removal. The open pores may then be filled with suitable mortar or with the right SCHOMBURG waterproofing following application of a primer. Thanks to these work steps, the substrate is pre-treated optimally so that the waterproofing is able to be completed functionally after the drying phase of the mortar.
Application
The substrate must be load-bearing, fine-pored, and free of dirt and dust. Unevenness and ridges must be evened out meticulously. As previously discussed in the building condition analysis, open butt joints up to 5 mm and surface profiles and unevenness of stones (e.g. plaster grooves on brickwork or heavy concrete blocks) must be levelled using grouting, e. g. with AQUAFIN-1K. Depressions that are not closed and larger than 5 mm, e.g. mortar pockets or damaged areas must be closed with mortar, e.g. using ASOCRET-M30. Furthermore, the surface must be free of gaping cracks and adhesion inhibiting substances, e.g. oil, paint, laitance layers, and loose components. On the floor slabs, laitance layers must be thoroughly removed mechanically down to the solid core to ensure a high level of bonding. The base slab transition, which is a sensitive, delicate area, should be pre-treated with slurry using AQUAFIN-1K. Next, a coved fillet is applied while still wet using ASOCRET-M30. Alternatively, the coved fillet area can be applied using ASO-Joint-Tape-2000-S together with AQUAFIN-RB400. After curing completely, the coved fillet
area, including 15 cm of the front side, is also covered with AQUAFIN-RB400. The substrate should be pre-wetted so that it is matt damp while applying the waterproofing layer. Strongly absorbent substrates like aerated concrete must be primed with AQUAFIN-Primer for improved adhesion. On metal substrates, use ASODUR-SG3 (including quartz sand sprinkling) as a pore-sealed primer. If ASOCRET-HFF is used to level off the surface in large layer thickness widths (up to 30 mm), the process is the same. If dampness from the rear is expected, then use ASODUR-SG3-superfast instead. Ideal substrates consist of dense concrete, cement-based screeds, P II and P III plaster, and fully grouted masonry work. Formwork and heavy concrete blocks, as well as uneven masonry must be levelled with cement-based mortar.

Waterproofing | Retroactive horizontal barrier
Retroactive horizontal barrier with liquid injection material
1. Level the wall surface To optimise the distribution of the horizontal barrier, AQUAFIN-1K is applied up to approx. 10 cm above the planned drilled hole depth using brush techniques.
2. F ill voids Fill voids and flaws in the substrate with ASOCRET-BM drilled hole material.
3. P roduce the horizontal barrier After drilling the holes (drilled hole distance between 10‒12.5 cm), inject AQUAFIN-F with low pressure techniques (<10 bar) into the substrate using injection packers. The injection pressure is maintained until the area near the packer appears glossy-matte. After approx. 24 hours, remove the packers and close the holes with ASOCRET-BM.
4. Alternatively: Pressureless Injection In a pressure-free process, storage containers are engaged in the drilled holes and filled with the injection material. The distribution in the substrate takes place exclusively via gravity and the absorptive behaviour of the substrate. Continue the filling process until no more injection medium is able to be absorbed. Similar to the pressure process, the drilled holes are sealed with the ASOCRET-BM or ASOCRET-M30 drilled hole mortar.
Rising damp in masonry is a common problem in older buildings and existing properties. Retrofitting a horizontal damp proof course using liquid injection material offers an effective and permanently reliable solution for the restoration of damp walls and basement areas. It prevents moisture from rising through the masonry by capillary action, thereby providing long term protection against mould growth, damage to plaster and structural deterioration. The system is based on a tried-and-tested injection process: special liquid active ingredients are injected precisely into the masonry via boreholes. Once there, they spread evenly throughout the pore structure and form a water-repellent barrier that permanently prevents the capillary transport of moisture.

Retroactive horizontal barrier with paste injection material
Application 1. Drill holes Create drilled holes at a distance of approx. 12.5 cm and a drill angle of 0° — 45° with an electro-pneumatic drill that operates as shudder-free as possible.
Rising damp in masonry is a common cause of damage in existing buildings – ranging from damp walls and flaking plaster to mould growth. Retrofitting a horizontal damp-proof course using a paste-like injection material offers a modern, efficient solution for permanent protection against capillary rising damp – without the need for major alterations to the building structure. Thanks to its creamy consistency, it can also be used for horizontal drilling and where the masonry is non-uniform. There is no risk of uncontrolled runoff, as is the case with water-based horizontal waterproofing.
COMPONENTS AQUAFIN-i380 ASOCRET-BM ASOCRET-M30
2. C lean drilled holes Prior to injection, dust from drilling must be removed thoroughly to ensure maximum possible absorption of the active substance in the masonry work.
3. Produce the horizontal barrier After cleaning the drilled holes, AQUAFIN-i380 is injected using an injection pistol without any pressure. Material must be pressed in until the drilled hole is filled completely. After successful horizontal waterproofing, drilled holes are sealed using ASOCRET-BM or ASOCRET-M30 drilled hole and void filling mortar in accordance with the structure.

Waterproofing | Salt-loaded substrates
Renovation of salt-loaded substrates in the THERMOPAL® system
1. Salt-loaded surface The salts present in the masonry work have a hygroscopic effect and migrate to the surface, since less moisture is present there due to the evaporation zone and good conditions for crystal formation are available there. This causes the plaster surface to decay.
2. A pply salt converter Saturate the exposed masonry work with ESCO-FLUAT one or two times using brush techniques (depending on the salt loading and absorbency of the substrate). Salts that damage the building are transformed into salts that are less soluble and cannot be transmitted to the new, fresh plaster layer.
3. Apply splatterdash coat Apply THERMOPAL-SP drying mortar as semi-covering plaster primer preparation in accordance with plastering technique standards (approx. 50% surface wetting) featuring a layer thickness of max. 5 mm. Pre-wet the substrate lightly as required to ensure good bonding.
4. Apply base plaster In case of larger surface irregularities, THERMOPAL-GP11 is applied in layer thickness from 10 – 30 mm (in multiple layers in case of thicker surfaces). Strike off the previous layer with a plasterer’s darby, and immediately after stiffening, roughen up horizontally and allow to dry.
5. Apply restoration plaster Apply up to max. 3 cm THERMOPAL-ULTRA-white in one application step. After sufficient standing time, the surface may be grid floated or rubbed down.
6. A pply fine plaster (optional) Apply THERMOPAL-FS33 cementitious fine plaster using trowel techniques in the required layer thickness up to max. 3 mm. After drying, remove the surface with a sponge rubber or a felt or sponge board.
Moisture and salt-loaded substrates frequently occur in legacy buildings. For professional and enduring restoration of these surfaces, the existing salt loading must be analysed exactly to ensure that the right product systems can be used. The THERMOPAL system developed for this is not only suitable for surfaces like this, it also supports renovation of formerly mould-contaminated surfaces at the same time. Legacy buildings become completely restored structures.

Waterproofing | Renovation with insulating effect
The renovation system with an insulating effect For areas exposed to moisture
The renovation system with thermal insulation properties has been specially developed for masonry affected by damp and salt and enables the sustainable renovation of living spaces, cellars and high-quality usable areas. At its heart is an intelligent combination of waterproofing, renovation plaster and mineral-based thermal insulation plaster. This allows damp damage to be reliably rectified whilst simultaneously reducing heat loss. The insulation-effect renovation system is ideal for improving the energy efficiency of older buildings, renovating listed buildings, and for all buildings where external waterproofing is only possible to a limited extent.
1. Substrate preparation In the first stage, the existing render is removed at least 80 cm beyond the damaged area in order to identify any concealed moisture and salt damage. Next, brittle and salt-damaged joints are scraped out to a depth of approximately 20 mm. The exposed, damp masonry is pre-treated with AQUAFIN-Primer. Joints and defects are levelled with ASOCRET-M30. In addition, the existing horizontal damp-proof course is sealed and a barrier groove is created at the wall-floor junction. Finally, a sealing groove is formed at the floor/wall junction using ASOCRET-M30.
2. P roducing the horizontal damp proof barrier In the second step, a retrofitted horizontal damp-proof course is created using AQUAFIN-i380 to prevent capillary rising damp. The boreholes required for this are professionally sealed with ASOCRET-M30 after the injection.
4. Salt storage (if required) If necessary, an additional salt storage layer of THERMOPAL-ULTRA-white is applied to a thickness of approx. 15 mm. This layer is also combed horizontally whilst still fresh, using a 6-mm notched trowel.
5. Thermal insulating plaster Finally, the wall surfaces are plastered with the thermal insulation plaster THERMOPAL-WSP-120. Once dry, a coat of AQUAFIN-Primer is applied. The finishing touch is a two-coat application of fine-textured plaster using THERMOPAL-FS33, which ensures a smooth and high-quality finish.
3. Interior waterproofing To waterproof the interior, a waterproofing plaster coat of ASOCRET-M30 is applied, whilst levelling the surface at the same time. The coat, whilst still fresh, is then combed horizontally using a 6-mm notched trowel to ensure optimum adhesion of the subsequent layers.

Waterproofing | Sustainable building renovation
The system for sustainable building renovation Without additional waterproofing measures
Application 1. Substrate preparation The first step is to remove the old plaster completely in order to expose damaged and contaminated areas. Next, crumbling and salt-contaminated joints are scraped out to a depth of approximately 20 mm. Highly absorbent masonry is primed with AQUAFIN-Primer to improve adhesion. Finally, the joints and defects are levelled using THERMOPAL-GP11 to create a level and load-bearing substrate.
2. Producing the horizontal damp proof barrier Where necessary, a retrofitted horizontal damp-proof course is installed in the second step. This is carried out using AQUAFIN-i380 or, alternatively, AQUAFIN-F, to prevent capillary rising damp. The drill holes required for this are professionally sealed with ASOCRET-M30 once the injection has been completed.
The system for sustainable building refurbishment offers a comprehensive, tried-and-tested solution for the refurbishment of existing buildings – from damp-damaged older properties to listed buildings. Thanks to perfectly coordinated system components, damp damage can be permanently rectified, mould growth reduced and, at the same time, energy efficiency significantly improved. The focus is on high-performance waterproofing, renovation and insulation technologies that do not require additional waterproofing measures and can be used both indoors and outdoors.
COMPONENTS AQUAFIN-i380 AQUAFIN-F ASOCRET-M30 THERMOPAL-SP THERMOPAL-GP11 THERMOPAL-FS33 THERMOPAL-WSP-120
3. Thermally insulating plaster In the third stage, a semi-opaque spray coat of THERMOPAL-SP is first applied to the sound substrate to improve adhesion. The wall surfaces are then plastered with the thermal insulation plaster THERMOPAL-WSP-120. Once sufficiently dry, the surface is primed with AQUAFIN-Primer and then smoothed and finished using the THERMOPAL-FS33 fine-finish trowel in two work steps.

In case of heavy exposure, ASODUR-B351 is applied evenly in a single application step with a rake and ventilated with a spiked roller in a criss-cross manner. Optionally apply non-slip sealing; for this purpose seal the hardened coating in a single application step with a mixture of ASODUR-V2260 and 10 wt.% ASO-Antislide using a rolling technique.
For light to moderate exposure, ASODUR-V360W is applied in a single application step by means of crosswise rolling. Optionally apply non-slip sealing; for this purpose seal the hardened sealing in a single application step with a mixture of ASODUR-V360W and 10 wt.% ASO-Antislide using a rolling technique.
Before application the substrate must be mechanically prepared, either by shotblasting or grinding and vacuuming. Widen existing cracks, vacuum and seal with ASODUR-GH-S. Close coarse damaged areas with ASOCRET-M30 using trowel techniques with a layer thickness of 3 to 30 mm.
Frequent use of the garage area places high demands on the materials that are used. Because every time you drive a vehicle in or out, dirt, and high quantities of rainwater in particular, are also carried inside. The moisture can easily penetrate into the floor via the walls and cause moisture damage. In order to prevent these and other damages, SCHOMBURG has develop an ideal application technique with the right components. Damage that has already occurred are able to be repaired and the garage area is able to be repaired as best as possible.

Waterproofing | Facade impregnation
Facade impregnation for colour deepening and prevention of fouling
Application 1. Cleaning Clean the surfaces to be treated as hydrophobic thoroughly using a highpressure cleaner with rotating jets. Fouling and moss or algae coatings are removed completely.
Facades are a building’s calling card, but at the same time they are constantly exposed to the elements, such as rain, frost, UV radiation and dirt. Facade impregnation offers an effective and sustainable solution for providing long-lasting protection for mineral-based external surfaces against moisture and environmental influences.
COMPONENTS ASOLIN-SFC45
2. A pply impregnation After the façade has dried completely, apply the solvent-free façade cream ASOLIN-SFC45 with a lambskin roller until it fully covers the entire surface. The paste consistency makes very economical, clean, and reliable application possible. A material buffer remains on the substrate during application, which enables very deep penetration of the effective substance into the substrate.
The system is based on modern, hydrophobic impregnations that penetrate deep into the substrate, where they form a water-repellent protective layer. This significantly reduces capillary water absorption, whilst at the same time the facade remains vapour-permeable, allowing trapped moisture to escape. Facade impregnation is suitable for a wide range of mineral substrates – including brick, clinker, natural stone, sand-lime brick and rendered facades.

The protection of reinforced concrete components is essential for durability and longevity. Particularly with load-bearing building components such as foundations and pillars, inadequate protection of surfaces and joints can result in significant damage to the structure. Due to high mechanical loads and strong chemical corrosion, the functionality and service life of containers, pools and gutter systems are severely restricted and shortened. In individual cases, the destructive influence is so great that a reduction in the concrete on the surface can be seen after just a few years. Then it is important to carry out the right refurbishment measures at an early stage. The SCHOMBURG system products provide targeted protection against aggressive influences.

Waterproofing | Vapour barrier for damp substrates
Vapour barrier for damp substrates in the epoxy resin system
Damp substrates and high residual moisture levels are a common challenge in the construction industry and can lead to significant damage or delays to building works. The vapour barrier for damp substrates offers a reliable solution for permanently blocking rising damp and safely protecting sensitive floor coverings. The system is based on high-performance two-component epoxy resin barrier primers, which have been specially developed for damp substrates. They act as a capillary-breaking and diffusion-inhibiting layer, preventing the penetration of moisture from the substrate and providing reliable protection against damage such as osmosis blisters, delamination or deformation of floor coverings such as parquet, natural stone or vinyl flooring. 38
COMPONENTS ASODUR-SG2 ASODUR-SG3
1. Substrate preparation Substrates must be load-bearing and sufficiently firm (concrete class: min. C 20/25 and cement-based screed class min. CT–C35–F5), and free of separating and adhesion-inhibiting substances like paint residues. Depending on the texture of the substrate to be treated, suitable processes must be used, e.g. grinding.
2. C leaning preparations The dust particles resulting from this measure that is taken to prepare the substrate should generally be removed using an industrial vacuum.
4. Rolling on To ensure equal material film on the substrate surface, a suitable lamb’s wool roll should be used to roll the still wet applied material out again equally.
5. Sanding Immediately after applying the material, the wet applied primer layer, and only in case of ASODUR-SG2, should be sanded equally using suitable quartz sand. ASODUR-SG3 does not need to be sanded because a chemical bond results. After hardening, remove loose quartz sand by vacuuming.
3. Material application The correctly mixed 2-component material is applied using a rubber lipped scraper on the pre-wetted substrate (matte damp appearance) and intensively brushed in using scrub brushes.

Waterproofing | Crack repair of substrates
Crack repair of substrates in the epoxy resin system
1. Open the cracks Open the crack or joint with a cutting disc along the length (approx. up to half or two thirds of the screed depth). Cut traverse sections featuring a depth of 10 cm length at a right angle at a distance of 30 cm.
2. Clean Remove dust and dirt and carefully clean the area that has been cut open with an industrial vacuum cleaner or similar equipment.
3. Mixing Mix the A and B components together and shake for a minimum of 15 seconds.
4. Insert screed clamps Insert the included screed clamps into the cut groove.
5. Cast the cracks Pour the mixed ASODUR-GH-S material into the prepared grooves free of voids. Remove the excess material.
6. Q uartz sand After reaching the gel phase, evenly sprinkle in quartz sand (grain size 0.1 to 0.6 mm).
7. Vacuuming After hardening, remove loose sand by vacuuming.
Alternatively For fine cracks up to a width of 0.4 mm, use the epoxy resin grout ASODUR-K900.
Cracks in screed and concrete surfaces are not merely aesthetic flaws; they can also significantly compromise the load-bearing capacity and durability of structures. Crack repair offers a professional, systematic solution for permanently sealing cracks and reliably restoring the structural integrity of substrates. The system is based on high-performance two-component reactive resins with excellent penetration properties, which completely fill even fine and deep cracks. Targeted grouting and additional bonding using screed clips create a force-locked connection between the crack flanks, ensuring that compressive, tensile and shear forces are once again safely transferred.

1. Drilling Cracks that are present are offset at a respective distance of 20 cm at an angle of 45° to the crack.
2. C leaning Clear any drilling debris that has resulted in the drilled holes using oil-free compressed air.
3. Waterproof water-conducting cracks Insert corresponding injection packer into the drilled holes. Press AQUAFIN-P1 into water-conducting cracks. The material reacts with the water to produce a waterproof, tough elastic foam to stop water penetration. The excess foam is removed after curing so it is flush with the surface.
4. Dam up cracks In case of cracks that do not conduct water, the crack area is insulated using ASODUR-EKF. AQUAFIN-P4 is injected after the insulating material cures completely.
5. Permanently waterproof cracks During application of AQUAFIN-P1, additional injection using AQUAFIN-P4 elastic crack waterproofing is necessary.
6. S eal drilled holes After the injection resin has hardened, insulation may be removed for visual reasons as required. Seal the drilled holes with ASOCRET-BIS-1/6.
Professional crack repair is essential in building renovation and refurbishment. Cracks occur when the stresses acting on the substrate exceed the strength of the individual structural elements. Whether in basements, underground car parks or on load-bearing structures – water ingress can cause lasting damage to the building fabric and significantly restrict the use of buildings.
COMPONENTS AQUAFIN-P1 AQUAFIN-P4 ASODUR-EKF ASOCRET-BIS-1/6
Professional injection methods offer a reliable and long-lasting solution here: through targeted crack injection using highly effective injection resins, even active, water-bearing cracks are securely sealed and the structural integrity of the building is restored.

Waterproofing | Retrospective execution of construction joints
Retrospective execution of construction/ movement joints in concrete construction With thermoplastic joint tape 1. Substrate preparation Prepare the cleaned, load-bearing substrate by mechanical means. Substrates must be load-bearing and sufficiently firm (concrete class: min. C 20/25 and cement-based screed class min. CT–C35–F5), and free of separating and adhesion-inhibiting substances like paint residues.
3. M asking the surface Mask off the expansion area on the substrate and on the tape. Mask off at the margin, the mortar should overlap the building component by at least 1 cm.
4. Applying adhesive
5. Peeling off the adhesive tape Remove the adhesive tape in the area of the joint.
6. Inserting and pressing on Lay out the ASO-Tape and press it on with a suitable tool.
8. Bonding Ensure that there is an overlap of 5–10 cm with a minimum film thickness of 1 mm when bonding the ASO-Tape to the mortar.
9. Hot air welding Using hot air and pressure, weld the tape joins with an overlap of at least 5 cm.
Stir comp. A and comp. B together and decant the mixture into a clean container. Then stir the mixture for a second time. In order to ensure bedding covering the whole area, apply ASODUR-K4031 at least 1 cm wider than the amount of ASO-Tape you use.
Leaking joints, transitions and penetrations are among the most common causes of moisture damage in buildings. A permanently reliable waterproofing solution is therefore crucial to ensure the watertightness and functionality of concrete structures in the long term. The thermoplastic joint tape can be used to reliably seal construction joints, movement joints, cracks and defects. The system is watertight – even under negative water pressure – and provides a permanently secure bond for demanding waterproofing tasks.
COMPONENTS ASO-Tape ASODUR-K4031
7. Grouting and peeling off Ensure the ASODUR-K4031 is spread over all of the ASO-Tape. Remove all adhesive strips.

Waterproofing | Execution of construction joints in concrete construction
Execution of construction joints in concrete construction with crystalline waterstop sheet
Construction joints are among the most critical areas of concrete structures and pose an increased risk of water ingress. Crystalline joint sheets can be used to seal construction joints reliably and permanently. The coated joint sheet extends the water path, ensures a strong bond with the waterproof concrete and thus minimises the risk of leaks.
COMPONENTS AQUAFIN-CJ5 Retaining clips Omega-Holder
Application / effect
Fastening with omega clips The crystalline waterstop sheet AQUAFIN-CJ5 is placed on the reinforcement with the omega clip in the middle of the joint. The omega clip is attached to the reinforcement with tie wire. A concrete inclusion of > 3 cm must be ensured.
Jointing of waterstop sheets With AQUAFIN-CJ5, secure overlap joints with retaining clips. For immersion depths of up to 8 m, fix in place with a holding clip with an overlap of 5 cm. For immersion depths of 8 to 20 m, fix in place with two holding clips with an overlap of 20 cm.
Construction joint wall / slab bonding A transition from the working joint in the wall / floor transition to a vertical working joint is made using two holding clips that are attached on both sides. The overlapping of the waterstop sheet is a minimum of 5 cm.
Secure sealing with AQUAFIN-CJ5 The cementitious coating forms a strong adhesive bond with the waterproof concrete so that “breaks” / cracks tend not to occur. However, if the movement of the component results in a crack, crystals form and cracks up to 0.4 mm can be sealed in the event of contact with water
Corner solutions In corners, the waterstop sheet AQUAFIN-CJ5 is simply bent into the required shape.
The crystalline coating offers additional protection: upon contact with water, crystals form which can seal cracks up to 0.4 mm wide, thereby providing long-lasting support for the sealing effect.

Execution of construction joints in concrete construction with injection hose system 1. Standard packer Nail a standard packer at the start and end point (max. 10 m) on the inside of the formwork.
2. Fasten the injection hose Fasten the AQUAFIN-CJ1 injection hose carefully with the help of the hose clamp on the packer.
3. Lay out the injection hose Lay the injection hose featuring a concrete covering of at least 8 cm to the waterconducting side and then fasten it with holding clips (6 per m) onto the concrete to prevent slipping or floating upwards.
4. Adhere ventilation hose Apply the included PVC adhesive on the projecting connection collar of the ventilation hose.
5. Connect the injection hose Attach the AQUAFIN-CJ1 injection hose directly onto the prepared connection collar, and then wait for the drying time to finish.
6. C onnect the ventilation hose completely Pull approx. 6–8 cm heat-shrink hose over the connection of the ventilation hose and the injection hose and use hot air to heat up the connection until the heat-shrink hose is tight and the connection has tightened.
The professional sealing of construction joints in concrete structures is crucial to the durability and watertightness of buildings. Modern injection hose systems offer a reliable and flexible solution for permanent sealing joints in so-called ‘white tanks’ against water and moisture. In concrete structures, construction phases inevitably result in joints which must be specifically sealed. The installation of a PVC injection tube enables controlled, retrofit waterproofing directly within the joint area. Through the targeted injection of sealant resins, even the smallest defects are reliably sealed, as the material spreads throughout the entire joint area and effectively waterproofs the concrete.
COMPONENTS AQUAFIN-CJ1 AQUAFIN-CJ-Set AQUAFIN-P1 AQUAFIN-P4
7. C onnect the various hose sections Insert the hose ends of the ventilation hoses into a container for safekeeping and add injection nipples prior to injection (e.g. with AQUAFIN-P1 and AQUAFIN-P4).

The reliable sealing of construction joints in concrete structures is a key factor in the durability and watertightness of buildings. The use of elastomeric swelling joint tapes represents a tried-andtested, cost-effective solution for reliable sealing concrete joints against groundwater, slope water and surface water.
COMPONENTS
Elastomeric swelling joint tapes are made from special plastics containing reactive fillers and are characterised by their strong, dimensionally stable swelling behaviour upon contact with water. They can increase their volume by more than 700 per cent and adapt perfectly to joint gaps without being washed out.
As an alternative to AQUAFIN-CJ6: AQUAFIN-CJ3 or AQUAFIN-CJ4 can also be used.
AQUAFIN-CA AQUAFIN-CJ6* Fastening mesh
1a. Adhesion using assembly adhesive Spray AQUAFIN-CA assembly adhesive onto the cleaned substrate using a hand cartridge and press in the AQUAFIN-CJ6 swelling joint tape covering the whole area until the assembly adhesive pushes out at the sides.
1b. M echanical fastening Alternatively, AQUAFIN-CJ6 can be fixed with a concrete covering of at least 8 cm to the water-conducting side with 4-6 fastening points or the fixing grid. The swelling joint tape must be applied covering the whole area of the concrete substrate.
3. O verlapped butt joints Alternatively, swelling tape connections can be applied with an overlap of at least 50 mm. In this case, both swellable waterstops should be positioned close together to prevent voids.
4. Corner connections Corner connections should essentially be applied with an additional safeguard.
2. Blunt butt joints Swelling tape connections can be applied as blunt connections. In case of larger wall profiles, secure the butt joints with a separate swelling tape featuring an overlap of at least 50 mm.

Every component features corners, edges, and intersections in the form of pipes, channels, screws, and dowels that need to be waterproofed. An essential aspect of protection of buildings against dampness is also the integration of detail points like floor drains, wall-floor transition joints, or building component joints using joint tape. Additionally, joint tapes need to absorb and dissipate possible movements and stresses from the substrate reliably so that damage cannot result.

Impermeability to water The most important requirement of waterproofing materials, impermeability to water in connection with high elasticity and crack bridging, is proven to be fulfilled completely by all SCHOMBURG joint tape types and pre-formed pieces.
Connect the waterproofing material with the joint sealing tape SCHOMBURG joint tape guarantees very good surface adhesion of the waterproofing material used with the joint sealing tape. This ensures good bonding with the substrate.
Vapour permeability SCHOMBURG joint tape materials are water vapour permeable. If the waterproofing material to be used on and underneath the joint tapes is applied during joint adhesion overlapped, SCHOMBURG joint tape ensures reliable drying.
Reliability due to pre-formed pieces SCHOMBURG offers a wide assortment of sophisticated pre-formed pieces. This increases the security of complete performance and saves costs. Cutting and the possible risk connected due to any resulting complaints.
High resistance to alkalinity In case alkaline water penetrates up to the waterproofing layer, SCHOMBURG joint tape materials ensure that the joint tape cannot delaminate or disintegrate.
Building-related special productions If connections and joint waterproofing can no longer be reliably or economically completed with the standard types and solutions, we recommend ASO-Joint-Tape-2000-S wide products. This material enables building-related special products easy to produce on the building site.
Resistance to chemical attacks Especially during production of waterproofing solutions in application areas that are exposed to higher chemical stresses, joint tapes also need to be resistant against the possible effects of aggressive inorganic or organic substances. Corresponding certificates for SCHOMBURG joint tapes are provided in our documents.
