Preprufe System combines the advanced bond technologies of both Preprufe
pre-applied membranes for the protection of basements and other critical substructures from the effects of water, moisture and gas penetration. A full
continuous bond is formed to the structural concrete by means of the Preprufe
pressure sensitive adhesive preventing lateral water and moisture migration
between the membrane and structure.
Preprufe System provides a passive protection system that does not rely upon
hydration processes or swell in contact with water. The membranes are specially
formulated to allow application in damp or marginal weather conditions and do
not activate prematurely due to wet conditions and with Preprufe employed
beneath slabs is unaffected by any occurrence of ground settlement. The
physical characteristics ensure that protection against Methane, CO2 and Radon
are in excess of the minimum requirements stated in BRE Reports Construction
of new buildings on gas-contaminated land (BR 212) and Radon: guidance on
protective measures for new dwellings (BR 211).
Substrate:
Preprufe Membranes - Substrate must be regular and smooth. A
sound solid substrate should be created to eliminate movement during the
concrete pour. Vertically the membrane can be applied to permanent formwork,
rigid insulation, and the adjoining structure or as recommended by the
manufacturer.
Thickness: Preprufe 300R - 1.2mm
Preprufe 160R - 0.8mm
Bonding:
Preprufe fully bonds to the poured in-situ structural concrete by
means of a pressure sensitive adhesive. Apply membrane with disposable
plastic release liner uppermost. End laps should be staggered to avoid build up
of layers. Plastic release liner to remain in position until overlap procedure is
complete. Roll all laps to ensure good adhesion between sheets, in accordance
with manufacturers recommendations.
Joints: Preprufe - Side and end laps to be a minimum of 75mm. Accurately
position sheets to overlap previous sheet along indicated adhesive selvedge,
ensure a continuous bond is achieved without creases and roll firmly. For roll
ends, cut edges and for providing continuity of waterproofing at penetrations and
detailing employ Preprufe Tape LT. End laps to be staggered to avoid a build up
of layers.

anticipated movements of the building components due to shrinkage, temperature
fluctuations or settlement.
The waterproofing shall be capable of bridging any cracks, which may appear. Suitable
design measures shall be taken to ensure that any such cracks are no wider than 0,5
mm at the time they arise, and that in the event of any further movement the width of
the crack shall not exceed 5 mm and the stagger between the edges of the crack in
the plane of the waterproofing shall not exceed 2 mm.
The waterproofing shall be capable to carry the expected compressive loads perpendicular
to its plane and shall maintain its shape stability at high ambient temperatures.
Penetrations, transitions and closures shall be designed and manufactured so that the
requirements to be met by the waterproofing material and those to be met with respect
to stresses due to the action of water are fulfilled. Their functions shall remain despite
any structural movement.
Protective layers shall be capable of protecting the waterproofing of buildings durably
against damaging influences of static, dynamic and thermal nature. The type of
5

System Description
1 04 02
Unless otherwise indicated, deliver and install the damp-proofing system and, at any
time, comply with basic principles including but not limited to the following:
Damp-proofing against ground moisture shall protect buildings, structures and building
components against ground moisture impinging from outside, and shall also protect
the underground wall components against seepage water which does not become
dammed up. The damp-proofing shall be insensitive to natural waters and to waters
arising out of solution from concrete or mortar
Damp-proofing against ground moisture shall not suffer any impairment of its
protective action as a result of the anticipated movements of the building components
due to shrinkage, temperature fluctuations or settlement.
Damp-proofing shall be capable to carry the expected compressive loads
perpendicular to its plane and shall maintain its shape stability at high ambient
temperatures.
Penetrations, transitions and closures shall be designed and manufactured so that the
requirements to be met by the damp-proofing material and those to be met with
respect to stresses due to the action of water are fulfilled. Their functions shall remain
despite any structural movement.
Protective layers shall be capable of protecting the damp-proofing against damaging
influences of static, dynamic and thermal nature. The type of protective layer to be
adopted shall be appropriate to resist the anticipated stresses and other local
conditions and factors. Movements and deformations of the protective layers shall not
damage the damp-proofing. Where joints in the structure exist, joints shall be provided
at the same locations in solid protective layers.
Protective measures shall be provided as temporary protection to the damp-proofing
during the progress of construction work.
Protective layers and protective measures shall be in accordance with rules defined in
DIN 18195-10 or an equivalent Standard.
Damp-proofing of movement joints shall be designed and installed to prevent water
penetrating through the joints into the structures. The damp-proofing of movements
joints shall be according to requirements established in DIN 18195-8 or an equivalent
Standard. The damp-proofing shall be capable of absorbing the anticipated stresses
arising from any joint movements including changes in temperature.
The damp-proofing shall be made up of layer(s) according to requirements defined in
DIN 18195-4, NRCA Waterproofing Manual, or an equivalent Standard, and taking in
consideration manufacturers recommendations.
See Table 1, Annex 6 for typical examples of damp-proofing depending on various
damp-proofing materials.

Installation
3 03 01
Preparation
01.0
Clean out joints immediately before applying joint sealers to comply

with manufacturer's recommendations and the following
requirements:
01.1
Remove all foreign material from joint substrates which could

interfere with adhesion of joint sealer, including oil, grease, water
repellents, dust and paints, except for permanent, protective
coatings approved for sealant adhesion and compatibility by
sealant manufacturer.
01.2
Clean concrete, masonry, unglazed surfaces of ceramic tiles and

similar porous joint substrate surfaces, by brushing, grinding,
blasting, mechanical abrading, or a combination of these methods
to produce a clean, sound substrate capable of developing
optimum bond with joint sealers. Remove laitance and formwork
release agents from concrete. Remove loose particles by
vacuuming or blowing out joints with oil-free compressed air.
01.3
Clean metal, glass, porcelain enamel, glazed surfaces by chemical

cleaners or other means, which are not harmful to substrates or
leave residues capable of interfering with adhesion of joint sealers.
02.0
Priming: Prime joint substrates where indicated or where

recommended by sealer manufacturer, based on substrate tests or
prior experience. Apply primer to comply with joint sealer
manufacturer's recommendations. Confine primer to areas of joint
sealer bond; do not allow spillage or migration onto adjoining
surfaces.
03.0
Masking tape: Use masking tape where required to prevent contact

of sealant with adjoining surfaces, which otherwise would be
permanently stained or damaged by such contact. Remove tape
immediately after tooling without disturbing joint seal.
04.0
Sealant Backing: Install joint fillers of type indicated to provide

support of sealants during application and at position required to
produce the cross-sectional shapes and depths of installed
sealants relative to joint widths which allow optimum sealant
movement capability. Use special adjustable rollers to guarantee a
constant depth.
Do not leave gaps between ends of joint fillers.
Do not stretch, twist, puncture, or tear joint fillers.
05.0
3 03 02
Bond breaker: Install bond breaker tape between sealant and joint
fillers, or back of joints where adhesion of sealant would result in
sealant failure.

Installation Standards
01.0
Elastomeric sealant installation shall comply with ASTM C962 or

02.0
Solvent-release curing sealant installation shall comply with ASTM

03.0
Latex sealant installation shall comply with ASTM C790 or an

04.0
Acoustical sealant installation shall comply with ASTM C804 or an

Cold-applied pavement sealant installation shall comply with BS

5212 - Pt.2 or an equivalent Standard.
06.0
Hot-applied pavement sealant installation shall comply with BS

2499 - Pt.2 or an equivalent Standard.
Sealant Application
01.0
Install sealant by proven techniques that result in sealants directly

contacting and fully wetting joint substrates, completely filling
recesses and providing uniform, cross-sectional shapes and
depths relative to joint widths which allow optimum sealant
movement capability.
02.0
Tooling: Nonsag sealants shall be tooled immediately after

application prior to skinning and curing. Tool sealant to form
smooth, uniform beads of configuration indicated, to eliminate
airpockets and to ensure contact and adhesion. Remove excess
sealant from surfaces adjacent to joint. Do not use tooling agents,
which discolor sealant or adjacent surfaces or are not approved by
sealant manufacturer.
03.0
Concrete pavement sealing: Make sure, that at no time during the

anticipated operating cycle of the joint, the sealant will protrude
above the surface of the concrete pavement. To ensure this, it will
be necessary to recess the level of the sealant 5 to 8 mm below
the pavement surface, depending on the temperature prevailing at
time of application (see Annex 6, Figure 2).
04.0
Firestopping sealant: Follow strictly manufacturer's, respectively

testing agencies instructions for the installation of sealant and
required backing materials to ensure the indicated fire ratings after
curing.
