Assessment and Technical Investigations The following is a summary of the assessment and technical investigations carried out on Proofex Page 3 of 8

4 Design Considerations 3 Use 3.1 Proofex 3000 is satisfactory for use as a damp-proof and waterproof membrane for solid concrete floors, underground structures and for internally and externally applied tanking below ground in accordance with the relevant Clauses of CP 102 : 1973, Section 3 and BS 8102 : 1990 provided it is fully supported and protected. 3.2 The product is compatible with concrete, smooth brick and blockwork or screeded substrates, and is resistant to those chemicals likely to be present in normal service conditions. However, care must be taken to prevent contact with oils and hydrocarbons. 3.3 The membrane must always be fully protected immediately after it is installed in accordance with the Certificate holder s instructions. 4 Practicability of installation The product is designed to be installed by a contractor, who is experienced with this type of product. 5 Resistance to water and water vapour Data examined confirm that the membrane, including joints, will adequately resist the passage of moisture from the ground to the inside of the building and so meet the requirements of national Building Regulations (see section 14, Table for Performance tests): England and Wales Approved Document C, Requirement C2(a), Sections 4.7 and 5.5. Scotland Regulation 9, Mandatory Standard 3.4, clauses and to Northern Ireland Regulation C4(a). 6 Resistance to mechanical damage 6.1 The product can be punctured by sharp objects and care must be taken in handling building materials and equipment over the exposed surface. 6.2 Provided there are no sharp objects present on the membrane surface prior to and during installation of the protective layer, the product will not be damaged by normal foot traffic. 6.3 The product can accommodate minor movements likely to occur under normal service conditions in the structure in which it is incorporated (see the Technical Investigations section, Table for Performance tests). 7 Adhesion Results of test data indicate that the adhesion of the product to the substrate and to itself, with joints as described in this Certificate, is satisfactory. See the Technical Investigations section, Table for Performance tests. 8 Effects of temperature 8.1 The product remains flexible at the minimum recommended installation temperature (see the Technical Investigations section, Table for Performance tests). 8.2 At low temperatures, temporary batten support at the top of the membrane is recommended prior to protection and backfilling. 9 Maintenance As the product is confined and has suitable durability (see section 10) maintenance is not required. However, it must be ensured that any damage occurring before enclosure is repaired (see section 13). 10 Durability The membrane, when fully protected and subjected to normal service conditions, will provide an effective barrier to the transmission of liquid water and water vapour for the life of the structure in which it is incorporated. Installation 11 General 11.1 Proofex 3000 must be installed in accordance with the relevant requirements of BS 8102 : 1990, CP 102 : 1973, Section 3, and the Certificate holder s instructions Concrete or screeded surfaces should have a smooth finish, free from loosely-adhering material and sharp protrusions. The substrate should be dry and dust free. Page 4 of 8

5 11.3 Vertical surfaces of brickwork, blockwork and, if necessary masonry, should be rendered to provide an even surface. Brickwork or blockwork not rendered must be flush pointed to give a smooth surface without sudden changes in level In tanking applications the membrane must be loaded. 12 Procedure 12.1 The membrane must be installed in dry conditions at temperatures between 5 C and 35 C. Care must be taken to ensure that there is no surface condensation at low temperatures Surfaces must be primed with Proofex Primer, typically at a coverage rate of between 6 m 2 to 8 m 2 per litre and allowed to dry before the application of the membrane Proofex Angle Fillets must be applied at all changes of direction. This is achieved by fixing the fillet in place on the primed substrate using approximately 6 mm long beads of Plastiseal Joint Sealant. The fillet should then be evenly covered using a 300 mm wide strip of Proofex 3000 membrane or Proofex Engage Detail Strip ensuring good contact with the substrate. Vertical application 12.4 The membrane is cut to length allowing 150 mm for end laps and positioned by partially peeling back the release paper and applying the self-adhesive face to the prepared surface The release paper is progressively removed and the membrane pressed firmly onto the wall using firm hand pressure so that it is fully bonded to the surface The selvedge release film is removed ready to receive the next length of membrane. It is aligned against the previously applied sheet with a minimum 50 mm edge lap and fixed in the same way Where vertical drops require more than one length of membrane, a minimum overlap of 150 mm should be ensured, with the lower end of the upper length overlapping the upper end of the lower length ensuring good weathering of the joints In cold weather, the top of the membrane should be supported with a temporary batten The membrane must be immediately protected with the specified protection layer in accordance with the Certificate holder s instructions. Horizontal application The roll of membrane is fully unrolled, cut to length if necessary and lined up with a chalk line One half of the sheet is rolled up and the release paper carefully cut ensuring that the membrane is not damaged The release paper is progressively removed from the centre towards one of the ends and the membrane firmly pressed against the prepared surface ensuring good even contact is achieved. The process is repeated on the other half of the sheet The selvedge release film is removed ready to receive the next length of membrane. It is aligned against the previously applied sheet allowing a minimum 50 mm edge lap and fixed in the same way The edge and end laps are rolled to ensure complete contact between the layers The membrane must be immediately protected with the specified protection layer, in accordance with the Certificate holder s instructions. Detailing and service penetrations Detailed consideration must be given to all service penetrations in tanking installations. The advice of the Certificate holder must be sought for suitable details and products that are outside the scope of this Certificate. 13 Repair Damage to the product can be repaired by patching prior to the application of protection and backfilling. The advice of the Certificate holder should be sought. Page 5 of 8
