Application

Substrate

Suitable substrates include properly prepared:

concrete blinding
well compacted sand on rolled crushed stone
rigid insulation
clay heave boards
permanent formwork
removable formwork
19 mm plywood
HYDRODUCT® drainage sheets
Adjacent sub-structures

Substrate Preparation

All surfaces - It is essential to create a sound and solid substrate to eliminate movement during the concrete pour. Substrates must be regular and smooth with no gaps or voids greater than 0.5 in. (12 mm). Grout around all penetrations such as utility conduits, etc. for stability.

Horizontal - The substrate must be free of loose aggregate and sharp protrusions. Avoid curved or rounded substrates. When installing over earth or crushed stone, ensure substrate is well compacted to avoid displacement of substrate due to traffic or concrete pour. The surface does not need to be dry, but standing water must be removed.

Vertical - Use concrete, plywood, insulation or other approved facing applied to sheet piling to provide support to the membrane. Board systems such as timber lagging must be close butted to provide support and not more than 12 mm out of alignment. HYDRODUCT® 200 or 220 drainage sheet can be used to bridge voids, gaps and out of alignment up to 50mm prior to PREPRUFE® 300R Plus membrane installation.

Installation - General

Please refer to PREPRUFE® (300R Plus) Membrane Application Manual for detailed instructions.

PREPRUFE® 300R Plus membranes have coloured ZipStrips™ at the top and bottom of the seam area on the edge of the roll. Both ZipStrips™ cover an aggressive adhesive. Once the yellow ZipStrip™ on the top of the membrane and the blue ZipStrip™ on the bottom of the membrane are removed, a strong adhesive to adhesive bond is achieved in the overlap area. This PREPRUFE® ZipLap™ provides an enhanced sealing of the overlaps in harsh conditions combined with a fast and easy way of execution without specialised equipment, heat or power.

Horizontal substrates –

PREPRUFE® 300R Plus membrane can be applied in horizontal applications to smooth prepared concrete, carton forms or well rolled and compacted earth or crushed stone substrate. Kick out or roll out the membrane HDPE ﬁlm side to the substrate with the yellow ZipStrip™ facing towards the concrete pour. End laps must be staggered to avoid a buildup of layers. Leave the yellow and blue ZipStrips™ on the membrane until overlap procedure is completed. When placement of the membrane is completed remove ZipStrips™. Allowing the two adhesive layers to contact each other and form the ZipLap™ bond. When installing over carton forms, contact your local GCP representative.

Accurately position each succeeding sheet to overlap the previous sheet 75 mm along the marked selvedge with the blue ZipStrip™ on top of the yellow ZipStrip™. Ensure the underside of the succeeding sheet is clean, dry and free from contamination before attempting to overlap. Peel back and remove both the yellow and blue ZipStrips™ in the overlap area to achieve an adhesive to adhesive bond at the overlap. Ensure a continuous bond is achieved without creases and roll ﬁrmly with a heavy roller.

PREPRUFE® 300R Plus membrane can be returned up the inside face of slab formwork to attain a fully bonded system and to allow a tie in with BITUTHENE® self-adhered membrane PROCOR® or SILCOR® fluid-applied membrane, or INTEGRITANK® membrane to all vertical structural surfaces after removal of formwork.

Vertical substrates –

PREPRUFE® 300R Plus membranes can be applied vertically to permanent formwork or adjoining structures. Mechanically fasten the membrane vertically using fasteners appropriate for the substrate with the yellow ZipStrip™ facing towards the concrete pour. The membrane may be installed in any convenient length. Fastening should be made through the selvedge within 12mm of the leading edge of the membrane using a small and low proﬁle head fastener so that the membrane lays ﬂat and allows ﬁrmly rolled overlaps. Accurately position succeeding sheets to overlap the previous sheet 75 mm along the marked selvedge with the blue ZipStrip™ on top of the yellow ZipStrip™.

Ensure the underside of the succeeding sheet is clean, dry and free from contamination before attempting to overlap. Peel back and remove the release liner covering both the yellow and blue ZipStrips™ in the overlap area to achieve an adhesive to adhesive bond at the overlap. Roll ﬁrmly to ensure a watertight seal.

Note that PREPRUFE® 300R Plus membranes must not be used with conventional two-sided formwork.

Alternate Vertical Wall Waterproofing Options

GCP also offers alternatives to pre-applying PREPRUFE® 300R Plus to vertical formwork. For conventional application to walls after formwork removal use BITUTHENE® 8000HC Membrane- self-adhesive sheet waterproofing membrane or INTEGRITANK® spray applied seamless waterproofing membrane. See separate data sheet and installation instructions and drawings for further information at gcpat.com or contact your GCP representative.

Roll ends and cut edges –

Overlap all roll ends and cut edges by a minimum 75 mm and ensure the area is clean and free from contamination, wiping with a damp cloth if necessary. Allow surface to dry and apply PREPRUFE® Tape HC centered over the lap edges and roll ﬁrmly. Immediately remove tinted plastic release liner from the tape.

Internal & External Corners and Penetrations

Refer to the most current detail drawings and instructions available at gcpat.com or from your local sales representative.

Membrane Repair

Inspect the membrane before installation of reinforcement steel, formwork and final placement of concrete. The membrane can be easily cleaned by low pressure power washing if required. Repair damage by wiping the area with a damp cloth to ensure the area is clean and free from dust, and other contaminants and allow the membrane to dry. Repair small punctures and slices 12 mm or less by applying PREPRUFE® Tape centred over the damaged area. Repair punctures and holes larger than 12mm by applying a patch of PREPRUFE® membrane. Extend the patch 150 mm beyond the damaged area. Seal all edges of the patch with PREPRUFE® Tape. Where exposed selvedge has lost adhesion or laps have not been sealed, ensure the area is clean and dry and cover with fresh PREPRUFE® Tape. Any areas of damaged membrane must be covered with PREPRUFE® Tape. All PREPRUFE® Tape must be rolled firmly and the tinted release liner removed.

Slices or relief cuts can be butted or overlapped and repaired by applying PREPRUFE® Tape centred over the edge of the overlap or centre of the butt joint. Where it is not possible to create a butt joint or overlap, repair with fresh membrane and PREPRUFE® Tape as detailed above.

Pouring of Concrete

Under most climatic conditions concrete should be poured within 56 days of membrane installation. Where ambient temperatures will exceed 38˚C for more than a total of 7 days, concrete should be placed within 42 days of installation of the membrane. Concrete must be placed and compacted carefully to avoid damage to the Membrane. Never use a sharp object to consolidate the concrete.

Removal of Formwork

PREPRUFE® Plus membranes can be applied to slab perimeter formwork, pile caps, etc. Once concrete is poured the formwork must remain in place until the concrete has gained sufficient compressive strength to develop the surface bond with PREPRUFE® 300R Plus Membrane. A minimum concrete compressive strength of 20 N/mm² is recommended prior to stripping formwork supporting PREPRUFE® 300R Plus membranes. Premature stripping may result in loss of adhesion between the membrane and concrete.

Footnotes:
1. Lateral water migration resistance is tested by casting concrete against Membrane with a hole and subjecting the Membrane to hydrostatic head pressure with water. The test measures the resistance of later water migration between the concrete and the Membrane.
2. Hydrostatic head tests of PREPRUFE® Membranes are performed by casting concrete against the Membrane with a lap. Before the concrete cures, a 3 mm spacer is inserted perpendicular to the Membrane to create a gap. The cured block (cured min. 7 days) is placed in a chamber where water is introduced to the Membrane surface up to the head indicated.
3. Elongation of Membrane is run at a rate of 50 mm per minute.
4. Concrete is cast against the protective coating surface of the Membrane and allowed to properly cure (7 days minimum). Peel adhesion of Membrane to concrete is measured at a rate of 2 in. (50 mm) per minute at room temperature
5. The test is conducted 15 minutes after the lap is formed and run at a rate of 50 mm per minute.
6. Test conducted at -23°C
7. Independent Laboratory Test Values available on request
8. Result is published for HDPE carrier film run at a rate of 500mm per minute
