PREPRUFE® 100S
A unique, prefabricated, pre-applied waterproofing membrane that bonds integrally to poured concrete
Product Description
PREPRUFE® 100S pre-applied waterproofing membrane is a multi-layer composite waterproofing material with superior performance, including a layer of high-density PE (HDPE) film, self-adhesive polymer layer and a unique particulate layer.
PREPRUFE® 100S pre-applied waterproofing membrane can be applied on a smooth level concrete surface, qualified compacted sand-stone cushion, or used as the waterproof layer of vertical surfaces of temporary and adjacent structures. After pouring concrete directly on to the paved PREPRUFE® 100S pre-applied waterproofing membrane, the poured concrete will bond fully and permanently with PREPRUFE® 100S pre-applied waterproofing membrane.
PREPRUFE® 100S pre-applied waterproofing membrane is supplied at a width of 1.0m and 1.2m. Pour concrete after the steel bars are tied up. Please contact your local GCP representative for application details.
Main Applications
- PREPRUFE® 100S is intended for use as an economical waterproofing solution for low risk basements and other less critical structures below ground. For critical projects (i.e. occupied space and sensitive environments), GCP recommends the use of PREPRUFE® Plus with dual adhesive ZIPLAP™ technology. See separate data sheet.
Product Advantages
- Forms permanent bond to concrete poured against it, preventing water from seeping into the gap between waterproofing membrane and the structure.
- Not affected by the displacement of the basal layer/ ground settlement beneath slabs.
- Membrane can be trafficked immediately after application.
- Cold applied - No flame or hot works permits. No specialist equipment
- Chemical resistance - protects structure from salt or sulphate and is effective in most types of soils and waters.
- Water and moisture proof -Provides protection for Basement Grades 1, 2 and 3 as per BS 8102:2022 and IS 16471:2017.
- Simple and quick to install, requiring no priming or fillets.
- Allows for foot traffic immediately after application, ready for immediate placing of reinforcing steel
- Unaffected by wet conditions.
- Fully-adhered watertight laps and detailing.
- Can be applied to permanent formwork - Maximizes use of confined sites
- Excellent bonding after UV exposure and under long-term water immersion within recommended duration.
Installation
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 12mm.
HYDRODUCT® drainage composites can provide the membrane with a good surface and facilitate underground structural drainage.

2. ASTM D5385 modified: 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. ASTM C836/C1305: Test conducted at -23°C;
4. ASTM D903: Concrete is cast against the particulate surface of the Membrane and allowed to properly cure (7 days minimum). Peel adhesion of Membrane to concrete is measured at a rate of 100 mm per minute.
5. The test is conducted 15 minutes after the lap is formed and run at a rate of 2 in. (50 mm) per minute at 72°F (22°C).
Typical test values represent average values from samples tested.
Horizontal Blinding
The substrate must be free of loose aggregate, voids and sharp protrusions. Avoid curved or rounded substrates. The surface does not need to be dry, but standing water must be removed.
Vertical Sheet Piling
Use concrete, plywood, insulation or other approved facing to sheet piling to provide support for the membrane. Board systems such as timber lagging must be close butted to provide support and not more than 12mm out of alignment.
Membrane Installation
When placing PREPRUFE® 100S pre-applied waterproofing membrane, overlap the bonding edge. Use a steel roller to press the bonding edge firmly to ensure complete bonding and to achieve continuity. PREPRUFE® 100S pre-applied waterproofing membrane can be applied at -4ºC and above. When installing PREPRUFE® 100S waterproofing membrane in cold or marginal weather, the bonding edge may be heated appropriately with hot air gun or similar devices to remove moisture in order to enhance bonding.
PREPRUFE® 100S Waterproofing Membrane
Place the membrane PE film side to the substrate with particulate layer side up, facing the concrete pour. End laps should be staggered to avoid buildup of layers. Accurately position succeeding sheets to overlap the previous sheet 75mm along the marked selvedge. Ensure the underside of the succeeding sheet is clean, dry and free from contamination before attempting to overlap. Ensure a continuous bond is achieved without creases and roll firmly with a heavy roller. Any initial tack will quickly disappear.
Roll Ends and Cut Edges
Overlap all roll ends, corners and cut edges by a minimum 75mm and ensure the area is clean and free from contamination, wiping with a damp cloth if necessary.
Remove loose particulates from the surface of the PREPRUFE® 100S pre-applied waterproofing membrane lower part of lap by brush and scraper, use a hot air gun to remove particulates and adhesive from the overlap area of 80mm when using PV 100 Tape.
Apply PV 100 Tape from GCP Applied Technologies by peeling off release liner and fix one adhesive side onto the lower part of lap where particulates and adhesive have been removed. Roll firmly to ensure complete adhesion without creases or voids. Peel off the other layer of release liner and apply the upper part of PREPRUFE® 100S membrane lap onto the PV 100 adhesive tape. Roll firmly to ensure complete adhesion.
Contact your local GCP Technical Services representative to use suitable method in your region. Refer to separate detailed method statement.
Pouring of Concrete
The concrete must be poured within 30 days of application of the membrane. During pouring, take care when vibrating concrete to avoid damaging the waterproofing materials.
Formwork Removal
PREPRUFE® 100S pre-applied waterproofing membrane can be applied to removable formwork, such as slab perimeters, elevator and lift pits, etc. Once the concrete is poured the formwork must remain in place until the concrete has gained 20 N/mm2 compressive strength to develop the surface bond. PREPRUFE® 100S pre- applied waterproofing membrane is not recommended for conventional twin-sided wall forming systems.
As a guide, to reach the minimum compressive strength stated above, a structural concrete mix with an ultimate strength of 40 N/ mm2 will typically require a cure time of approximately six days at an average ambient temperature of -4ºC, or two days at 21ºC. Please contact your local GCP representative for more details.

Application with BITUTHENE® Membrane and Joints
If PREPRUFE® 100S pre-applied waterproofing membrane is applied together with BITUTHENE® membranes, or for areas such as construction joints, allow for another 150mm-wide overlap so as to protect PREPRUFE® 100S pre- applied waterproofing membrane from being contaminated. This 150mm-wide membrane can offer overlap with the follow-up waterproofing membrane that is installed.
