Triflex JWS: waterproofing of waterproof concrete joints according to waterproofing guideline
White tanks require that simple, monolithic constructions are chosen, and when these are not to the client’s taste, then installing joint tapes correctly can often prove difficult. If further, complex construction then takes place on top of the substructure, then the water-tightness of the joints must be guaranteed in the long term. Thanks to the liquid waterproofing application, reliable protection is ensured down to the smallest detail, allowing for the uniform waterproofing of all types of details and joints, whether in compact spaces or in unusual configurations. The full-surface substrate adhesion prevents any underflow of the waterproofing.
The Triflex ProDetail/ProTect waterproofing resins used in the Triflex JWS system have a General Building Supervisory Authority Test Certificate (abP) in accordance with the Building Regulations List A, Part 2, No. 1.4 – Normally flammable joint waterproofing for concrete components with high water-penetration resistance against pressurised and non-pressurised water and against ground moisture. The tests are based on the testing principles for joint waterproofing (PG-ÜBB): The junctions of structural waterproofing on concrete components with high penetration resistance and in accordance with the specifications in the working group Building Regulations List A, Part 2, No. 1.4 on the assessment of settlement joints. The system is also root- and rhizome-resistant in accordance with FLL specifications, and is suitable for use in water-exchange zones in usage class A, wear classes 1 and 2 in accordance with the German Directive on Watertight Concrete Structures (WU Directive).
Determination of construction type
| Triflex JWS, version 1 | Triflex JWS, version 2 | |
| Joint type | Controlled crack joint, construction joint, settlement joint | Settlement joint |
| Joint width | < 30 mm | > 30 mm |
| Max. resulting deformation | Vr = 22.4 mm * | Vr = 26.9 mm * |
| Max. water pressure | Permissible: 0.3 bar/3 m water column Tested: 1.5 bar/15 m water column |
Permissible: 0.4 bar/4 m water column Tested: 2.0 bar/20 m water column |
* With max. resulting deformations, the test setups and their results must be observed based on the associated General Building Supervisory Authority Test Certificate (AbP). These form the basis of the values reached. Changes to the geometry, the uncoupling zones and the loop depths can cause the maximum resulting deformation values to be higher or lower.
