Triflex - Model JWS -Waterproofing System for Waterproof-Concrete Joints
The waterproof-concrete construction method has been used in a range of practical applications for decades. In addition to underground car parks, waterproof-concrete is also used to build roofs and components that are in contact with soil – often including subsequent greening. Although this construction method has proven effective, damage can still often be seen today at recurring weak points, which include the construction and settlement joints of the individual components as well as the penetrations. Triflex JWS is a fleece-reinforced waterproofing system for concrete joints, and is used specifically in new builds and in the refurbishment of white tanks. The system design consisting of high-quality PMMA resins is resistant to hydrolysis and roots and rhizomes in accordance with FLL specifications, and can also be used in areas in contact with soil.
- Waterproof down to the smallest detail: Even complicated details such as door sills and cross joints can be easily and homogeneously waterproofed using liquid application techniques
- Short processing times: primer and waterproofing resin can be recoated after just 45 minutes. The system is resistant straight after the final step
- Suitable for use in new builds and refurbishments: waterproofing and protective layer are combined into one single system. The low build-up height of just a few millimetres means that no special structures need to be developed for the construction
- Durable system build-up: Triflex JWS has excellent mechanical and chemical stability. The system is hydrolysis- and alkali-resistant
- Certified safety: the Triflex ProDetail/ProTect waterproofing resins used in the Triflex JWS system have a General Building Supervisory Authority Test Certificate (abP) in accordance with Building Regulations List A, Part 2, current version. No. 1.4
Triflex JWS is a system solution specially developed for waterproofing work on white tanks, and has a General Building Supervisory Authority Test Certificate.
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).
