SURFACE PREPARATION
The substrate shall be PCC concrete of sufficient thickness
to ensure a firm substrate that will not crack or deform under
normal trafficable conditions during waterproofing
installation, and structural concreting operations. It should
be smooth, free from debris and other irregularities, which
may puncture and damage the waterproof liner.
1
ST
LAYER ADJUSTMENT LAYER OVER PCC

All horizontal surfaces should be covered with a uniform
adjustment layer using Non-Woven Geotextile. It has the purpose
of ensuring the uniformity of the substructure in order to avoid
that faults, irremovable debris or other roughness in the
underlying layer may cause damage, perforate or punch, the
waterproof layer.The Uniformity layer should be geotextile Non
Woven resistant to micro-organisms, needle-punched 100%pure
polypropylene yarns, with a weight minimum of 300 gsm. The geotextile layer shall be laid on the
substrate ensuring no gaps in the geotextile. The geotextile should be checked prior to the


BASF India Limited Construction Chemicals Division
application of the waterproofing membrane.

2
nd
Waterproofing Membrane Layer ( Masterpren BG / FR )

The watertight element on all horizontal surfaces shall be Masterpren BG/FR 2mm thick. Masterpren
BG/FR is a synthetic membrane made of plasticized PVC manufactured by twin coloured (having signal
layer) co-extrusion method. (refer to Technical Data Sheet for more details)
HORIZONTAL INSTALLATION
Prior to installation of the membrane, the surface shall again be
checked for sharp objects that may damage the membrane and
uniformity layer is properly in place. Roll out the membranes
with an minimum overlap of 80 mm. The membrane is loosely
aid on the horizontal surface. The edges of the membranes to
be welded must be clean and dry. Use a clean scrubber and
water to remove the dust deposits and impurities.
Sample weld to test the temperature should be carried out
before starting the work and the sample weld should be
subjected to the destructive testing as per instructions. The
depending on the environmental condition on the building site
the welding temperature shall be in the range of 450-550
Celsius.
Overlap of membrane shall be minimum 80mm and the double
seam welding is done. A pocket is created throughout the length
of the membrane. Both the ends of the membrane are plugged
and using pressure testing machine air pressure of 2 bars is
applied. Introduce pressurized air by means of a foot pump at


BASF India Limited Construction Chemicals Division
approximately 2 bar, wait for 1 minute to ensure the complete expansion of the inside groove and
then start the actual testing taking the pressure back for 2 bar. After a 10 minute interval again
check the air pressure. A 20% pressure decrease (due membrane expanding and lose from the
attached testing equipment is acceptable.) It ensures the air tight join, in turn is watertight.

POST CONSTRUCTION MAINTENANCE MECHANISM:
COMPARTMENTALIZATION AT RAFT
Water stops shall be placed at all construction joints and strategic locations to be determined
at site so as to have compartments of atleast 150m
2
.
The waterproofing membrane shall be welded to the PVC water stops to ensure it becomes
an integral part of the waterproofing system.
The purpose of the PVC water stop is to prevent, in the case of leakage, water passing from
one side of the construction joint to the other, thus limiting the remedial works required after
completion, should leakage occur.








BASF India Limited Construction Chemicals Division
FAIL SAFE MECHANISM AT RAFT
CHECK & INJECTION SYSTEM ( PRE-INSTALLED INJECTION SYSTEM - PIPETAS)

This enables control, if necessary, repair of the
compartmenting system. It is composed of a pre-formed valve
made of the same type of material (PVC) that allow direct
access to the void exisiting the waterproof membrane and the
substrate enabling monitoring and repair of the waterproof
system.
This enables a accessibility to the compartment sectors, allowing
future repair operation to be carried out by injection of water-
reactive resins.
Repair operations are extremely easy, thanks to the injection of
low-viscosity, hydro swelling, thermosetting resin based on vinyl
ester metha-acrylate chemistry for injection resins that will fill the
compartment completely, thus restoring the integrity of the
system.

After laying the horizontal plane, the concrete protective cap is cast; it shall leave the compartmenting
water stop webs free, to allow them to be drowned in the concrete.

then encapsulated in Masterseal 914 series, which is a epoxy grout.
2. The grout has a minimum thickness of 10mm below the membrane and 20mm on top of it. The grout
is extended to the edge of the pile.
3. When the dewatering is switched off or when movement takes place due to settlement or loading,
the membrane is allowed to move with the structure (because it is laid loose) yet held in place at the
pile top with the epoxy.
4. This epoxy also forms a barrier at the top of the pile to stop water rising through capillary action in
the matrix of the pile concrete.
5. Pile cap waterproofing
The epoxy grout MASTERFLEX 410 series is used to cap the pile heads and sandwich the membrane,
while allowing a movement capability at the interface of the pile head and the structure and to
waterproof the pile cap.

TREATMENT FOR CONSTRUCTION JOINTS


BASF India Limited Construction Chemicals Division

TREATMENT USING Masterseal 909 (RE-INJECTABLE HOSE)
Construction joints at the retaining wall shall be installed with Masterseal 909 , Re-injeactable hose.
Re-injectable hose specially designed with circular cross-section and containing neoprene seals on
the openings which ensures one way flow of injection resin from inside out. The hose must be design
to demonstrate re-injection capabilities at site. The Manufacturer shall provide all accessories
required for end terminations and vacuuming arrangements for maintaining re-injection capabilities.
Re-injectable hose shall be injected with hydro-swelling vinyl ester metha-acrylate based resin only
to maintain the re-injeactability property of the hose.

Masterseal 900 shall be injected withMasterseal 901, hydroswelling, water based, low-viscous,
thermo- setting resin based on vinyl metha-acrylate chemistry. The Injection resin shall have re-
swelling capacity up to 2.5 times by volume in potable water. The injection resin shall contain
accelerator to regulate the setting times and shall not of expanding foaming type product or non-
swelling formulation. The injection resin shall be effective in saline water by exhibiting positive
expansion.
APPLICATION
Re-injectable hose system ( Masterseal 909 Re-injectable hose)
1. The Masterseal 900 re-injectable hose should be prefabricated to suit the actual installation
in a particular construction joint. (See general layout guidelines below)
2. The Masterseal 909 hose should be installed just prior to formwork being done for further
concrete works. The surface of the concrete where the hose is installed should be flat and smooth.
In case surface retarders are used on the concrete joints, the length where the hose is to be installed
should be kept free of retarder for a width of 40-50 mm.

3. The Masterseal900 hose if generally installed in lengths of 10-12 meters max and in rare
situations or trafficked joints it can be extended by a few meters. This length restriction is


BASF India Limited Construction Chemicals Division
governed by the injection efficiency. Wherever possible, terminate the hoses in a vertical
element of the structure or at the edge of the horizontal casting.
4. Fabricate Masterseal 909 hose in lengths of max. 12m depending on the structure.
Attach approximately 400mm lengths of vent hose to both ends of Masterseal 900 hose and
cover the junctions with a heat shrinkable plastic sleeve. The vent serves as an injection (or exit) port
and hence does not have discharge holes. The different colors (green and clear) of the vent hoses
are to identify the input and exhaust ends.
5. The termination boxes can be procured locally. Normal electrical boxes can be cast into the
concrete. The size of the box may vary according to the number of hoses terminating in the box.
Generally, this number should not exceed 4 to simplify the injection works, when required.
There should be approx 20 cms of vent hose projecting out of the concrete.
6. The vent hoses at the two ends of the MASTERFLEX 900 should be of two different colours,
i.e. green and transparent. This gives an indication of the end of one end of a hose and the start of
the other in the box.
7. Prior to formwork being placed, a visual inspection of the hose should be carried out. Any
hose found displaced should be fixed firmly and any hose found damaged should be replaced.
8. The location of the hose in a particular joint depends on the thickness of the concrete
element but as a guideline it should be in the center of an element up to 800mm thick. For concrete
elements greater than 800mm thick, the hose should be installed within 500mm from the face
where water ingress is expected.
9. The vent hose may be tied to the reinforcing for support. Use tie wires, taking care that the
binding is not too tight. The Masterseal900 hose should be fixed to the concrete using the clips
supplied at a distance not exceeding 20cms. More clips may be required at turns and verticals. The
hose should rest flat and be firm against the substrate so as not to be displaced by concrete being
poured. There should be no gaps under the main hose where concrete or slurry might form another
joint or displace the hose.



BASF India Limited Construction Chemicals Division
10. End caps should be installed at the vent ends during fabrication and should not be removed
until injection has to be carried out. This will ensure that debris will not enter the hose during
construction and the life of the building.

Construction joints at the retaining wall shall be installed with Masterseal 910; 10mm x 10mm cross-
sectional sized hydro-swelling water bar based on advance vinylacrylate polymers. The waterbar shall be
formulated to exhibit low pre-mature swelling (less then 50%with in 12 hours) and shall not be based on
super absorbents. The water bar shall have low swelling pressure; not exceeding 0.25 MPa at full swelling
capacity. The waterbar shall be installed with special adhesive.
Installation of Masterseal 910 in Construction J oints

1. Masterflex 610 hydrophilic acrylate based water bar shall be placed in all construction joints
as secondary protection to PVC membrane system.
2. The concrete substrate to which the Masterseal 910 is to be fixed must be smooth and
sound.
3. Cut the Masterseal 910 to the required length.
4. Fix the Masterseal 910 to the concrete substrate using MASTERFLEX 610 Adhesive. Apply
light tension to the Masterseal 910 as it is being fixed. Allow the adhesive on the verticals to
dry at least over night before concreting.
5. Protect the fixed Masterseal 910 from mould release oil and dirt. Do not saturate the water
bar before concreting as this may cause it to swell.
6. After placement of the Masterseal 910, cast the next concrete pour.

QUALITY CONTROL / ASSURANCE
a) The waterproofing work will be inspected and tested in accordance with quality check and inspection
test report. This report will be used to verify compliance of the waterproofing work.


BASF India Limited Construction Chemicals Division

b) One day training workshop to be conducted by BASF at site or at clients place for the clients QA/QC /
project engineer / supervisor on welding / testing of weld joints and on supervision of entire
Masterpren BG installation.
c) After each welding sequence, the weld shall be tested using air pressure upto 2 bars initially. After
attaining a pressure of 2 bar, the pressure usually settles to something between 1.6 and 2 bar. The
pressure drop is because the material is elastic and relaxes around the needle insert location allowing
some air to escape. This does not mean the weld has failed. The weld has failed when no pressure
can be maintained and the pressure gauge drops immediately back to zero. A successful weld is
where the pressure has been maintained in this range for 5 to 10 minutes and the air channel has
fully inflated. Each successful weld shall be signed and dated by site supervising engineer.
d) The results shall be recorded on the relevant quality check and inspection test report and signed
jointly by client as well as applicators site supervising engineer.
e) Testing of every seam welded joint length shall be pressure tested and recorded the tested data shall
be written adjacent to every welded joint length on the installed membrane itself.
f) The surface of membrane shall be visually inspected to ensure that no black areas are present.
Wherever such areas are noticed, a patch shall be placed in this location.
C) Internal Side of the Tank :
i) Prepare and clean the surface for waterproofing treatment, the surface
must
be cleaned and well leveled any cracks , honeycombed surface must be
repaired and sealed.
ii) Prepare the Coving of 50x50mm at the junction of Slab and Walls of the
tank with Cement and Sand with Integral water proofing compound
MasterPel 707 admixed with it.



BASF India Limited Construction Chemicals Division
iii) Application of Masterseal 551 -
Always apply Masterseal 551 to pre-dampened surface. High-suction
substrates require more dampening then dense substrates. However,
make sure there is no free-standing water. Apply by brush or broom.
Mixed material must be used with in 30 to 45 minutes, or less under hot
weather conditions.

First Coat: Brush or broom the mix firmly onto the pre dampened,
prepared surface. Care must be taken not to spread the material too thinly.
\When the material begins to drag or ball, do not add more liquid/water
but dampen the surface again.
Second Coat: Allow at least overnight to cure before applying subsequent
coats. Dampen the first coat and remove excess moisture. Brush or broom
the mix onto the surface (as above) finishing in the opposite direction to
the first coat.

The product shall resist 1.5 bars pressure when tested as per DIN 1048 at
2mm DFT. When applied at 2mm DFT, elastomeric coating shall be able to
bridge crack up to 0.5mm width, etc complete as per manufacturers
specifications.
