Cross-sectional waterproofing in and under walls

In order to counteract moisture penetration during the construction phase at an early stage, it is recommended that the first layer of bricks in the basement wall be completely sealed. MB 2K is the perfect material for this. MB 2K can be used not only for cross-sectional waterproofing, but also to provide protection against rear moisture in the form of block waterproofing in accordance with the standards. This makes tedious waiting times or complicated shift patterns a thing of the past.

For base waterproofing in double-skin masonry, the application of liquid-applied waterproofing materials such as PMBCs or crack-bridging MDS was not clearly regulated until very recently. With the entry into force of the national regulations, the above-mentioned product systems, which have proven themselves in practice for many years, are covered by the standard DIN 18533. Thanks to its unique performance, the universally applicable waterproofing product Remmers MB 2K also scores highly in this area. Not only does MB 2K meet the specifications for crack-bridging MDS and flexible polymer thick coatings (PG-MDS/FPD), but also the compressive load capacity required for PMBCs many times over. MB 2K is also very easy to process and can be applied as a slurry or with a trowel. In combination with the non-woven laminated joint tapes of the Tape VF series, this system solution is extremely easy to use, practical and compliant with standards.

As already anchored in Eurocode 6 (DIN EN 1996) since 2012, cross-sectional waterproofing must now also be able to transfer vertical as well as horizontal design loads without damage according to DIN 18533. Due to the shear-resistant bond between floor slabs and rising masonry, crack-bridging, mineral waterproofing slurries have proven their worth in this area. The combination of the special primer Kiesol MB and the mineral waterproofing product MB 2K meets precisely this requirement and also offers optimum protection against capillary rising damp.
