Summary:
This document is applicable for compression sealing profiles as box profiles (box-shaped cross-section) made of elastomer with a closed surface for sealing or covering joints in concrete or masonry against ground moisture or non-pressing water. Typical applications for elastomer compression sealing profiles are joints in bridge caps, swimming pools, sewage treatment plants, retention basins, underground joints in sewer structures and angle retaining walls as well as flood protection walls. This document specifies requirements for the material and installation. Application examples are given in Annex B. This document provides guidance on the selection of different base polymers of elastomer compression sealing profiles that can be used for the following exposures: a) waste water; b) Groundwater; c) seawater; d) surface water; e) ozone exposure. This document is not applicable to compression sealing profiles made of other materials. This document is not applicable to LAU systems, JGS systems and biogas systems. This document is not applicable to elastomeric joint profiles made of vulcanized rubber for concrete pavements, which are standardized in DIN EN 14188-3. This document is not applicable for waterproofing with a water pressure load with a one-dimensional deformation of more than ±10 %.
