Areas of application
BORNIT® BORNIthene Plus can be used outdoors and indoors as a waterproofing layer on vertical and horizontal surfaces against ground moisture and non-pressing water (W1-E and W4-E). It can also be used for waterproofing against capillary ascending moisture and as a water-vapour barrier in the floor area underneath screed (e.g., outer basement walls, balconies, terraces, roof loggias, wet rooms, retaining walls, basement garages).

Type and properties
BORNIT® BORNIthene Plus is a cold self-adhesive polymer bitumen sheet for waterproofing of buildings against ground moisture and non-pressing water (W1-E) as well as against splash water and capillary water (W4-E). BORNIT® BORNIthene Plus is solvent-free and can be used indoors and outdoors. BORNIT® BORNIthene Plus can be processed well at low temperatures, is tear-resistant, immediately waterproof and resistant to driving rain, as well as crack-bridging.
BORNIT®-BORNIthene Plus is tested to be radon-tight.

Surface
Suitable substrates are structurally dense concrete, plasters PII b, PIII b according to DIN 18550, masonry of building bricks, lime-sand bricks, light-weight concrete and hollow concrete blocks built according to DIN, and porous concrete. The masonry must have solidly filled joints, with smoothed joints, if applicable.
The substrate must be thoroughly prepared, so that upon adhesion, the sealing sheet adheres over the entire surface and can be laid without underlying hollow spaces. The substrate must be flat, smooth, pressure-resistant and stable as well as free from contaminations, mould oils, tar, pitch, old coatings, greases, ice, moisture and dust. It must be free from concrete pockets, breakouts, blowholes, cracks and ridges. Protruding mortar residues must be removed, sharp edges smoothed, inner corners formed as fillets (e.g., with BORNIT® Triangle Tape) and joints flushly closed. The surfaces to be waterproofed must be protected from moisture penetrating from the rear. At processing temperatures above +5 °C, the substrates are primed with BORNIT® Unibit. In case of colder temperatures (down to -5 °C), BORNIT® Hot Compound Primer or BORNIT® Hot Compound Primer Fix must be used in any case, in order to ensure the necessary adhesion of the sealing sheet! The drying time of the primer can vary depending on temperature and weather conditions.
Application of BORNIT® BORNIthene Plus must only be undertaken after complete and thorough drying of the primer!
BORNIT® BORNIthene Plus should be stored at room temperature prior to processing. Let the primer thoroughly dry! After drying, adhesion should be tested by adhering small strips of BORNIT® BORNIthene Plus, pressing them on, and then tearing them off again. If the strips can be peeled off easily or if more than 50 % of the primer become detached from the substrate in doing so, then drying has not been sufficient yet and there is no sufficient adhesion of the CAS sheet on the substrate yet! In this case, do not continue working! Sufficient drying / adhesion have only been achieved, when the strip can only be peeled off with effort. Then BORNIT® BORNIthene Plus must be adhered within the next 6 hours. Otherwise priming with a system primer is required again.
Important note
During the construction phase, no water must penetrate between substrate and waterproofing! Upon adhesion early in the morning, please pay attention to possible condensation on the primer (especially in the wall/floor area)! These surfaces must be dried, since otherwise the BORNIT® BORNIthene Plus waterproofing sheet cannot be adhered. The substrate must be free from ice. Do not process under direct solar irradiation. Observe processing temperatures of -5 °C to +30 °C! Store cool during summer. Only remove from the packaging for direct processing.
ATTENTION: Do not use as a top layer / cover layer! The material is not UV-stable.

Processing
Upon processing as well as determination of possible uses, in principle observe DIN 18533-2.
1. Cut the BORNIT® BORNIthene Plus sealing sheet to the required dimensions using a sharp knife and roll them up again.
2. Adhere cut-to-size strips of approx. 30 cm in width to all outer and inner corners for reinforcement. Waterproofing of protruding outer corners (e.g., projecting foundations) is undertaken with the sealing sheet in such manner that first a triangle and then a square with an incision are adhered over the corner, so that a double waterproofing layer is provided.
3. First adhere sheets with approx. 1 m in length and respective lateral overlapping of 8 cm in the lower area of the wall/floor connection from bottom to top (starting at the front face of the floor slab). Before attaching the next sheet, remove the separating film from the self-adhering edge.
4. Waterproofing of the wall surfaces from the base to the lower waterproofing layer is undertaken from top to bottom with sheets cut to size in advance. The sheet length must be chosen such that an overlap of 15 cm over the lower waterproofing layer can be provided. Then uniformly peel off the protective backing by approx. 50 cm at the beginning of the sheet, place the cut-to-size sheet on the substrate with the adhesive side, align it and press it on.
5. Continue peeling off the protective backing and press on the sheet from the centre outward using a brush or a cloth, in order to achieve good immediate adhesion and to avoid folds and air bubbles.
6. Subsequently roll on the entire sheet using a rubber roller in a firm and uniform manner. Prior to attaching the next sheet, respectively remove the separating film from the self-adhering edge. The sheets must overlap by 8 cm, roll on these areas with particular diligence.
7. In case of vertical surfaces in the upper junction area, the sheets are secured using clamping rails or flashing strips.
8. Prior to filling the construction pit, the sealing sheets must be protected against damaging (e.g., using polystyrene drainage panels, dimpled sheeting with filter fleece, etc.). Vertical surfaces must be filled up with soil immediately. Horizontal surfaces must be covered and pressed on for 2 weeks. During this period, the surfaces waterproofed with BORNIT® BORNIthene Plus must be protected from solar irradiation.
9. Upon installing additional thermal insulation (between sealing sheet and dimpled sheeting), e.g., made of polystyrene rigid-foam panels, these are adhered onto the BORNIT® BORNIthene Plus sealing sheet using BORNIT® 2C Flex (Thick Bitumen Coating).
