VLA - Water proofing

This document specifies a method for determining the adhesion of a bituminous emulsion coated onto aggregate when immersed in water.
The method considers two different aspects of adhesivity, i.e. immediate adhesivity and water effect on binder adhesion.
The method may be used with a reference aggregate. In that case, it measures the intrinsic adhesion behaviour of a bituminous emulsion. The method may also be used with a specific aggregate as used on a job site.

Dokument predpisuje minimalne kakovostne zahteve za bitumenske raztopine, ki se uporabljajo za
pripravo podlage gradbenih objektov, kjer se bo vgrajevala bitumenska hidroizolacija.
Bitumenska raztopina pomeni raztopino bitumna v organskem topilu oziroma raztopino bitumna v
tekočem stanju s primerno viskoznostjo za uporabo. Materiali, ki so predmet tega standarda, se
vgrajujejo brez dodatnega segrevanja. Vgradnja poteka ponavadi z mazanjem s pleskarskim
valjčkom, s čopičem ali brizganjem. Materiali (topila) za redčenje premazov ne smejo vsebovati snovi,
ki so sestavni del Priloge XVII Uredbe o registraciji, evalvaciji, avtorizaciji in omejevanju kemikalij –
REACH (Uredba EU št. 1907/2006).
Glede na podnebne razmere v naši državi se ocenjuje, da Slovenija potrebuje svoje minimalne
kriterije kakovosti. Člani SIST/TC VLA Vlaga menijo, da bi bili brez postavljenih ustreznih kriterijev
lahko oškodovani predvsem posamezni uporabniki teh materialov, še posebej, ker za te izdelke ne
obstaja harmonizirana evropska norma.
Tudi druge evropske države pripravljajo svoje nacionalne zahteve. Po posvetih v Sekciji za
hidroizolacije pri Združenju asfalterjev Slovenije, ki je pobudnik priprave ustreznega slovenskega
predpisa, člani SIST/TC VLA ocenjujejo, da je novi nacionalni standard učinkovit postopek za pripravo
kakovostnih zahtev.
