PROCESSING INSTRUCTIONS

Product catalog summary
General Overview
This document outlines the processing instructions for the FRANKO SIL® system, focusing on tools, aids, and procedures for waterproofing applications. It is intended for trained specialists and includes instructions for adhesive strength testing.
Tools and Aids
Essential tools include safety goggles, agitators, cleaning cloths, trowels, brushes, and personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and long-sleeved clothing. Specific tools recommended for surface waterproofing include a 3.5 mm notched trowel blade.
System Concept
The FRANKO SIL® system is part of a product range including FRANKOSIL®, REVOPUR®, and FRANKOLON®, each designed for specific waterproofing needs. The system is noted for its ease of processing, non-toxicity, and speed when combined with Turbo Shot.
Technical Data
Key specifications include rainproof times, reworkability, and material consumption rates. For instance, FRANKOSIL® 1K Plus is rainproof after 30 minutes and walkable after 1.5 hours. Detailed mixing ratios and consumption rates for various products are provided.
Processing Instructions
Cleaning and Priming: Substrates must be free from dirt, oils, and loose components. Primers like PR115 and PR130 are applied after thorough cleaning with TH610.
Waterproofing Preparation: FRANKOSIL® 1K Plus is prepared by measuring and cutting fleece, applying adhesive tape, and stirring the product thoroughly. Turbo Shot accelerates curing and reduces processing time.
Fleece Cuts
Instructions are provided for cutting and applying fleece to various structures such as roof aerators, outside corners, and inside corners. The fleece must be inlaid without folds and fully saturated.
Adhesive Strength Test
Detailed instructions are provided for conducting adhesive strength tests to ensure the effectiveness of the waterproofing application.
Conclusion
The document emphasizes the importance of following precise procedures and using the correct tools and materials to achieve optimal waterproofing results. Training is recommended for those unfamiliar with the system.
Specifications
Fleece cuts for skylight domes should be round with a diameter of approximately 20 cm, and cuts should be made towards the center. Fleece should be guided to the lower edge of the skylight base, with at least 10 cm laid out on the flat roof surface. The diameter of the fleece cut is calculated using the formula: Diameter procedure x 3.141 / (medium width fleece cut – 1 cm side overlap).
Procedures
Apply the first layer of sealing in even thicknesses, using approximately 1/2 to 2/3 of the specified amount. Insert the fleece into the fresh sealing without folds and roll it with a dry nylon skin roller. Apply the second layer of sealing after inlaying the fleece, ensuring a fully saturated, glossy surface. Remove adhesive tape immediately after application.
Adhesion Strength Test
Two methods are available: sending a sample to the laboratory or conducting a peel test on-site using the FRANKOSIL® 1K Plus To Go Set. Test surfaces must be prepared by cleaning and applying specific layers of FRANKOSIL® 1K Plus and primers. Evaluation levels range from 1/2 (poor adhesion) to 4 (very good adhesion), with levels 3 and 4 indicating sufficient adhesion.
Recommendations
Ensure all surfaces are clean and free of loose parts before applying any layers. Follow the specified drying times for each layer and primer to ensure optimal adhesion.
