What are all the chemicals that can be used for waterproofing buildings?
Answer:
Here are some:
Epoxy
Polyurethane
Silicones
Chlorinated Rubber Paint
Synthetic Rubber Paint
Polymers
Acrylic
Polysulphide Sealant
Here are some methods:
- Surface waterproofing: done with coating plates, bituminous emulsions, vinyl pastes, resins and sealants.
- Integral waterproofing: integrated to the mass of concrete, affecting its permeability.
- Hydrophanous waterproofing: integrated to the mixing water or used as curing systems, allow the improvement of concrete’s characteristics such as workability, compression resistance, decrease of reinforcement steel corrosion, decrease of fissures and cracks, and extended durability.
Here are some types of Waterproofing:
- Rigid waterproofing is meant to seal filtrations, make waterproof concrete structures or waterproof coatings. Treatments for rigid waterproofing generally are: concrete and cement integral additives, and cement, epoxic, plastic, or metallic coatings.
- Flexible Waterproofing is intended for structures affected by temperature changes and water settlements. This kind of waterproofing is a protection capable of absorbing movements without suffering damages that could allow water access. Flexible treatments are membranes, hot asphalts, cold asphalts (based in water or solvent), polymer emulsions, vinyl emulsions, and acrylic emulsions.
