Waterproofing

Introduction

Waterproofing means object is unaffected by water or resisting the ingress of water under specified
condition .

waterproofing is possible with varying permutations and combinations within a wide product
range.principle of waterproofing depends on

1)      Protection from rain

2.      Shelter from extreme cold or heat
3.      Privacy and safe storage of possessions

     Procedure for some waterproofing methods
Cementius waterproofing
Available powders as well as liquid form, integral water proofing compounds are the most popular
and commonly used products. Here, powder water proofing is to be mixed with neat cement,
which subsequent by will be used for products. Here powder water profess is to be mixed with
neat cement, which subsequent by will be used for preparing mortar or concrete liquid. Water
proffer is to be mixed with dosing water, which can be used in cement mix or dry concrete mix.
Such compound will be effective only when water cement ratio is controlled and proper inter
locking of ingredients of concrete is observed to get a cohesive mix based on particular size
distribution, while designing concrete mix
  
Liquid waterproofing membrane
Liquid membrane is a thin coating which consists of usually a primer coat and two
coats of top coats. It offer more flexibility than the cementitious types of
waterproofing.  The elongation properties of the coating can reach as high as 280%. 
But the durability of the waterproofing coating also depend on what type of polymer
the manufacturer use for the making of the liquid waterproofing.

 Bituminuos coating
Bituminuos waterproofing coating is made of bitumen based materials and it is not
suitable for expose to sunlight.  It become very brittle and fragile when long exposure
to the sunlight unless it is modified with more flexible material such as polyurethane
or arcylic based polymers.  The flexibility of the finished products always depend on
the solid content of the polymer added to the bitumen.

Bitumenous Membrane
Bituminuous waterproofing membrane have torch on membrane and self adhesive
membrane.  Torch on membrane is the more preferred one use because of its shelf
life and ease of use during application.
The self adhesive type must be use fast as the bonding properties of the membrane is
reducing through time.  Very often applicators find the self adhesion membrane
already lose its bonding properties when they want to apply.  therefore, they have to
use one additional primer to prevent the debonding problem in the near future.

Torch on membrane have exposed and covered types.  Exposed membrane often has
 mineral granular aggregate to withstand the wear and tear of the weathering and the
other types of membrane, contractor need to apply one protective screed to provent
the puncture of the membrane

Polyurethane liquid membrane

Polyurethane is also use for the flat roof area and exposed to weathering but it is
expensive. It can offer higher flexibility.  Polyurethane is very sensitive to moisture
content present, therefore before application, one has to be very careful evaluating
the moisture content of the concrete slab.  Otherwise peeling or debonding easily
observed after some time.

Brick Bat waterproofing

It involves coba concrete on prepared surface with graded broken brick aggregate.
Breaking and removing debris with cleaning then applying raddo of
water,chemical,cement with using brooming on Rcc then brick bat construction work
with chemical,fixing the china mosaic.

Polyacrylic chemical coating

Cleaning the surface,then applying the raddo of water,chemical,cement with using
brooming on Rcc.finally applying two coats polyacrylic chemical with white cement.

Polymerized Bitumen membrane

it is polymer modified bitumen membrane they are applied by heat or attached with
Depending on chemical composition they are of different type SBS system,atactic
polypropylene polymer,PVC membrane system

Polysulphide joint filter

Poly sulphide silicone or polyurethane silicones are used depending upon specifications and user
preference. Polysulphide is grey in color while silicone sealant is colorless or white in color. PU
can be made available in few selective colors. Most important here is movement accommodation
factor. . However, correct joint preparations at edges and bottom surface and application
methodology here is of utmost importance.

Standard application methodology for Bitumen based system

There are certain essential pre-requisites for any bitumen based water proofing system to be successful.
These are
    1)The surface to be treated should be smooth, having proper slope.
   2) There should be no depression or cracks
  3) The surface should be bone dry.
  4)  Any structural defaults in the roof or the parapet wall should be attended to before
starting the treatment
Detailed steps in laying of the bitumen based surface barrier systems will be

i) Make surface smooth, even and dry, remove local depressions and loose dirt.
ii) Paint the dried surface with bituminous primer and allow it to cure.
iii) Apply foundation coat of bitumen.
iv) Lay surface barrier membrane i.e. bitumen felt.
v)  Apply on coat of bitumen and finish with grit or coarse sand.

Architectural waterproofing company waterproofing system

A)Roof 540
it is advanced acrylic fluid applied elastomeric coating for roofs. It is five coat system.first base
coat,fabmatt polyester fabric,second base coat over the fabric and then top coat.primer is applied
before the application of this system.
Base coat : Roof 540 base coat
Top coat :Roof 540
Properties
  
Seal Tuff
It is high solid water based acrylic elastomeric coating  utilizing the latest advances in acrylic
technology. It combines acrylic emulsion polymers with reinforcing laminar pigments, powerful
biocides And non-migrating fire retardants for superior physical properties, adhesion, durability,
weatherproofing, mildew resistance and fire retardancy.
especially developed for use in embedding reinforcement fabricat detail areas and/or over the
entire roof. It is also used for achieving film build prior to top coating with ROOF 540 & TUFF
COAT Finish Coat. It is formulated to achieve superior adhesion over metal, conventional built-
up, modified bitumen, single-ply, concrete, board-stock and sprayed-in-place polyurethane foam,
and composite shingle roof substrates. SEAL TUFF forms a waterproof elastomeric seal,
uniformly covering the textured profile of these substrate.
Properties

Seal coat
. Seal Coat has two versions. One as an exposed treatment and another for cover treatment
both versions are water based and are named as Seal Coat Part A & Seal Coat Part B.
SEAL COAT both the versions have added advantages like it is a high quality water-based acrylic
finish, incorporating Fabmatt to increase the abrasion resistance properties of the film once Top Coated
with Tuff Coat, it is a special spherical silica sand and is suspended in the emulsion to provide a fine
uniform texture. This silica can be eliminated for projects requiring a smooth finish or can be
incorporated in project requiring a texture finish.
Application
For exposed treatment
Both part A and Part B mixed thoroughly and applied once thecomplete system is applied then it is top
coated with tuff coat for color and abrasion resistance requirement.tuff coat is optional and can be used as
top coat over the seal coat
For covered treatment Both part A and Part are mixed and first coat is applied then two more coat applies
without addition of water.once the systemis completed then it is covered with variety of substrate like
Pcc,Rcc,concrete,tile.
