Cementitious waterproofing: its composition, applications, and 6 benefits

Cementitious waterproofing: its composition, applications, and 6 benefits

Cementitious waterproofing is a type of material we use to seal or isolate surfaces from the influence of water and humidity. We commonly use this type of insulation in construction and civil engineering. This is where protecting structures from the effects of moisture is vital to maintaining their strength and sustainability. Also, we characterize cementitious…

Waterproofing materials: selection criteria for building protection

Waterproofing is one of the essential aspects of building construction, as it protects the structure from water leakage and moisture that may cause damage to the building structure and lead to serious health and structural problems. Therefore, we must carefully select waterproofing materials to ensure effective insulation and comprehensive protection. In this article, we will…

Lining water tanks, swimming pools, bathrooms and basements to isolate water and moisture

Lining water tanks, swimming pools, bathrooms and basements to isolate water and moisture

Lining water tanks, swimming pools, bathrooms and basements to isolate water and moisture is considered a necessary process to preserve these structures from damage resulting from water leakage. Water Reservoirs Water tanks are one of the most important elements in any building, as they provide clean water for drinking, cooking, and cleaning. These tanks are…

The role of two-component polymer-modified flexible coatings in water and moisture insulation

The polymer-modified two-component flexible coating plays an important role in water and moisture insulation. This coating consists of two molecules, a polymer molecule and a solidifying agent. When you mix these two molecules together, they interact to form a thin, flexible, waterproof film. The type of polymer molecule and hardening agent used in a two-component…

The importance of using highly flexible acrylic for insulation and waterproofing in buildings

Highly elastic acrylic is a composite material consisting of a flexible polymer, such as polyester, epoxy, or polyurethane, plus a plasticizer. Highly elastic acrylic is highly flexible, making it able to withstand climate changes, such as changes in temperature and humidity. It also features high water resistance, which prevents water leakage. Highly flexible acrylic components…
