Water damages represent one of the most common, yet most expensive, of construction problems. From leaking roofs and wet basements to crumbling bridge decks, the presence of water in structures results in structural damages, mold growth and damaged finishes. Application of a waterproof coating represents one inexpensive and effective method of resolving this issue. A waterproofing coating is a liquid, which creates an elastic, homogenous, and smooth rubber membrane over the structure that is impervious to water intrusion. Unlike rigid materials that will crack, contemporary waterproof coatings flex with the underlying structure. The company Nantong Yuru Engineering Materials Co., Ltd. is a high-tech business with more than 20 years of experience and produces high-quality Waterproof Coating and several other products: Waterproof Membrane, Floor Paint, and Polyurethane Polysulfide Sealant. The main applications of waterproof coating in various uses will be discussed below.
Protecting Roofs and Balconies from Rainwater
Exposed horizontal surfaces like flat roofs, pitched roofs, balconies and terraces are the most commonly used waterproof coating. Direct rainfall and standing water is received in these areas and they are extremely prone to leaks. The Waterproof Coating is made of high-quality which creates a smooth, UV-resistant film that does not allow water to enter cracks, joints, or porous concrete. Liquid coatings can be applied by brush, roller or spray unlike torch-applied membranes which need open flames and are therefore suitable on non-uniform roofs and around roof penetrations like vents and pipes. The waterproof finishes of Nantong Yuru are developed with great UV resistance meaning they will not crack or become chalky in the long exposure to sunlight. To ensure the roofs with heavy foot traffic or where equipment is placed are made more durable, our Floor Paint can be applied as a protective topcoat.
Sealing Basements and Below-Grade Walls
Soil is always present in basements and foundation walls and is always moist. Groundwater hydrostatic pressure can cause water to enter the cracks and pores of concrete on a microscopic level. Waterproofing is commonly applied to exterior foundation walls prior to backfilling, and to interior basement walls to control small amounts of seepage. A Waterproof Coating, when used properly, ties hairline cracks, and is bonded firmly to the concrete to form a waterproof, chemically resistant layer that does not allow water to penetrate or even the soil to harm the coating. In jointing between foundation walls and floor slabs we suggest laminating the coating with our Polyurethane Polysulfide Sealant to provide total protection at points of movement. In the case of active leaks by larger cracks, we would use our Injection Grout with a Grout Pump, although in the case of preventive waterproofing, a quality liquid coating is unsurpassed.
Waterproofing Bathrooms, Kitchens, and Wet Areas
Wet rooms like bathrooms, showers, kitchens, laundry rooms, and swimming pools found in the interior of buildings need waterproof coating. The ceramic tiles and grout are not waterproof in themselves, so that water may creep through the grout lines and collect under the tiles and cause mold, mildew and structural breakdown. An application of Waterproof Coating under tile installations will form a continuous barrier; this will direct the water to the floor drains. To apply to shower floors and walls, a liquid coating can be brushed into corners and around pipe penetrations where pre-formed membranes are not available. The coatings of Nantong Yuru can be used with thinset mortars and tile adhesives and a single system can be provided. In places needing high levels of chemical resistance, such as commercial kitchens or industrial wash-down zones, our Floor Paint offers an extra layer of high-resistance, easy-to-clean surface.
Protecting Concrete Floors and Industrial Surfaces
Garages, warehouses, factories, and parking decks all are subject to constant water, oils, chemicals and deicing salts on their concrete floors. With time, there is moisture absorption, spalling, cracking and reinforcement corrosion. Floor Paint that is waterproof is used as a protective coating and at the same time decorative. Such finishes cover the concrete surface and ensure that no water or contaminants can get in. They also produce an easy-to-clean and dust-proof finish that enhances the look and safety. The Floor Paint produced by Nantong Yuru is suitable for heavy-traffic zones, which have high adhesion, abrasion, and chemical resistance. To enhance waterproofing and wear resistance on outdoor parking decks and ramps which are directly exposed to rain, a Waterproof Membrane and Floor Paint combination is recommended. In the case of expansion joints and cracks in such floors, our Polyurethane Polysulfide Sealant will guarantee that the movement will not affect the sealed surface.
