Independent waterproofing system

Before i go to the topic "independent wateproofing syastem" let us discuss about some conventional systems. We are familiar with some conventional water proofing systems

First category is coating

1. Single component coating
2. Two component coating

Second is membrane treatment, 

membranes available so far are bitumen based membranes like Tarfelt, Polyester Reinforced Membrane etc. They are available on different thicknesses and of various price range.Lets discuss about them in some details

Waterproofing coating- Coating treatment is widely used in our country for some few years.For horizontal treatment of surfaces like terrace, terrace garden,podium slab, sunken slab; two component chemical is generally preferred. Two component product has compound A (powder) + compound B(Polymer liquid).
               Many companies are there, across the globe placed there two component waterproofing chemical in market. Every product has its different powder to liquid ratio; here let me clarify that as far as two component products are concerned, powder to liquid ratio is a very crucial part for determining the quality of final outcome.More the polymer liquid content with respect to powder, higher will be the quality of coating because higher polymer content leads to more flexible coating.
           
                         The most important thing i want  to discuss here is that

                  " waterproofing coating is a dependent waterproofing system"

                     Let me explain by "dependent waterproofing system" what i mean 

      when any type of brush applied coating is done on any surface, that completely sticks over the surface and become dependent on the stability of the surface. If any kind of deformation, undulation occurs on the substrate; that will reflect on the coating. If crack develops on the surface, coating will also be cracked, no matter how flexible the coating is.
