Before I go to the topic "independent wateproofing syastem" let us discuss some conventional systems. We are familiar with some conventional waterproofing systems
2. Two component coating
Waterproofing coating- Coating treatment is widely used in our country for some few years.For horizontal treatment of surfaces like a 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
Brush applied coating system
1. Single component coating2. Two component coating
Membrane treatment system
Membranes available so far are bitumen based membranes like Tarfelt, Polyester Reinforced Membrane etc. They are available in different thicknesses and of the various price range.Let's discuss them in some details

" 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 to 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 a crack develops on the surface, the coating will also be cracked, no matter how flexible the coating is.
"If crack develops on the surface, coating will also be cracked"
Watch this video, this will further clarify how brush applied coating system behave on a concrete surface.
