Cementitious Waterproofing and Its Applications

Introduction

There are more or less 5 methods of waterproofing which are commonly used in construction. These include:

• Cementitious Waterproofing
• Liquid Waterproofing Membrane
• Bituminous Membrane
• Bituminous Coating
• Polyurethane Liquid Membrane

Out of these, cementitious waterproofing is the easiest method of waterproofing in construction, according to one of the leading construction chemicals manufacturers in India. The manufacturers, who are renowned for their bathroom waterproofing products and basement waterproofing products, say that this is so because the materials for cementitious waterproofing are easily available from suppliers of masonry products, and the fact that they’re easy to mix and apply.

Where is Cementitious Waterproofing Commonly Used?

The construction chemical manufacturers, who also provide waterproofing solutions in Delhi explain that cementitious waterproofing is often used in internal wet areas such as toilets. The method is usually a rigid or semi-flexible type waterproofing, but since it is used in internal areas such as toilets, it is not exposed to sunlight and/or weathering. Thus cementitious waterproofing does not go through contract and expansion process.

Other Applications of Cementitious Waterproofing

In addition to be used in internal wet areas such as toilets, cementitious waterproofing is also used in the following types of structures:

• Water Treatment Plants
• Sewage Treatment Plants
• Bridges
• Dams
• Railway & Subway Systems
• Marine Cargo Ports & Docks
• River Locks/Channels & Concrete Dykes
