Membrane Systems:
- Bitumen membranes: Rolled sheets or self-adhesive membranes made from modified bitumen, asphalt, or tar.
- Polymer membranes: Pre-fabricated sheets or liquid-applied systems made from thermoplastic polymers (e.g., PVC, TPO), polyolefins (e.g., EPDM), or rubber (e.g., neoprene).
- Polymeric cementitious membranes: Liquid-applied or cementitious slurry-based coatings that create a flexible, waterproof barrier.
Liquid-Applied Coatings:
- Acrylic coatings: Water-based or solvent-based coatings that provide a seamless, elastic membrane.
- Epoxy coatings: Durable, chemical-resistant coatings that bond to various substrates.
- Polyurethane coatings: High-performance, elastomeric coatings that offer excellent flexibility and abrasion resistance.
- Silicone coatings: Long-lasting, UV-resistant coatings that adhere to most materials.
Cementitious Coatings:
- Hydrophobic cement: A specialized type of cement that repels water, creating a watertight barrier.
- Cementitious slurry: A mixture of cement, sand, and water that is applied as a thick coating.
- Penetrating sealers: Water-based or solvent-based solutions that penetrate into concrete or masonry, blocking the pores and preventing water infiltration.
Other Materials:
- Flashing: Sheet metal or plastic material used to seal joints and transitions.
- Caulking and sealant: Flexible materials used to fill gaps and seal penetrations.
- Waterstops: Pre-formed strips or membranes placed in joints to prevent water seepage.
- Adhesives: Specialized adhesives used to bond waterproofing materials to various substrates.
- Geocomposites: Geotextile fabrics or prefabricated drainage boards used to control groundwater and prevent hydrostatic pressure.
- Bitumen membranes: Rolled sheets or self-adhesive membranes made from modified bitumen, asphalt, or tar.
- Polymer membranes: Pre-fabricated sheets or liquid-applied systems made from thermoplastic polymers (e.g., PVC, TPO), polyolefins (e.g., EPDM), or rubber (e.g., neoprene).
