What is waterproofing?
Waterproofing is one of the insulating products and equipment that are produced on the basis of bitumen. In addition to bitumen, Waterproofing uses other materials such as tissue, non-woven fibers, polymer and plastic materials as well as foil or special powder in its structure.
Waterproofing is supplied in vacuum rolls and its installation is very easy and only requires a fixed or moving flame.
Benefits of installing Waterproofing
The formation of a suitable cover and complete protection of the surface against the penetration and entry of moisture
- Having a light weight
- The price is right
- Having thermal insulation in foil and powder type
- Can be used on any surface, including walls and ceilings
- Having high tensile strength and flexibility against cracking and breaking
- Enjoying a long life and durability of about 10 years
- Quick and easy installation
Disadvantages of Waterproofing implementation
- The installation cost is high
- Needs to be installed by experts and professionals
- Implementation of correct and basic sealing to prevent moisture infiltration, spending a lot of time
- Not being able to run in the cold seasons of the year
Waterproofing of tropical regions
The difference between cold and tropical Waterproofing
If the area where you live is tropical, you should prepare tropical waterproofing. Waterproofing of tropical regions benefit from a series of special features and characteristics that make them durable in hot weather and high temperature. In this way, the best waterproofing of tropical regions is a product that has good resistance in high heat.
Waterproofing of tropical regions
Waterproofing of hot areas is resistant to high heat due to its formulation and does not lose its initial state and does not become fluid. In this way, it is very important that when preparing waterproofing for hot regions, you must use the type specific to that region.
Waterproofing characteristics for the tropics
The most important feature of tropical waterproofing is that it is used in areas with high air humidity, little rainfall and mild winters. Waterproofing for the tropics is produced using bitumen and plastic polymer, and the percentage of bitumen used in this waterproofing is not high. The plastic polymers used in this type of waterproofing increase its durability against hot weather and thus increase the life of waterproofing.
In general, tropical Waterproofing has a high viscosity and reacts very slowly to high heat. This feature makes it possible to maintain the condition of Waterproofing after installing Waterproofing, especially on the walls.
Another important characteristic of Waterproofing for hot regions is the appropriate covering. Why does tropical waterproofing benefit from coverage? Because it must reflect the heat and sunlight from the surface of the building so that its heat does not enter the environment. In this way, tropical Waterproofing should be good insulation against heat.
These waterproofing is also sold in the form of vacuum rolls weighing 40 kg with a minimum thickness of 3.5 mm, length of 10 meters and width of one meter, and in other specifications they are the same as normal Waterproofing. The thermal resistance of tropical waterproofing is up to 250 degrees Celsius, and in this way, it does not undergo any changes in sunlight.
Waterproofing for cold regions
Waterproofing for cold regions is a type of waterproofing that uses special materials with a special formula in its preparation so that this waterproofing can be used in areas with low temperatures. As you know, extreme cold causes cracks and breaks in the structure of Waterproofing.
For this reason, in order to prepare a high-quality waterproofing for cold regions, this point must be taken into account. Cold regions waterproofing is usually produced with polymer bitumen, which has elastic properties and is of BPE type. Why is elastic polymer bitumen used? Because it has good flexibility and does not crack or break easily against the cold.
Now that we talked about Waterproofing for cold regions, the question arises, which regions are called cold regions? Areas that have low temperatures almost all days of the year are called cold regions. The temperature of these areas is equal to 10 degrees centigrade even on the hottest days of the year and does not get higher than this.
In this way, waterproofing for cold regions should be prepared in such a way that it has the ability to withstand and last in lower and even negative temperatures.
Investigating the waterproofing characteristics of cold regions
Bitumen, non-woven fibers and tissue are used in the production of waterproofing for cold regions as well as other Waterproofing. With the difference that cold regions Waterproofing is prepared from modified polymer of BPE type.
The weight, length, and width of each vacuum roll of cold regions waterproofing is the same as other waterproofing, and only its thickness is a little more and equal to 4 to 5 mm. Also, Waterproofing is made in cold regions in two layers to be resistant to cold, water penetration and humidity. This type of waterproofing is resistant to temperature conditions up to -25 degrees Celsius, and no changes are made in its nature.
Note that when preparing special waterproofing for cold regions, this waterproofing must also have the characteristics of high-quality waterproofing.
A good waterproofing detection method
In our beloved country of Iran, the mountains in the western region of the country have a cold climate. For example, the average air temperature even in the hottest season of the year in these areas is about 10 degrees Celsius, such areas are called cold areas. Waterproofing for cold regions must have the appropriate weight and thickness to withstand cold and heat. When a high-quality polymer waterproofing; you touch, no blackness or fat remains on your hand. Waterproofing for cold regions have very high resistance at very low levels. Note that low-quality waterproofing is brittle at low temperatures and cracks; In the case that cold regions polymer waterproofing is completely resistant to cold.
