1. WATERPROOFING

2. Agenda Description Characteristics Pros and Cons Common uses Example

3. PENETRON ADMIX Waterproofing Admixture

4. PENETRON ADMIX is a proprietary blend of chemicals that reacts with moisture in concrete to form insoluble crystals, which fill pores, capillaries, and micro-cracks within the concrete, effectively blocking the passage of water.

5. Characteristics: Forms an integral waterproofing barrier within the concrete matrix. Protects against water penetration, chemical attack, and corrosion of reinforcing steel. Enhances concrete durability and extends its service life. Reduces shrinkage cracking and improves overall concrete performance.

6. PROS AND CONS Pros: Provides long-lasting waterproofing protection. Enhances the durability and lifespan of concrete structures. Reduces maintenance costs over time. Suitable for both new construction and renovation projects. Cons: Requires proper mixing and application procedures to achieve optimal results. Initial cost may be higher compared to traditional waterproofing methods.

7. Common Uses: Foundations, basements, and below-grade structures. Water treatment plants, reservoirs, and wastewater facilities. Parking structures, tunnels, and bridges. Swimming pools and other water-retaining structures.

8. Example: An example of the application of PENETRON ADMIX could be in constructing a below-grade parking garage. By adding the admixture to the concrete during batching, the garage's structural elements, such as walls and slabs, would be effectively waterproofed, protecting against groundwater intrusion and ensuring the long-term integrity of the structure despite its exposure to moisture and environmental factors.

9. PVC Waterproofing Membrane Sheets

10. PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) Waterproofing Membrane Sheets are synthetic waterproofing membranes used to protect structures from water penetration. These sheets are typically made of flexible PVC materials and are available in various thicknesses and sizes.

11. Characteristics: Flexible and easy to install, conforming to irregular surfaces. Resistant to chemicals, UV rays, and weathering. Durable and long-lasting, providing reliable waterproofing protection. Available in different colors and textures for aesthetic purposes.

12. PROS AND CONS Pros: Excellent waterproofing performance, effectively sealing out water. Versatile and suitable for various applications, including flat roofs, decks, and basements. Resistant to punctures, tears, and abrasion. Can be heat-welded at seams for enhanced integrity. Cons: Installation may require specialized equipment and skills. Vulnerable to damage from sharp objects during installation. Initial cost may be higher compared to some other waterproofing methods.

13. Common Uses: Flat roofs of buildings, including commercial and residential structures. Balconies, terraces, and decks. Below-grade structures such as basements and foundations. Swimming pools and ponds.

14. Example: An example of the application of PVC Waterproofing Membrane Sheets is in the construction of a commercial building with a flat roof. The sheets would be installed over the roof substrate, forming a continuous waterproofing layer to protect the building interior from water infiltration. The sheets could be heat-welded at seams to ensure watertightness, providing a reliable and durable waterproofing solution for the structure.
