“Some people use waterproofing agent asWaterproof coatingsare sold.” said an expert from the China Building Waterproofing Association. In areas such as Chaozhou and Shantou in eastern Guangdong, waterproofing agents are even used as general waterproof coatings. Many manufacturers simply sell waterproofing agents on the market as polymer cement waterproof coatings, and clearly indicate that the standards used are those of polymer cement coatings. “Ordinary consumers don’t understand and think that waterproofing agents are waterproof coatings. In fact, waterproofing agents are mainly used to improve the performance of cement or concrete. The products and testing standards are different from waterproof coatings.”

According to reports, the cost of mortar waterproofing layer is also higher than that of general waterproofing Paint is cheaper. A 25-kilogram bucket of waterproofing agent only costs about more than 100 yuan. However, it is easy to fake waterproofing agents and corresponding construction methods in the market. The builder can freely adjust the amount of waterproofing agent added, and consumers will not be able to tell that water has been added, which is convenient. Cutting corners caters to the preferences of bad waterproofing contractors.

Experts believe that using waterproofing agents instead of general waterproof coatings is very harmful. The mortar layer with added waterproofing agent is still just an improved mortar layer without any elasticity and extensibility, and cannot replace the waterproof layer in the general sense. The mortar with added waterproofing agent can initially provide waterproofing function after strict construction and maintenance procedures are followed. However, after the house is put into use, the waterproofing layer will begin to crack, and leakage will be more harmful at this time. If you want to completely plug the leak, you have to remove all the protective and decorative layers and redo them.

In addition, the reporter learned that there are many types of waterproofing agents, and some unscrupulous manufacturers use polyvinyl alcohol (107 glue or 801 glue ) As waterproofing agents, these are prohibited materials and difficult for ordinary consumers to identify. These substances continue to release formaldehyde indoors after the house is put into use, which will cause serious pollution to the indoor environment. Even the best high-grade fatty acid waterproofing agents on the market are mostly made of industrial waste and are also mixed with many toxic and harmful substances. Since waterproofing agents are materials used in the concrete construction process, the control standards for toxic and harmful substances in industry standards are far less stringent than waterproof coatings, and there are even no requirements.

Experts remind that waterproofing agents are not waterproof coatings and cannot form a strong and durable waterproof layer in home waterproofing areas like waterproof coatings. , Improper use of waterproof materials, later leakage will cause damage to our home decoration. As an ideal material for home waterproofing, the newpolymer cement-based waterproof coating is the first choice. The new polymer cement-based waterproof slurry is composed of organic polymer liquid and inorganic powder. It combines the advantages of high elasticity of organic materials and good durability of inorganic materials. After coating, it forms a high-strength and tough waterproof coating film with It has the advantages of good waterproof performance, aging resistance, and crack resistance. It is environmentally friendly and easy to construct. The waterproof market is a mixed bag. It is recommended that owners try to choose brand products when purchasing waterproof coatings, and look for authentic products from the original manufacturers to ensure excellent waterproof quality and environmental performance, as well as complete after-sales services.
