LIQUID APPLIED JOINT FREE WATERPROOFING MEMBRANES

Liquid waterproofing membranes are liquid, applied like paint or spray, etc., which take the form of highly flexible (very high elongation) monolithic (jointless) membranes with excellent waterproofing capabilities. We have developed liquid-applied waterproofing membranes, such as polyurethane waterproofing and sealing membrane, polyurea membrane, hybrid polyurea membrane &, etc., from numerous compounds to fix the leakages.

FAQs

Liquid-applied waterproofing is a method used to protect various surfaces from water and moisture damage. It involves applying a liquid-based coating, typically made from polymers like polyurethane or acrylics, directly onto the surface. This coating dries or cures to form a seamless, flexible, and durable waterproof barrier. This method is favored as it is joint free, is able to adapt to surface irregularities and undulations, for its adaptability, strong adherence, and effectiveness in providing long-lasting water-resisting protection.
The best liquid membrane waterproofing depends on the specific requirements of the project, including the type of surface being treated, environmental conditions, and desired durability. However, some of the best ones are SUNPROOF PU 1K, polyurethane waterproofing membrane, SUNKOTE WP+ single component elastomeric waterproofing membrane, POLYALK WP polymeric cementitious waterproof coating, etc.
Yes, a liquid waterproofing membrane is highly effective for protecting various surfaces from water damage. It offers seamless coverage, ensuring no gaps or weak points that can occur with sheet materials. The flexibility of these membranes allows them to adapt to structural movements and temperature changes, preventing cracks. Easy to apply, they are ideal for complex surfaces and challenging areas.
Liquid waterproof membranes can last 10+ years, but lifespan depends on type, application, and exposure. Quality membranes paired with proper installation can even last 60 years! Be sure to choose the right one for your surface and consider reapplying if needed to maintain protection.
Start by thoroughly cleaning and drying the area to be treated. Depending on the product manufacturer’s recommendation, you might need to apply a primer for better adhesion. The liquid membrane can then be applied using a brush, roller, or sprayer, making sure to apply multiple thin coats for optimal effectiveness. Each coat requires a specific amount of drying time, as indicated in the product's instructions. Bear in mind that, based on the type of membrane and environmental exposure, it might be necessary to reapply it every 5 to 10 years.
