Painting and coating waterproofing materials are very similar in composition, application, and consistency. Some divide them into two separate types, and some refer them to the same thing.
In this article we will talk about paint and coating waterproofing, after reading which you will be able to decide for yourself whether these materials belong to the same type of materials or to different ones.
The thickness of all layers of coating waterproofing is up to 4 mm, and paint - up to 1 mm. As for surface preparation, before applying the coating waterproofing, the use of a primer is not a requirement, and before painting - without a primer, it will be difficult to achieve the correct homogeneous surface.
There are different types of both coating and paint waterproofing, depending on the components, so it is possible to choose the right one for each individual case. For example, among the varieties can be distinguished:
- Inelastic;
- Elastic;
- One - component;
- Two - component;
- Resistant to positive water pressure;
- Resistant to positive and negative water pressure.
Among the requirements for the surface are:
- No cracks;
- Absence of depressions, splinters and the like;
- Cleaning from dust and dirt immediately before applying the material.
Also important is the temperature of the air and the surface, which should be within +5 - +25 degrees Celsius. But the ideal temperature for both waterproofing and performing any other repair work is +18 - +22 °C.
