COLD APPLIED ELASTOMERIC BITUMINOUS WATERPROOF COATING

Waterproofing of Roofs
Most roofs are constructed in reinforced
concrete, which is known to have pores &
capillary tracts. Water penetrates through
these capillaries aided by the osmotic effect.
Concrete is known to be inherently weak in
tension; cracks & voids can also form due to
thermal expansion, contraction & shrinkage.
As a result, water will seep through these voids.
Therefore, waterproofing is required to keep
the roof water-tight since they are exposed to
the weather.
A waterproofing treatment like brickbat coba
is also weak in tension and therefore cracks,
permitting water to percolate. The slope
provided in brick bat coba helps water to drain.
But after cracking, makes it a store house of
water causing persistent dampness.

Adhesion - Adheres firmly to most of
building surfaces including concrete, felt,
brick, metal, etc.
in both horizontal or vertical surfaces

urface to be applied must be free from

dust, loose material, paint, oil, or any other
material which may impair adhesion
echanical means for surface preparation

are strongly suggested. Finally vacuum
cleaning of all loose solids and liquids can
be done, if required
ll surface cracks up to 5 mm width should
