Over the past two decades, the construction industry has had technological advances in waterproofing materials, moving from membrane sheet applications to integral waterproofing systems. Integral systems work within the matrix of a concrete structure, giving the concrete itself a waterproof quality. There are two main types of integral waterproofing systems: the hydrophilic and the hydrophobic systems. A hydrophilic system typically uses a crystallization technology that replaces the water in the concrete with insoluble crystals. Various brands available in the market claim similar properties, but not all can react with a wide range of cement hydration by-products, and thus require caution. Hydrophobic systems use fatty acids to block pores within the concrete, preventing water passage. Products have different performances.
Basement Waterproofing
Water may enter a basement through various means including through joints, walls, or floors. Various basement waterproofing systems address these problems. There are many systems available of varying cost, effectiveness, and installation invasiveness.
Clothing Waterproofing
Clothing waterproofing involves treatments made to clothing or products during or after the production process with the intent of providing some protection against exposure to water. The extent to which an item is protected will vary by length of exposure, washing, abrasion, water depth, water composition, salinity, chemical attack, and the treatment method. Some clothes can be made waterproof by applying a spray.
