This material is used to create the insulating layer in areas with high humidity. It is composed of waterproof polymers. The highest content requirements are put forward for the lining of pools and wells.

When creating substance for waterproofing are taken into account two factors: the presence of constant contact with water and the degree of hydraulic loads. To achieve the desired result, the composition add a resin of different type:

  • polyurethane,
  • epoxy,
  • acrylic.

To enhance the water repellent quality of the solution should be used in the process of applying special equipment. It is best for this purpose is concret machine.

Setoguchi solution in its properties it resembles lead shield, only its cost is much lower. That defense was at the proper level, the layer should be at least 50 mm. If necessary, increase it.

The solution solidified, the ambient temperature cannot be below 15 degrees Celsius. Moreover, all the work should be executed in a single run. To stitch pieces of plaster between them is prohibited, as it does not guarantee full protection.

Another special material for the lining is acid-proof plaster. It is indispensable in scientific centers, where work with chemicals and manufacturing. A unique property of the coating is to neutralize chemical fumes.

To achieve the desired consistency in solution is added liquid glass. For full protection it is additionally covered with a layer of cement, which is subsequently overwritten. Also here a stone to fill up the flour and quartzite.

Types of plaster according to the fillers ↑
