Some advanced VAE-Acrylics are used was waterproofing membranes. Waterproofing membranes are seen in:
- Cellar walls
- Walls and floors in wet areas (toilet, bathroom, kitchen)
- Swimming pools
- Water tanks
- Balconies & terraces (as an impermeable layer beneath tiles)
- Sewage drainage
- Surface-protection systems for structrual concrete (protectsion against Co2, chlorides, sulfates, humidity)
- Protecting buildings from aggressive chemicals (sulfates, acids, acid rain).
- For both, Bituminous and non-bituminous materials
- For Cementitious 1K and 2K materials
- For ready to uses 1K systems
VAE can help to reach the requirements of waterproofing membranes
- Very good adhesion to organice substrates and good cohesioin under permanent water impact
- Hihg flexibility with carck-bridging properties
- Good vaper permeability
- Low water uptake
- Forms a good watertight seal under high hydrostatic pressure
- Good scratch and abrasion resistance
- Good weathering resistance
