Is waterproof cement really waterproof? nanotechnology glass

Concept and principle of waterproof cement

Water resistant cement is a concrete with a particular waterproofing agent included. Its major feature is to improve the thickness and impermeability of cement by altering the microstructure of concrete and lowering the number and dimension of capillary pores. Generally, waterproof cement will add water resistant products such as salt silicate and potassium silicate throughout the production procedure. These products will create a water-insoluble crystal in the hydration reaction, filling up the pores in the cement and making it water resistant.

Advantages and drawbacks of water resistant concrete

Advantages

Practical building: Using water resistant concrete resembles that of normal concrete, and no extra professional skills are needed.

Low cost: Compared to various other premium water-proof products, the price of water resistant cement is much more budget friendly and ideal for large waterproof tasks.

Great sturdiness: The waterproof concrete layer, after correct building and construction, can maintain its waterproofness for a long period of time and is not easy to age.

Widely made use of: Ideal for cellars, roofings, toilets, pool and various other scenes.

Downsides

Limitations: Water-proof cement is primarily used for mild to moderate water seepage issues. For severe water stress and long-term immersion settings, the result may not be as good as specialist water resistant finishings.

High building and construction needs: Building should be executed strictly according to the directions or else the predicted result may not be achieved.

High maintenance demands: Once the water-proof layer is harmed, repair service is more complex.
