How to choose leak-stopping products during waterproofing construction?
The leakage plugging product is a new type of highly efficient inorganic moisture-proof, impermeability, leakage plugging material and excellent bonding material. It is divided into two types: quick-setting leakage plugging type and slow-setting and anti-permeability type, both of which are single groups. Divide into gray and black powder.
Rapid setting. Leak plugging type: used for anti-seepage, plugging leaks, and emergency repairs.
Retarding and impermeable type: used for moisture-proof, impermeable, and large-area waterproofing.
Leak plugging products are generally made of aluminate cement, calcium chloride and other quick-setting agents and some auxiliary additives. They are characterized by a short curing time, and they are very rigid and can easily shrink due to shrinkage. cracking. The condensation time, that is, the time when it begins to gain strength, varies according to different proportions. It is generally divided into fast condensation, left and right, medium-speed condensation, - and slow condensation, above.
The main features of leak plugging products are:
◆Non-toxic, harmless, and can be used in drinking water projects.
◆Quick setting and hardening, instant water stop, early strength and high strength, impermeability and crack resistance
◆Can be constructed with water and quickly plugged, and can be constructed on both the front and back surfaces.
◆The setting time is adjustable, and it can be waterproof or bonded.
And because leak-stopping products are concealed products used before waterproofing decoration, people don’t pay enough attention to them and there are many incorrect uses. What is the correct way to use leak-stopping products?
First, for different needs, products with different setting times need to be used. When there is open water leakage, fast-setting products are needed, while when painting in ordinary bathrooms, medium-speed or slow-setting leak-stopping products are needed.
Second, we must pay attention to the leakage plugging function of the leakage plugging product. Because it is very rigid and prone to cracking and shrinkage, it is necessary to avoid using it on a large surface and instead apply arcs on the yin and yang corners.
Third, for leak-stopping products, you need to control the amount of water you add. In addition to adding water according to the amount on the packaging bag, you can also increase it appropriately on this basis, but not too much. Because too much water will more easily lead to the appearance of pores.
There is a lot of confusion and confusion in the leakage plugging products on the market today. Because small manufacturers do not care about defects such as shrinkage and cracking in the later stage, they just mechanically mix relatively low-cost aluminate cement and inorganic powder without adding other additives, resulting in very low costs and full competitiveness in the market. Some waterproof products add a variety of imported organic additives while ensuring quality, resulting in high costs.
Here, Anders Waterproofing calls on household owners to supervise the standardization of workers’ use of leak-stopping products during renovation. The workers should be responsible for the quality and safety of the household head.
