Structural Protection Challenges
Modern construction faces critical waterproofing challenges that compromise integrity and longevity:
Capillary Water Ingress
Water penetration through micro-pores leads to structural degradation, foundation weakening, and costly structural rehabilitation.
Corrosion & Efflorescence
Reinforcement bar corrosion and salt crystallization reduce structural capacity and compromise aesthetic integrity.
Environmental Health Risks
Damp conditions promote microbial growth, compromising indoor air quality and occupant health.
Visual Evidence of Water Damage
Common water damage patterns in unprotected concrete structures
Critical Structural Impact
Unprotected structures experience accelerated deterioration, with up to 50% reduction in service life, escalating maintenance costs exceeding 300% of initial waterproofing investment, and significant safety liabilities.

Apply liberally with brush, roller, or airless spray. Apply subsequent coats perpendicularly after 60-90 minutes (wet-on-wet application required).
Professional Application Demonstration
Professional application using airless spray equipment for uniform coverage
Critical Application Precautions
- Do not allow first coat to fully dry before applying subsequent coat
- Protect freshly applied surface from precipitation, foot traffic, and abrasion for minimum 24 hours
- Not recommended for continuously submerged applications (swimming pools, water tanks)
- Apply at 10–35°C ambient temperature with relative humidity below 85%
