Basic Informations About Polyurethane Based Waterproofing Materials

Polyurethane, which is one of the most preferred materials in construction sector. Polyurethane based waterproofing materials fulfil needs in different functions such as membrane, coating, mastic and sealant. It is certainly possible that we can meet with polyurethane based waterproofing materials from basement to roof nearly in every part of building.

From this point, we can easily reach the result that polyurethane based waterproofing materials are durable, long-lasting and they provide high performance. Polyurethane waterproofing materials - used in roofs, terraces, balconies- can also serve in different fields. So, in which fields can you use these materials?

For What Purpose Are Polyurethane Based Waterproofing Materials Practiced?

• Polyurethane based waterproofing materials are laid over the materials like wooden, ceramic as the top coat. These materials, not only protect waterproofing system but also prevent dust deposition, protect brightness of surface and provide an aesthetic look.

• Similarly, polyurethane based materials are also used for waterproofing of water tanks. Polyurethane based waterproofing materials used in potable water tanks because of resistant to corrosion, provide durability and harmless to human health.

• Polyrethane materials are suitable used in wet damp floor areas from internally and externally. In this sense, we can observe that these materials are also used as grouting mastic and filler.

• In addition, polyurethane waterproofing materials are used to fill the gaps and cracks formed in the walls or floors of buildings such as tunnels, bridges, concrete wall. Besides, polyurethane based materials used to stop water leaks by reacting with water in the cracks in these structures serve as an injection system.

• On the other hand, it is possible to observe that polyurethane materials are applied on concrete and cement based surfaces as a floor coating material indoors and outdoors.

Advantages of Polyurethane Based Waterproofing Materials

Advantages of polyurethane waterproofing materials for construction sector can be listed as follows:

• Long-term protection,
• High flexibility performance,
• Resistance to UV lights and weather conditions,
• Highly load carrying capacity,
• High resistance to abrasion and impact,
• Resistance to mold and fungus,
• Resistance to freezing temperature,
• Strong adhesion,
• Easy and fast installation,
• Perfect and aesthetic appearance,
• Resistance to corrosion.
