5 Materials and Methods for Bathroom Waterproofing

5 Materials and Methods for Bathroom Waterproofing


The walls and floor of a bathroom are wet almost all the time, which makes the room and any other rooms adjacent to it or below it susceptible to leakage and water damage much more than in any other scenario. Waterproofing during the construction of a bathroom ensures that you don’t face any issues related to water damage later on. One of the leading construction chemicals manufacturers in India, which specialize in bathroom waterproofing products highlight 5 materials and methods which are usually used in bathroom waterproofing. Have a look:

1.    Water seal Tape –Which is a PVC like tape used to seal fixture/pipes inserts, permanently. It is used during pipe and fixture laying.

2.    Waterproof grout (the mixture of cement concrete with waterproof solution)- A free-flowing, expanding grout. This fills gap between pipe inserts into concrete/ masonry walls and floors. It is non-shrinking and fast setting material providing a long-lasting watertight seal.

3.    Waterproof coat – This is a cement-like polymer based waterproof coating for advanced performance. It is a highly elastic material which usually comes in the pre-measured combination of liquid and powder, and mixed in equal proportions. This waterproof coat is applied to all the areas, especially shower, under sink etc.

4.    Waterproof sealant – An elastic based adhesive acrylic sealant which usually comes in a tube. It is applied to all the edges and corners like sinks and bathtub. Extra sealant is applied to the floor level edges and overhang of windows and balcony because the water usually retains at those places.

5.    Primer – Adds protection after tiling and plastering of surface. A layer of acrylic based primer. Has a dry time of 4-5 hours. Primer fills any small gaps and cracks.

Nitrogen Use in Aerosols

Nitrogen Use in Aerosols                     Introduction An aerosol is any such substance enclosed under pressure and released as a fine spray by the means of a propellant gas. Common examples of aerosol products include deodorant sprays, pesticide sprays, hair sprays, shaving foams and the like. Components of an Aerosol An aerosol formulation mainly consists of two components, namely: (1 the product concentrate, and 2) the propellant. The product concentrate is the actual product, the active ingredient in the aerosol, combined with other additional ingredients and co-solvents which are there to make a stable and efficacious product. The product concentrate can be a solution, suspension, emulsion, semisolid or powder. The propellant is the gas which provides the force to expel the product concentrate from the container and is also responsible for the delivery of the formulation in the proper form (i.e. spray...

Nitrogen Application in Nylon Manufacture

Image
Nitrogen Application in Nylon Manufacture Introduction Nylon is actually a family of synthetic polymers, which can be processed into fibers, films or shapes. It is because of this thermoplastic’s silky property that made it the world’s first commercially successful synthetic thermoplastic polymer. Major uses of nylon include, but are not limited to fabrics, cookware and plastic fasteners and machine parts. Out of these, their application in manufacturing fabrics is the largest. Nylon fibers are woven together to form a silky, lightweight fabric. The reason for the popularity of this fabric is that it is resistant to abrasion, is a quite strong synthetic fiber, resists mildew, available readily and is relatively cheap. Application of Nitrogen in Nylon Manufacture Large-scale nylon manufacturers usually have nitrogen generators or nitrogen plants available on their premises, as nitrogen is an integral part of the production of various types of nylon. Nylon is form...

Application of Oxygen in the Manufacture of Epoxyethane (Engine Coolant/Antifreeze)

Application of Oxygen in the Manufacture of Epoxyethane (Engine Coolant/Antifreeze)                       Introduction Epoxyethane or ethylene oxide (C ₂ H ₄ O), is a colorless gas at room temperature. It is very reactive and is used as an important intermediary in the manufacture of many useful chemicals. But the main usage or application of Epoxyethane is as the main constituent of engine coolants or antifreeze in cars. It is also used to produce other engine coolants/antifreeze like ethylene glycol. What Does An Engine Coolant/Antifreeze Do? Car engines create a great deal of energy by burning petrol or diesel. Some of this energy is used to move the vehicle forward (around one third), the other two-thirds of the energy produced is converted to heat. Around half of this heat goes out of the exhaust, whilst the remaining heat remains inside the engine block. Car engines need a way of cooling down else t...
