Dry Waterproofing - protect the premises from moisture

What is a dry mix?

Dry mixes for waterproofing - a compound binders, fillers and additives, as part of which there are special components that enable penetration of the solution into the pores of the brick walls or concrete, creating a protection against moisture room.As a rule, a dry mixture is diluted with water.Rationing occurs according to the instructions on the packaging material.

In the manufacture of dry mixes are used only hydraulic binders and fillers from the rocks with a high density and minimal moisture absorption.The technology of manufacture of such compositions includes the following aspects:

• sand drying and screening;
• dosing of all required components;
• mixing;
• packing of the finished mixture.

Breeding and applied solution should be strictly according to the instructions on the label.If you do not adhere to the manufacturer's instructions, in the future, you can pay for the destruction of concrete or reinforced concrete structure of the building.In addition, work on waterproofing of buildings are considered some of the most dangerous jobs in the construction industry.This is due to the high reliability of the executed works.

Classification dry formulations

Dry mixes for waterproofing divided into two types: the mixture, which are used for the primary method of sealing the buildings, and a mixture of a secondary method.The primary method of sealing - use building envelope made of reinforced concrete or the necessary resistance to moisture.

Secondary method - implementation of additional sealing of the building envelope.For this work uses penetrating, Obmazochnaya, plastering waterproofing.All of these sealing types are used depending on the characteristics of buildings and structures of the material, which must be applied to the solution.

also for waterproofing compositions are divided, depending on the size of the fillers.They are:

• mortar;
• concrete;
• dispersed.

Important!The size of the maximum size of the filler determines the minimum thickness of the sealant layer.

Scope dry mixes

dry mixture to seal surfaces are widely used in the construction and repair of buildings.Compositions typically used for application to concrete, reinforced concrete or stone structure, to avoid further exposure to moisture and other corrosive environments conducive to destruction.

Important!Before purchasing a dry mixture, it is necessary to calculate the number of ready-made solution, you need to cover the surface.

Regardless of the manufacturer and the type of dry mix for sealing, its consumption is on average 2-3 kilograms per square meter of surface.More accurate consumption figure can be obtained by reading the label on the package.

Only the clever use of dry formulations for sealing in compliance with all the recommendations of the manufacturer and the technology ensures you a high-quality and durable waterproofing of the necessary surface.
