Waterproofing Agent

Moisture has always been a destructive factor for structures. Water penetration is accompanied by the entry of harmful chemicals and pollution, which significantly reduces the durability of materials.

In concrete surfaces, water can penetrate into cracks and over time, due to expansion and contraction, cause the cracks to expand and destroy the concrete member. To prevent and reduce the destructive effects of moisture, structures must be waterproofed in principled ways.

One of these methods is the use of modern waterproofing materials, which have many advantages over traditional methods.

Sahand Chemical Two-Component Waterproofing

Sahand Chemical two-component waterproofing is one of the most efficient products on the market and is the first choice of many contractors and construction professionals.

This product is obtained from the combination of a powder part and a polymer resin part. Important features of this product include excellent adhesion strength, complete waterproofing with low thickness, long life, suitable flexibility, speed and ease of preparation and execution, and savings in time and cost, and ultimately help to reduce the weight of the structure.

Applications of Two-Component Waterproofing

The use of this product is possible on all vertical and horizontal surfaces, wet environments (with positive hydrostatic pressure) that are in direct contact with water and moisture.

Two-component waterproofing is an efficient product for waterproofing the floor and walls of agricultural, industrial and recreational pools, roof gardens, side walls and roofs, and replaces traditional waterproofing methods such as isogum and bitumen.

This product with more durability and better appearance than isogum and bitumen is used for waterproofing bathrooms and toilets, as well as various ponds and fountains.

Comparison of Sahand Chemical Two-Component Waterproofing with Isogum and Bitumen

One of the advantages of two-component waterproofing is the possibility of direct tiling on it with tile adhesive, which also reduces the weight of the structure. While for tiling on isogum, first rebar mesh and then mortar pouring must be done, which, in addition to being time-consuming and costly, increases the possibility of damage to isogum.

Isogum does not have reliable adhesion, especially to vertical concrete surfaces. This feature is especially problematic in environments with high temperature fluctuations such as saunas and jacuzzis. Two-component waterproofing, due to the presence of a polymer part, establishes a strong bond with its underlying surface and is less affected by temperature stresses and cracks caused by it.

The lifespan of isogum is relatively short; while two-component waterproofing is a cement-based product and if used as an intermediate layer, its durability is equal to the lifespan of the structure.

Another difference between these two is the degree of environmental compatibility and reduction of environmental pollution. During the preparation and execution of isogum and bitumen, we will witness pollution caused by soot.

While the preparation and execution of two-component waterproofing is a cleaner method than traditional methods.
