Currently, there are more varieties of waterproofing agents sold in the Chinese market, there are domestic and imported. These different brands of waterproofing agent in the quality and price varies, the difference is large.
Some foreign brands spend more money, but may not be able to achieve good waterproofing, anti-fouling effect. And some domestic brands of waterproofing agent can not say that because it is domestic goods, it is waterproof, antifouling effect is not as good as the foreign waterproofing agent products. In the concept of choosing waterproofing products, users must not focus on foreign and light domestic. Do not because of the domestic production and use of waterproofing agent later than abroad, and wrongly believe that we are not as good as foreign technology in this area. In how to choose the right brand of waterproofing agent, the following is my humble opinion for your reference.
1, from the practical point of view. As long as the domestic brand of waterproofing agent can provide the relevant authority (preferably the National Building Materials Board) identification and certification of the waterproofing effect of the inspection report, and the inspection effect is not less than or slightly lower than similar foreign products, the best preferred domestic brands. Domestic brands have an advantage in price, and easy to buy, product quality disputes are better negotiated, the product provider's technical support and after-sales service can keep up.
2, from price considerations. At present, the price of domestic waterproofing agent varies greatly, if you think the price is high is good waterproofing effect and choose a high-priced waterproofing agent, then the cost of waterproofing agent per unit area will be too high, the profits of enterprises are relatively low. Therefore, the choice of waterproofing agent, should take into account the price and effect of the relationship between the two.
3, from the concept of environmental protection. The market now sells waterproofing agents are environmentally friendly and non-environmentally friendly two. In the selection of waterproofing agents to take into account whether the selected waterproofing agent on the environment, the operator, the use of people harmful. Environmentally friendly water repellents do not pollute the environment, the operator will not produce side effects, not to mention harming the health of personnel. Non-environmentally friendly waterproofing agent has a certain irritating odor, some even have a particularly strong irritating odor, the use of accidental ingestion, will cause lung damage, serious respiratory distress. Exposure to excessive aerosol of such water repellents can cause skin allergies, dry and cracked skin, throat discomfort, causing breathing difficulties and dizziness. Non-environmentally friendly water repellent residual liquid can not be dumped into the sewer, otherwise it will have some impact on the environment.
4、Select from the surface type of stone products. To choose the appropriate waterproofing agent according to the type of stone surface to be treated. If it is a glossy marble, then choose the waterproofing agent suitable for processing glossy marble, sandstone type stone, then choose the waterproofing agent suitable for sandstone type, matte surface of the stone then choose the waterproofing agent suitable for matte surface type.
5, choose from the feasibility of operation. Choose to brush waterproofing agent occupies less space is appropriate, because many factories and construction sites do not have enough space to use as a place to deal with waterproofing agent. Waterproofing agent can quickly penetrate, without too much time to dry. The operation method is simple and fast.
6, as far as possible, choose to upgrade the new products. At present, the rapid development of the stone chemical industry, many new, better performance of waterproofing agents continue to be born. If the new product price performance ratio is more advantageous, when choosing a waterproofing agent try to consider choosing a new product.
