What is the difference between waterproof coatings or waterproof pool liners used in swimming pool waterproofing or engineering waterproofing? What are their respective strengths and weaknesses?
Chayo will answer for you.
Due to differences in the material composition and appearance of waterproof pool liners and waterproof coatings, the characteristics, construction techniques, applicable areas, and application environments of the materials vary.
Chayo PVC Pool Liner
Advantages:
Chayo waterproof pool liner – easy to construct, short construction period, no need for maintenance after forming, not affected by temperature, and with low environmental pollution. The layer thickness is easy to control according to design requirements, with accurate material calculation and convenient construction site management. It is not easy to cut corners and materials, and the layer thickness is uniform. It can effectively overcome the stress of the base layer when laid in the air (maintain the integrity of the waterproof layer when large cracks occur in the base layer).
Waterproof coating – any complex base layer can be made into a continuous and integral waterproof layer; The equipment is simple and the construction technology is easy to master. The waterproof layer of the coating has a 100% bonding surface with the base layer (except for the use of reinforcement layer empty laying method in areas such as cracks and nodes). The leakage of the waterproof layer of the coating within its service life is mostly caused by the crack width of the base layer exceeding the extension range of the waterproof coating. The cause and location of the leakage are easily discovered, and the warranty is very convenient. As long as a small amount of waterproof material is used to repair the cracks and damaged areas, it is sufficient. High quality waterproof coatings can achieve success in waterproofing the backwater surface. Some waterproof coatings can be applied on damp base layers and form a waterproof layer.
Disadvantages:
Waterproof pool liner – it needs to be cut according to the shape of the waterproof base layer. For complex shaped base layers, multiple pieces need to be spliced, and the bonding degree at the overlapping points of the waterproof pool liner is relatively high. However, the current construction technology is hot melt welding, which is not a difficult problem for professional construction workers.
Waterproof coating – The coating requires a certain amount of time for physical and chemical reactions to solidify before forming a waterproof layer; Some waterproof coatings release harmful gases during the curing process, which are harmful to human health. Some waterproof coatings require multiple coats of paint to complete a waterproof layer, with a certain interval between each coat, so the final completion of the waterproof layer takes a longer time;
In the construction process of waterproof coatings, on-site management is very important. Cutting corners and shoddy production can be exploited in the case of management negligence; The thickness of the waterproof layer of the coating is determined by the number of times it is applied during construction. In addition to the number of times it is applied, the solid content of the coating itself is the determining factor of the film thickness.
In summary, everyone is familiar with the difference between the two mentioned above. The most important thing is that the lifespan of the waterproof pool liner can reach 10-15 years, and it is non-toxic and environmentally friendly. The waterproof coating needs to be replaced every year. Demanders can decide based on their own measurement standards, and we hope that everyone can pursue satisfactory results.
