Knowledge Sharing on Waterproofing QINGLONG K11 Waterproof Slurry
COMMON Mistakes 1: Powder Before Liquid
Result 1: the surrounding bottom of coating cannot be stirred.
Analysis 1: unable to stir evenly.
Methods 1: it should liquid before powder, and stir while adding.
COMMON Mistakes 2: Adding Other Materials In Coating
Example 2: cement, sand, other liquid or powders.
Result 2: waterproof failure, and the waterproof layer falls off.
Analysis 2: totally change the product performance and product ratio, product quality cannot be guaranteed;
Methods 2: follow standard procedure of construction, and not adding other material in coating.
COMMON Mistakes 3: Base Surface Are Not Moist When Applied
Result 3: powdering, concrete holes, weak bonding.
Analysis 3: water volatilization too fast caused powdering.
Methods 3: base surface must be moisture before apply the coating.
COMMON Mistakes 4: Base Surface Are Too Wet
Result 4: powdering and weak waterproofing effect.
Analysis 4: too much water/wet surface leads to the loss of chemicals
Methods 4: base surface should be moisture but not too wet/much water.
COMMON Mistakes 5: Placed Aside After Waterproof Mixing, The Coating Is Too Thick, Add Water And Stir.
Result 5: no adhesion.
Analysis 5: the effective chemical components in the waterproof coating have undergone a chemical reaction; although adding water will change the performance, but it will lead to weak bonding in the later stage.
Methods 5: use as much as you need; finished the coating within 12 hours.
COMMON Mistakes 6: Apply too thick, or pour it on ground and spread out with tool
Result 6: cracking of the waterproof layer。
Analysis 6: because waterproof have a film formation, apply too thick, the inside of waterproof layer not dry yet which causing the inside to shrink and crack.
Methods 6: coating apply thinly with several times.
COMMON Mistakes 7: Proceed To The Next Step When There Is Not Totally Drying
Result 7: the strength of the waterproof layer may not be formed and fall off.
Analysis 7: when the coating is not dry, proceeding to the next process will cause the damage and fall of the waterproof layer.
Methods 7: apply a new coating on top of the other when the previous layer is not sticky to hands.
COMMON Mistakes 8: Mixture Apply With K11Universal and K11 Flexible Waterproof Coating
Result 8: fall-off
Analysis 8: because the K11 flexible waterproof coating is a film-forming type; the K11 universal waterproof is a permeable type. The type of universal cannot penetrate into the flexible type, so the universal type and the flexible type are not firmly combined and fall off.
Methods 8: do not mix with other products with different performance. Recommend to apply with K11 Universal.
