How to Stop water Seepage?

Image
  Stop seepage from External Walls, Bathroom, Kitchen, Terrace, Windows etc. . Problem: Leakage from External Walls of the building Observation : Rainwater ( Water leakage) entering inside house through walls. Analysis : Rain water coming in through external walls due to cracks developed on walls. These cracks are developed due to expansion/ contraction of civil structure and micro movements. Action Plan : Make v- groove and expand the cracks using grinder or manual tools. Clean the crackline/ groove, apply  Supex PU 25  sealant to cover the cracks completely, excess sealant to be tooled away. After curing ( drying of sealant, 2-3 hrs) paint the crack filled area. Supex PU 25 is a polyurethane sealant with exceptional elongation, gap filling and tensile strength properties. It is also used to seal expansion joints, bond building material.   Seepage from Walls adjacent to bathroom Observation : Wetness or dampness on external side of bathroom walls. Analysis : Water leakage from tiles j

Advantages of Adhesive Technology

Types of adhesive Adhesive, in India, is primarily  classified based on their curing mechanisms and chemistry. Adhesives classification based on curing mechanism Water based adhesives – cure ( dry ) when water evaporates  from the adhesive. Eg: Fevicol white glue used  for plywood bonding in interior furnitures Solvent based adhesives  – cure ( dry ) when solvent evaporates  from the adhesive. Eg-rubber adhesive used for type puncture  repair, shoe repair. Non curing adhesives  : Eg: butyl sealant for bonding car door fabric to metal body. Reactive adhesives – cures when it reacts due to some external factor( eg- UV curing glue) and chnages phase from liquid to solid. Eg: 2 part araldite cures after expocy and hardener are mixed together. Based  on chemistry Acrylic adhesives  – Generally 2 part adhesive system for structural bonding. Anaerobic adhesives  – one part adhesive used for threadlocking, threadsealing, flange sealing, bonding cylindrical assemblies. Used extensively in manuf
