Walplast Waterproofing Solution HomeSure wShield: Durable & Dependable

Managing Director, Walplast
The construction industry is experiencing a surge in demand for durable, dependable, and eco-friendly waterproofing solutions, driven by the imperative to safeguard structures from water-related damages.

Kaushal Mehta, Managing Director, Walplast

Water, with its formidable force, poses a considerable threat to buildings, as it can cause mould, structural harm, and undermine the integrity of the construction materials. To counter these risks and ensure a sustained lifespan of structures, waterproofing chemicals have become indispensable in the construction sector.

According to Mordor Intelligence, the India Waterproofing Solutions Market is projected to reach 1.81 billion USD by 2030, with a remarkable CAGR of 7.44% during the forecast period (2024-2030). This growth is propelled by innovative trends that are reshaping the global landscape of waterproofing materials and technologies.

In the complex process of construction, every material and technique play a vital role in reinforcing a building’s strength and lifespan. Waterproofing chemicals may operate behind the scenes, but their role is fundamental, serving as a vital shield against moisture. Walplast, a leading manufacturer of building and construction materials, offers innovative waterproofing products like HomeSure wShield characterized by the "Advanced C3R formula", offering Corrosion Resistance, Crack Resistance and Concrete Repair. These products respond to homeowners' concerns, promising "No Tension Homes" that are stress-free and long-lasting.

Waterproofing Benefits

Durability: Waterproofing extends the life of construction materials by shielding them from the corrosive and eroding effects of water. This is crucial for maintaining the strength and stability of a building over time.

Cost Efficiency: While initial application incurs a cost, the investment in waterproofing chemicals is recovered manifold through the reduced need for frequent repairs and replacements caused by water damage.

Healthier Living Spaces: By preventing moisture penetration, waterproofing chemicals also thwart the growth of mould and mildew, ensuring a healthier living environment for occupants.

Peace of Mind: The versatile application of waterproofing chemicals from the foundation to the roof provides a comprehensive solution for moisture protection, giving peace of mind to the occupants. Knowing that every part of a building is shielded against water damage allows property owners, builders and residents to enjoy a sense of security and comfort.

Waterproofing Essentials: The Backbone of Construction

At the core of Walplast's waterproofing portfolio of solutions are the SBR Latex Compound and the Integral Waterproofing Compound (LWC), each serving distinct yet complementary roles in construction.

SBR: The Super Bonding Repair Waterproofing Champion

SBR, a Styrene-Butadiene Rubber co-polymer-based product, is renowned for its exceptional ability to enhance water resistance, durability and waterproofing characteristics of mortar and concrete. It fortifies structural composition and increases longevity by improving tensile, flexural and compressive strengths.

SBR's versatility is evident in its various applications. It can serve as surface waterproofing, bonding agent for concrete, or repair mortar for overhead application. Its effectiveness in reducing drying and aging shrinkage cracks makes it invaluable for maintaining structural integrity.

LWC: The Integral Waterproofing Maestro

LWC is an integral waterproofing compound used as an additive for cement concrete, mortar and plasters. It enhances concrete cohesion, reduces capillary voids and decreases permeability, thereby improving durability. Notably, its chloride-free composition is crucial for resisting steel corrosion within concrete.

LWC's versatility makes it suitable for waterproofing basements, roofs, water tanks and internal and external plasters. It ensures that structures are impervious to water, providing a reliable barrier against moisture damage.

Making The Right Choice

Choosing between SBR and LWC depends on the specific waterproofing and repair needs of a construction project. SBR is ideal for surface-level applications and repairs, while LWC is mixed into concrete, offering comprehensive waterproofing. Together, they provide complete protection, ensuring that buildings are durable and environmentally conscious.

Conclusion

Waterproofing chemicals are critical in construction for reinforcing structural integrity and extending the longevity of buildings. They offer a formidable defence against moisture, protecting materials from damage and deterioration. For the success and durability of construction projects, the integration of top-notch waterproofing chemicals is essential. Companies like Walplast lead the way in providing innovative solutions, making their products indispensable in modern construction practices.
