Elastochem introduces Canada's first two-component polyurethane spray waterproof membrane for foundation

Canada's leading manufacturer of polyurethane spray materials, elastochem specialty chemicals, announced on November 28 that hygrothane, Canada's first two-component polyurethane spray waterproof membrane, has been certified Hygrothane is a complete polyurea based membrane product portfolio that can be used under high pressure After curing, it will form a seamless overall waterproof membrane on the underground concrete foundation wall This durable and flexible formula is made of 100% solids, can be used at temperatures below freezing point, and does not contain volatile organic compounds Foundation waterproofing can be a time-consuming and challenging process There is a risk of inconsistent joints in traditional systems, such as peeling, pasting, and film, which can lead to subsequent ponding Other disadvantages include the need for additional coatings, which require further application and curing time At the same time, other liquid formulations are mainly water-based, and they will encounter limitations in weather conditions below freezing point Hygrothane solves these problems by providing a smooth one-step process that eliminates the need for primer and reduces curing time and delay It works below freezing temperatures and is ideal for all seasons and challenging northern areas After spraying, the liquid solidifies to form a film, eliminating the joint or joint, thus solving the most common problem of waterproof failure The formula can be used on irregular surfaces and is very suitable for applications where it is unlikely to be completely covered with film The foundation sprayed with hygrothane can be backfilled within one hour after construction John Volk, general manager of elastochem, said: "in today's market, all new building materials need to do is not only to perform, but also to meet the urgent needs of time critical builders and contractors Hygrothane is a one-stop product portfolio that adapts to climate change in Canada and helps reduce construction progress " Hygrothane was nominated by NRC in 14144-r of CCMC list.
