Epoxy Waterproofing Resin In Jharkhand

Epoxy waterproofing resin is a type of synthetic resin system commonly used to protect surfaces from water ingress. It offers strong adhesion, chemical resistance, and durability, making it suitable for industrial, commercial, and residential waterproofing applications.

 Key Features of Epoxy Waterproofing Resin

Excellent Water Resistance

 Creates a seamless, impervious barrier against moisture.

 Ideal for wet areas like bathrooms, basements, balconies, and roofs.

 Strong Adhesion

 Binds well to concrete, metal, wood, and tiles.

 Can be used as a primer or final waterproofing layer.

 Chemical Resistance

 Resists acids, alkalis, solvents, and salts.

 Suitable for industrial settings (e.g., chemical plants or wastewater treatment facilities).

 Durability

 Long-lasting with high abrasion and impact resistance.

 Withstands foot and light vehicular traffic.

 Low Shrinkage

 Cures with minimal contraction, reducing the risk of cracks or delamination.

  Common Applications

Bathrooms and Wet Rooms

 Water Tanks & Reservoirs (potable and non-potable)

 Basements

 Terraces & Roof Decks

 Bridges and Tunnels

 Industrial Flooring

 Swimming Pools (with appropriate formulations)

  Typical Technical Specifications

Property Specification (Approx.)

Base Epoxy resin + hardener

Mixing Ratio 2:1 or 3:1 (resin:hardener)

Pot Life 30–45 minutes (at 25°C)

Curing Time Touch dry in 6–8 hours, full cure in 7 days

Application Temp. Range 10°C to 35°C

Coverage Rate 1–2 m² per kg per coat (depending on surface)

Finish Glossy or semi-gloss (optional texture)

  Application Process

Surface Preparation

 Clean, dry, and free of grease, dust, or contaminants.

 Repair cracks or holes beforehand.

 Priming (if required)

 Apply a thinned epoxy primer to improve bonding.

 Mixing

 Mix resin and hardener thoroughly as per manufacturer’s instructions.

 Application

 Apply using brush, roller, or trowel.

 Usually 2–3 coats are needed for optimal waterproofing.

Allow full curing before exposing to water or heavy loads.

 Pros and Cons

Pros: High performance and long service life

 Chemical and water resistant

 Good adhesion to many substrates

 Cons: UV sensitive (needs a UV-resistant topcoat for exterior use)

 Rigid when cured (less flexible than polyurethane)

 Surface preparation is critical
