2. Concrete sealer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_sealer

   They require a dry, clean surface during application to gain adhesion. Topical sealers may alter the coefficient of friction which can make substrates slick when wet – a condition that can be remedied by adding anti-skid materials. Life span is generally 1-5 years, although high-end epoxy/urethane systems can last significantly longer.

3. Basement waterproofing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basement_waterproofing

   Epoxy crack injections are typically used for structural purposes while hydrophobic or hydrophilic polyurethane injections are used to seal cracks to prevent penetration of moisture or water. Concrete is both strong and inexpensive, making it an ideal product in construction. However, concrete is not waterproof.

4. Waterproofing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterproofing

   Masonry walls are built with a damp-proof course to prevent rising damp, and the concrete in foundations needs to be damp-proofed or waterproofed with a liquid coating, basement waterproofing membrane (even under the concrete slab floor where polyethylene sheeting is commonly used), or an additive to the concrete. Within the waterproofing ...

5. Damp proofing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damp_proofing

   DPC visible between concrete foundation and brickwork. Damp proofing is defined by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) as a material that resists the passage of water with no hydrostatic pressure. [1] Waterproof is defined by the ASTM as a treatment that resists the passage of water under pressure. [1]

6. Sealant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sealant

   Sealant is a substance used to block the passage of fluids through openings in materials, [1] a type of mechanical seal. In building construction sealant is sometimes synonymous with caulk (especially if acrylic latex or polyurethane based) [ 2 ] and also serve the purposes of blocking dust, sound and heat transmission.

7. Epoxy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epoxy

   This epoxy is waterproof and capable of curing underwater. The blue-coloured epoxy on the left is still undergoing curing. Epoxy adhesives are a major part of the class of adhesives called "structural adhesives" or "engineering adhesives" (that includes polyurethane, acrylic, cyanoacrylate, and other chemistries.) These high-performance ...
