Bituminous coating waterproofing method involves the application of a specialized bitumen-based coating to the surface of the structure to provide protection against water penetration. Bitumen, a black viscous mixture obtained from petroleum, is a key component in this waterproofing technique. It is modified with various additives and fillers to enhance its waterproofing properties and improve its performance in different environmental conditions.
- Excellent Water Resistance: Bitumen has inherent waterproofing properties, making it highly effective in preventing water penetration through the surface.
- UV Resistance: Bituminous coatings can be formulated to provide protection against UV rays, ensuring the longevity of the waterproofing layer.
- Chemical Resistance: It can provide resistance against certain chemicals, making it suitable for applications where exposure to chemicals is a concern.
