The use of bitumen mixtures and resin compounds is the basis for coating waterproofing, which makes it possible to create a moisture-resistant coating on the treated surfaces that is resistant to corrosion, deformation and stress.
Coating waterproofing: purpose, types and operated facilities
The coating waterproofing device is the process of laying liquid bitumen mixtures (most often mastics, emulsions and primers) on surfaces made of various materials in order to create a multilayer protective coating that is resistant to moisture, deformation, destruction and the formation of microorganisms.
There are three main types of formulations used for coating waterproofing:

1. bitumen mixtures that are produced on the basis of building bitumen enriched with various fillers and plasticizing additives, for example, the composition of bitumen insulating mastic;
2. bitumen-polymer mixtures enriched with additives in the form of polymer components. One of the most popular formulations is universal bitumen mastic;
3. cement-polymer mixtures, which are a bitumen composition enriched with polymer components, cement and plasticizers.

Coating waterproofing is most often carried out on the bases of objects that are in constant contact with moisture, groundwater and soil, these include foundations, basements and floor coverings laid in rooms with high humidity levels. In addition, pools and water tanks are also facilities for carrying out coating work, for which coating mastic is excellent.
The choice of composition for coating waterproofing depends on the conditions in which you will have to work. If a building in need of waterproofing has been in operation for a long time and the soil under it has managed to sink, then there is no fundamental difference in the choice of coating material. As for fresh objects, in this case it is recommended to use bitumen polymer compositions, since they are characterized by high elasticity and the ability to maintain working properties even at low temperatures.
Advantages and disadvantages of coating waterproofing
Bitumen coating waterproofing, like any other type of insulation, has significant operational advantages and disadvantages. So, among its advantages should be highlighted:

• the ability to create a high-quality protective coating that does not allow moisture to pass through, does not allow corrosion, is resistant to deformation, and is not afraid of negative weather conditions and temperature fluctuations.;
• adaptability and ease of use;
• the ability to create a multi-layer coating;
• resistance to stress;
• the ability to create an elastic coating;
• versatility of application, as coating waterproofing can be carried out as an independent process or in tandem with other types of waterproofing.;
• affordable price.

As for the disadvantages of the coating waterproofing process, they consist in the fact that this type of insulation is not recommended in areas with a harsh climate, because the components of the composition are susceptible to low temperature fluctuations.
