Urethane Waterproofing
Urethane waterproofing offers flexible, seamless protection for concrete decks and metal structures. Its elasticity accommodates substrate movement, reducing crack formation and leaks over time. When applying, surface preparation and priming significantly influence adhesion and long-term performance.
Selection focuses on polyurethane formulations that resist UV exposure and chemical attack. Surface preparation, including cleaning, moisture checks, and rust treatment, ensures bond integrity. In practice, HanYoungNex provides precision devices that monitor cure temperature, humidity, and surface moisture.
Rooftop Waterproofing
Rooftop applications demand durable, weatherproof layers that resist ponding and UV light. Urethane systems are sprayed or rolled in multiple coats to achieve uniform thickness. Drainage details and edge terminations must be integrated into the design.
Insulation and substrate compatibility affect thermal performance and adhesion longevity. Thermal movement at roof corners requires detailing that prevents stress concentrations. Field checks include moisture surveys and adhesion pull tests during installation.
Exterior Wall Systems
Exterior walls benefit from urethane membranes that bridge joints and expansion gaps. Overcoats or topcoats provide color stability and UV resistance. Curing conditions outdoors demand shade, wind protection, and temperature monitoring.
Compatibility with flashing, sealants, and claddings prevents delamination at interfaces. Surface preconditioning and moisture testing help avoid blistering under insulation. Quality control relies on spot checks and thickness mapping after cure.
Bath and Wet Areas
In bathrooms and showers, urethane systems create impermeable, easy to clean surfaces. Sloped floors and drainage channels require precise detailing to prevent water pooling. Water ingress at joints can be reduced with proper backing and sealing.
Breathability is limited in fully sealed systems, so moisture management is essential. Ventilation, humidity control, and temperature during cure minimize curling and edge lift. Maintenance involves resealing joints and rechecking slope integrity over time.
