What is Liquid Waterproofing?
Liquid waterproofing refers to a method of creating a seamless and protective waterproof layer on various surfaces using liquid-applied materials. Two commonly used types of liquid waterproofing are PMMA (Polymethyl Methacrylate) and PU (Polyurethane). Both of these materials offer effective waterproofing solutions for a wide range of applications.

PMMA (Polymethyl Methacrylate) Waterproofing
PMMA is a synthetic resin that is often used for liquid waterproofing due to its exceptional durability, flexibility, and fast curing times. It consists of a two-component system: a liquid resin and a catalyst. When these components are mixed, they undergo a chemical reaction that forms a tough, seamless, and waterproof membrane. Some key applications and benefits of PMMA waterproofing include:
Applications
PMMA waterproofing is commonly used for roofing, balconies, terraces, and areas with high foot traffic. It is also suitable for complex shapes and areas with multiple penetrations like pipes and vents.
Benefits
PMMA offers rapid curing times, even in cold temperatures and high humidity. This quick curing allows for faster project completion. PMMA membranes are highly flexible, making them ideal for areas prone to movement. They are also UV-resistant, durable, and can withstand mechanical stress.
Colours and Finishes
PMMA liquid waterproofing systems often come in a wide range of RAL colours, which allows for creative design possibilities. Additionally, they can be applied with various finishes, including slip-resistant textures, providing safety in areas with foot traffic.
PU (Polyurethane) Waterproofing:
Polyurethane is another popular choice for liquid waterproofing due to its flexibility, adhesion, and resistance to chemicals and abrasion. PU waterproofing typically consists of two components: a base resin and an isocyanate curing agent. Once mixed, they react to form a durable waterproof membrane. Here are its applications and benefits:
Applications
PU waterproofing is commonly used for roofs, decks, balconies, and foundations. It is suitable for both new construction and renovation projects. It can be applied to a variety of substrates, including concrete, metal, and wood.
Benefits
PU membranes are known for their excellent adhesion to different surfaces, ensuring a strong bond. They are flexible, which helps them accommodate structural movements. PU waterproofing offers good resistance to chemicals, making it suitable for areas exposed to various environmental conditions.
Colours and Finishes
PU liquid waterproofing systems also come in a range of RAL colours, allowing for aesthetic integration with the surrounding environment. Different finishes are available, including smooth and textured surfaces, catering to both functional and visual needs.
Tailored to your needs
In both PMMA and PU waterproofing systems, the availability of various RAL colours and finishes offers versatility and customisation options. The choice of colour and finish can be important for achieving desired aesthetics, blending with the surroundings, and even enhancing safety through features like slip-resistant textures.
When selecting a liquid waterproofing system, factors such as the specific application, substrate type, expected movement, exposure to UV radiation, and local environmental conditions all play a crucial role. Consulting with professionals who are experienced in liquid waterproofing can help ensure that the right material, colour, and finish are chosen for your specific project needs.
