What are the types of new roof waterproofing materials?

Jan 09, 2024

Divided by raw materials: mainly including asphalt, rubber plastics, cement and metal waterproof materials.


Asphalt: including polymer modified asphalt (such as SBS modified asphalt waterproof coating, SBS modified asphalt waterproof membrane, etc.) and traditional asphalt (such as petroleum asphalt paper felt, glass fiber felt asphalt felt, etc.).


Rubber plastics: including polymer modified asphalt (such as water-emulsified neoprene waterproof coating), synthetic polymers (such as polyvinyl chloride waterproofing membrane, chlorinated polyethylene-rubber blend waterproofing membrane, etc.), They have high waterproof elasticity and high tensile strength.


Cement: Including cement waterproof materials (such as water-emulsion waterproof coating, solvent-based waterproof coating, etc.), which can increase the hydrophobicity and impermeability of the wall.


Metal: Including metal waterproof materials (such as polyurethane waterproof coating, acrylic waterproof coating, etc.), which can be used as some panels of buildings for waterproofing.


Divided by form: including rigid foamed polyurethane, biaxially oriented polyvinyl chloride panels, co-extruded sandwich foamed polyvinyl chloride tiles, colored profiled steel panels, thermal insulation and waterproof crawler panels, polycarbonate panels, etc. 


Divided by function: including waterproof materials with multiple functions such as waterproofing, thermal insulation, and decoration. For example, colored profiled steel plates are both decorative and corrosion-resistant, and thermal insulation and waterproof crawler panels have both good waterproof and thermal insulation properties. 


Each of the above types of waterproof materials has its own characteristics and application scenarios, and is suitable for different roof waterproofing needs.
