NO ROOM FOR CRACKS

Cracks
Cracks in your walls arent just ugly, they can be
warning signs for very serious problems in your home
too. They can affect the beauty of your walls and
overall foundation of the house. These can be in the
plaster or the structure altogether.
What causes them?
Some cracks are normal and come from the natural
aging process of a home. When it comes to cracks,
horizontal ones are more indicative of trouble. Cracks
due to improper plastering or structural issues are
generally found in load bearing areas.
Why treat them?
Cracks need to be treated because they can allow
water to seep in from outside into the walls and
damage the structure with dampness. Its even more
critical to treat structural cracks because if water
enters them, it can damage the load bearing part,
which can make the entire structure weak.In fact
structural cracks that occur due to incorrect design,
faulty construction or overloading may endanger the
safety of a building altogether so its necessary to
treat them.

TERRACE LEAKAGES
Terrace Leakages
Terrace indeed is the most important part of your
house. A properly constructed and well-maintained
terrace has an effective life of around 30 to 50
years. But leakages play a silent demon to it,
causing damage and deterioration of the overall life
of the roof, thus weakening the integrity of the
structure altogether.
What causes it?
Leakage and seepage can be caused by improper
slop, cogged drainage pipes, cracks and damages
on the terrace slab, resulting in standing water on
the roof which leads to seepage and leakage on
the floor below.
Why treat it?
Dampness damages much more than a buildings
appearance. The simplest and most effective way
to safeguard your roof from water damage is
through regular checks and monitoring. For best
protection, these should be coated with waterproofing coatings otherwise the interiors of your
house may also get affected by it.

Additional Reinforcement for Terrace

Corners and Joints
Terrace corners, parapet walls and other perpendicular joints (as
shown in the picture below) are prone to cracks because of
expansion and contraction of walls due to weather changes and
general vibrations that may affect a building. These cracks then
allow water to seep through them and reach the interior ceilings
causing dampness.
Thus, Roof Tapes come handy as an additional reinforcement to
the Damp Proof films so that theres no leakage from such cracks.

For Damp Proof Coating on

Tiled Terraces
Ti
le
te
rra
ce
Waterproofing a tiled terrace is difficult because of its extra

smooth and glazed finish. Adhesion of any waterproofing coat
to such smooth surface is difficult hence a primer coat is
required to facilitate a better adhesion. Damp Proof coating to
such tiled surface can be done by applying a single coat of
Terrace Tile Primer directly to the tiled surface. This can then be
coated with Damp Proof as per standard application procedure.
13
TERRACE TILE PRIMER
Asian Paints SmartCare Terrace Tile Primer is water based acrylic

primer for terraces having porous and non-porous substrates such as
existing china chips, tiles or old paints, and sealed or burnished
concrete terrace roofs. This is a single component hybrid

INTERIOR DAMPNESS
Interior dampness
The beauty of your house depends upon how
ageless its walls look. But dampness plays a silent
demon and takes away from the elegance of a
properly constructed and beautifully painted wall.
It may cause damage and reduce the overall life of
the walls, thus weakening the integrity of the
structure altogether.
What causes it?
Dampness is caused by leakage from washrooms,
gaps in tiles, improper slop, damp exterior walls
and water collected on the floor in areas where
water table is high.
Why treat it?
Dampness can affect the beauty of your walls and
can further breed bacteria to cause various health
problems during the rainy season. It can also
cause damage to the structure by weakening it.

NO ROOM FOR
WEAK STRUCTURES
Weak Structures
Your home stands on structures that are put
together withcement-concrete, mortar and plaster.
If water is allowed to seep through them, it will
cause dampness, corrosion and further weaken its
compressive strength.Thus, lower the water
permeability; more is the strength of your structure.
What causes them?
During construction, masons tend to increasethe
ratio ofwaterto thecementtheyre applying in
order to get a good workability of the mix. This leads
to reduced strength ofthe structure and causes
shrinkage cracks in the structurewhen thecement
dries out. Water seeps in through these cracks and
furthercauses corrosion ofthereinforcement bars.
Why treat them?
Structures withcrack formation due to drying and
shrinkageweaken very quickly and dont stand the
test of time. Thestrengthof these structures isless
as seepage makes its way through the cracks.

TILING PROBLEMS
Tiling Problems
Laying of tiles using the right method is as
important as the quality of tiles used. If not done
correctly, it leads to problems like cracking, hollow
sounds and dampness issues due to water ingress
through tile joints.
What causes them?
Generally applicators use grey cement to fix tiles
and white cement for filling joints. These dry very
quickly leading to improper application, poor
adhesion and eventually tile cracking. White
cement corrodes away with time, offering no
waterproofing or aesthetic value.
Why treat them?
Improper tile fixing and grouting not only gives
a shabby look but also reduces the life of tiles,
weakening the house structure. Thus, using a
proper Tile Adhesive and Tile Grout is very
important.

GAPS
Gaps
In building construction, the place where two
surfaces meet is called a joint. These surfaces can
be of the same material e.g. joints between two
glass panes or different materials e.g. joints
between walls and doorframes. When a space is
left between these two surfaces, it is called a gap.
What causes them?
In construction, spaces need to be created to fit
window frames, bathroom fittings, doors etc. If the
space created is greater than the actual size of the
fitting, it results in gaps. At times to ensure healthy
construction, gaps are left intentionally. Unlike
cracks, gaps are not a deformation, but if not
treated with an appropriate sealant, they may
eventually cause waterproofing problems.
Why treat them?
If the gaps are not filled/sealed, they will allow
water to pass through and cause waterproofing
issues. If these gaps are filled with cement
putty/POP, theyll end up restricting the movement
of the joint as well as hamper the dcor due to their
tendency to crack. A sealant on the other hand will
hermetically seal the joint and not allows air or
water to pass through. It will also accommodate
the differential expansion and contraction.

Waterproofing Simplified
General FAQs:
1) What is the difference between sealants and adhesives?
An adhesive is a material in liquid or paste form that bonds two substrates together.
The primary property desired from an adhesive is superior bonding strength.
A sealant is a material in paste form that is flexible or elastic in nature and the
primary property desired from a sealant is to seal the joints between
two dissimilar substrates hermetically. Hermetic means water and air
is not allowed to pass through the joint. Sealants have a high MAF
(movement accommodation factor).
2) What is Movement Accommodation Factor (MAF)?
Movement accommodation factor is the capability of the sealant
to accommodate expansion and contraction movements in the
joint. E.g. MAF - +/- 25% means that when a joint of 1 inch width expands +25%,
its width becomes 1.25 inches & when it contracts -25%, its width becomes 0.75
inches.
3) What are the different grades of cement?
Types:
OPC - Ordinary Portland Cement-Grey & White
PPC - Portland Pozzolona Cement-Grey (cement with fly ash)
HAC - High Alumina Cement (rapid setting cement)
SRC - Sulphate Resistant Cement (construction in marine or coastal areas that have
contact with salt water).
Grades: 33-Compressive strength of 33 N/Sq.mm or 330 Kg/Sq.cm after curing for
28 days in water. Similarly for 43 & 53 grades.
4) Can any water be used in concreting?
No, water must be fit for drinking. Water must be free of salts, suspended solids,
oils and fats. IS 456-1978 provides the requirement of the water to be used.
5) What is water permeability?

Water permeability is the rate of flow of fluid through a given substrate per unit area
per unit time.
6) What is the difference between a Neutral and Acetoxy cured Silicone Sealant?
Acetoxy silicone sealant reacts with moisture in the air releasing acetic acid, which
has pungent odor and may corrode metal. It also affects the adhesion to highly
alkaline surfaces. Neutral silicone sealant releases alcohol, which reacts with
moisture in the air and does not have bad odor and gives excellent adhesion with
alkaline and metallic surfaces.
7) Can Silicone Sealants be painted over?
Silicone sealants cannot be painted over. Acrylic sealants can be used for joints
that need to be painted.
8) Can AkrylMax be used for applications permanently under water?
No. While AkrylMax has waterproofing capability it is not suitable for permanent
underwater exposure.
9) When should I use AkrylMax and when should I use UnyverSeal?
Whenever there is a need to paint over the joints, AkrylMax should be used.
Whenever there is a requirement for high MAF between any dissimilar joints,
UnyverSeal should be used.
10) Can UnyverSeal be used in Aquariums / Fish Tanks?
No. UnyverSeal is Anti-Fungal and is ISO 846 certified for the same and hence
should not be used in aquariums and tanks.
11) What happens if the recommended dosage of Vitalia is exceeded?
All the properties of Vitalia remain the same even at double the dosage. In fact the
workability increases.
65
12) What are the typical causes of movement?

Typical causes of movement are linear expansion, properties of construction
materials, wind pressures, settlement in foundation, weathering, vibrations, loads,
faulty construction practices, etc.
13) What is hydrostatic pressure (HPR)?
Hydrostatic pressure is the pressure applied by a column of water on the building
structure. In waterproofing language, this pressure is classified as positive side and
negative side hydrostatic pressure. Pressure applied by water on the structure while
trying to penetrate it, is positive side hydrostatic pressure. Pressure applied by
water on the structure while trying to come out of the structure is negative side
hydrostatic pressure.
14) What is the difference between positive side waterproofing and negative side
waterproofing?
Positive side waterproofing: Applying waterproofing material to the side of a
structural element subjected to positive side hydrostatic pressure. More often than
not, it entails stopping the source of water and not allowing water to enter the
structure.
Negative side waterproofing: Applying waterproofing to the side of a structural
element opposite the one subjected to negative side hydrostatic pressure. Mostly,
this is done on interior walls and is meant to block the water from coming out and
causing dampness-related problems on the walls.
15) What is carbonation and anti-carbonation coating?
Carbonation is the formation of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) by a chemical reaction
in the concrete. When these reactions take place the pH-value will start falling. The
normal pH-value of concrete is above 13 and the pH-value of fully carbonated
concrete is below 9. Once the carbonation process reaches the reinforcement rods,
and the pH-value drops beneath 13, corrosion will initiate. The formation of lime in
the substrate also causes the structure to weaken over a period of time.
Anti-carbonation paint forms an impermeable coating and does not allow the
ingress of carbon dioxide and chloride ions into the substrate. Thus, they protect
the structure from the effects of carbonation and ensure its longer life.
16) What is forced coverage?

Forced coverage is enforcing the usage of exact quantity of material for a
specifically designated area. Normally forced coverage is achieved by marking the
area to be painted, calculating the area, ascertaining the material thatll be needed
and finally ensuring that the entire quantity is used up only for that area. In the area
of waterproofing, the application procedure is as important as the product itself for
optimum performance. Achieving the recommended forced coverage is therefore,
imperative.
17) What is shrinkage in cracks?
When a crack is treated using a crack-filling compound, normally an indentation is
observed in the treated area due to evaporation of water. Hence, cracks normally
require multiple coats for bringing them level with the surface. Lesser the solid
content in the crack-filler, greater will be the shrinkage.
18) What is breathability?
Breathability is the ability of the coating to allow the passage of water vapor.
A breathable coating resists liquid water from passing through but allows water
vapor to pass. A non-breathable film results in pressure getting accumulated on the
surface due to water vapor and may eventually lead to the paint giving way and
leading to blistering or bubbling.
19) What is the meaning of the unit bar?
Bar is the unit of pressure. One bar implies the pressure that will be applied on a 1
sq.cm area by a water column of 10 meter height.
20) What is the difference between damp proofing and waterproofing?
Waterproofing is defined as the treatment of a structure or surface to prevent the
passage of water under hydrostatic pressure. Damp proofing is defined as the
treatment of a structure or surface to resist the passage of water in absence of
hydrostatic pressure. Damp proofing is a temporary solution whereas waterproofing
is a long-term solution.
67
21) What is efflorescence?

Efflorescence occurs on masonry construction when water moving through a wall
or other structure, due to vapor transmission or hydraulic pressure brings salts to
the surface. As the water evaporates, it leaves the salt behind, which forms a white,
fluffy deposit that can normally be brushed off. The resulting white deposits are
referred to as 'efflorescence'. Efflorescence is also referred to as 'salt petering' or
'lime blooming'. It is not a structural, but rather, an aesthetic concern and is
normally harmless.
22) How can Efflorescence be treated?
Wash the affected surface with 10% diluted hydrochloric acid (HCl) up to a radius of
1.5 - 2 sq.ft. around the affected area. Leave the diluted acid onto the surface for 15
- 20 minutes and thereafter, wash the surface with water. Once the surface has fully
dried, apply SmartCare Damp Block as per the recommended application
procedure. SmartCare Damp Block can only be used for walls affected with
moderate efflorescence after treating the affected area with acid as explained
above. Direct application of SmartCare Damp Block on efflorescence is not
advised.
23) While waterproofing, why is it recommended to cover an area beyond the
affected portion?
Water generally finds the path of least resistance through the substrate and affects
the topcoat of paint in the form of paint peeling or damp patches. So, when only the
affected area is blocked with an anti-damp coat, the water will try and find the next
available path to reach the surface and start affecting the portion of the wall
immediately next to the treated area. Hence, it is recommended that when treating
an affected area with Damp Block, one should mark an area of 2 ft. beyond, on all
sides for Damp Block application.
24) Why is it recommended to envelop the entire terrace with Damp Proof instead
of just treating the affected portion?
Since more often than not, it is difficult to identify the entry point or source of water
due to which the walls on the interiors get affected, by enveloping the entire terrace
with Damp Proof, we ensure that all the entry points are blocked and water cannot
penetrate into the substrate.
25) What is the crystalline technology in the new and improved Damp Block?
The conventional concrete matrix has a number of micro cracks, pores and capillary
tracts through which water enters the concrete.
The special ingredients in Damp Block react with water and elements like calcium
hydroxide and aluminium to form insoluble crystals. These crystals fill the voids and
cracks and block the passage of water, thus making the concrete waterproof.
Normally, these crystals lie dormant but when water reappears, the crystalline growth
is resumed, thus filling up newly formed pores. Though these crystals block water,
they are breathable enough to allow water vapor to pass through, thus preventing
vapor pressure buildup. With this advanced crystalline technology, Damp Block offers
the best-in-class negative side waterproofing for interior dampness problems.
26) How is SmartCare Damp Proof better than conventional waterproofing
methods like Brick Bat Coba and Bituminous Coatings?
Traditional terrace waterproofing methods like Brick Bat Coba add unnecessary load,
damage the structure and are expensive. Bituminous coatings on the other hand are
tedious to apply and not the most durable. Both, Brick Bat and Bituminous restrict
the use of terrace due to excessive heat and give poor insulation properties. Damp
Proof is based on the latest liquid applied elastomeric membrane technology which is
most advanced for terrace waterproofing. It is easy to apply, durable and has recron
fiber which allows the accessibility to terrace even with moderate foot traffic. It is
also the most cost effective in comparison to traditional methods.
27) What are Adhesives?
Adhesives are polymer and cement based mixtures used for application of tiles and
natural stones (marble, granite etc.).
28) Why are Adhesives better than traditional/ conventional cement-sand mix?
Quality Assurance: Unlike the Cement-Sand mix in which there is no control over the
quality of material used and the ratio in which they are manually mixed, SmartCare
Tile Adhesives are factory-manufactured using pre-mixed cement, sand and special
additives.
100% Contact:A Cement-Sand mix is applied at the back of tiles while Adhesives are
applied to the surface (on which tiles are to be fixed) directly using notched trowels.
The quality of the material and the procedure of application ensures that there is
100% contact between the Tile and the substrate, resulting in proper fixing.
69
Durability:Tiles fixed with Adhesives are much more durable because adhesives offer
high bond and shear strength, low water absorption and have good shock resistance.
Labor And Time:Fixing of tiles using Adhesives is much quicker and less labor
intensive than using cement-sand. For example:
1. Tiles fixed using adhesives require no pre-soaking or wet curing.
2. A greater quantity of adhesives can me mixed at the beginning itself unlike
cement-sand where the applicator has to constantly re-make smaller mixes because
the material dries up too quickly.
Aesthetics:Tile fixing using adhesives can be done from any corner preventing
inappropriate cutting of tiles for better aesthetics. A tile once applied using adhesives
can also be adjusted for a few minutes post fixing, unlike cement-sand where it sets
quickly.
Tile on Tile Application:Only an Adhesive formulated exclusively for application of
tiles on existing tiles is suited for this purpose. Cement-Sand mixes cannot be used
for tile on tile application.
28) What type of water should be used for mixing with the Adhesives?
Normal potable tap water should be used for mixing of tile adhesives.
29) What to do in case of Tile-on-Tile Application when an existing Tile cannot be
completely repaired?
If it is just the replacement of a single tile area then that area can be leveled with the
tile adhesive itself. However, if there are many pot holes of uneven size and shape,
then they need to be covered with polymer modified mortar followed by tile fixing
with the tile adhesive.
30) What to do in case of Tile-on-Tile Application when the existing Tile is glossy?
If the gloss is too high then the tile needs to be roughened by means of a mechanical
grinder and then the area needs to be washed with water to remove loose dust
particles, prior to adhesive application.
31) For fixing of Marbles, should the grey cement based adhesives be used or the
white cement based Glass Tile Adhesive?
Grey cement based adhesives can be used for fixing marbles on horizontal surfaces,
however due to their grey colour, grey stains might appear on the marble surface and
hence it is advisable to use the white cement based Glass Tile Adhesive.
32) Can Tile Adhesive for Tile-on-Tile Application be a substitute for Tile Adhesive
for Normal Application?
Yes it can, but please keep in mind that it is also more expensive.
33) Why are Grouts better than traditional/ conventional white cement?
Excellent Adhesion:Grouts are sustainable and durable up to the life of the tile.
Joint Filling Ability:Depending on the type of Asian Paints SmartCare Tile Grout
used, joints up to 5mm or 10mm can be easily filled (as a healthy construction practice
a gap of at least 1.5 to 2mm should always be left between tiles.
Waterproof:Unlike ordinary white cement, Asian Paints SmartCare Tile Grouts are
impervious ensuring excellent water resistance.
Easy to Clean:Compared to white cement, which is easily stained, tile grouts are
easy to clean.
Low Shrinkage:Tile grouts offer low shrinkage compared to conventional white
cement.
Aesthetics:Asian Paints SmartCare Tile Grouts are available in multiple shades while
white cement can at most be manually mixed with powdered colorants. The mixing and
shade in the latter may or may not be proper.
34) What Tile Grouts are offered by Asian Paints?
Asian Paints SmartCare offers 2 tile grouts, specifically designed for the Indian market:
1. Tile Grout Cement Based: Available in 7 factory made shades in powder form.
It can be used for joints up to 5mm
2. Tile Grout Epoxy Based: Available in 26 shades (that can be tinted using Asian
Paints Dealer Tinting System Colour World), this is a 2 component system consisting
of a Tintable Base and Hardener that can be used for joints up to 10mm.
35) What is the difference between Cement Based and Epoxy Based grout? Is the
Epoxy Based grout better?
Asian Paints SmartCare Tile Grout Epoxy Based is apremium 2 component epoxy
resin basedproduct that, in addition to having all the features of the Cement based
grout, also has the following advantages:
1.Number of Shades:26 shades that can be tinted using the DTS.
2.Joint Filling Ability:Up to 10mm.
3.Chemical Resistance:Epoxy based grout offers excellent chemical resistance
making it ideal for areas, which are prone to high chemical impact like industries,
swimming pools etc.
4.Areas of Use:In addition to normal usage, Epoxy Based grout is specifically suited
for areas that require a hygienic and sterile condition like hospitals, kitchens, food
industry etc.
