Summary
Specialized profession that applies coating waterproofing agents to building rooftops, balconies, etc., to form waterproof layers and prevent rainwater infiltration. Handles a series of tasks from substrate preparation to coating application and finishing.
Description
Coating waterproofing workers use coating waterproofing materials such as asphalt resin-based, urethane resin, and modified acrylic resin to form waterproof layers on rooftops, balconies, exterior walls, etc. The work begins with cleaning the substrate and repairing unevenness, applying primer to ensure adhesion. Then, the mixed and stirred waterproofing material is applied in layers using spraying, rollers, or brushes, while managing the specified coating thickness to build up the layers. After a curing period and quality inspection, the work is completed, and they may also be involved in regular inspections and maintenance.
Future Outlook
Stable demand is expected due to the increasing need for building longevity and maintenance management, as well as the diversification of waterproofing technologies. There is potential for the introduction of high-durability, high-performance materials and robotic construction technologies.
