Concept and principle of waterproof concrete
Waterproof concrete is a concrete with a details waterproofing representative included. Its main feature is to boost the thickness and impermeability of cement by changing the microstructure of concrete and lowering the number and size of capillary pores. Typically, water-proof cement will include water-proof products such as salt silicate and potassium silicate throughout the production process. These products will form a water-insoluble crystal in the hydration response, filling up the pores in the cement and making it waterproof.

Advantages and disadvantages of water resistant cement
Benefits
Practical construction: The use of water-proof cement is similar to that of average concrete, and no extra expert skills are required.
Low cost: Compared to other high-end water-proof products, the cost of water resistant cement is more budget friendly and suitable for massive waterproof tasks.
Good resilience: The water resistant concrete layer, after proper building, can preserve its waterproofness for a long period of time and is difficult to age.
Widely utilized: Appropriate for basements, roof coverings, bathrooms, swimming pools and other scenes.
Downsides
Limitations: Water resistant concrete is primarily used for light to moderate water infiltration troubles. For serious water stress and lasting immersion atmospheres, the impact might not be just as good as specialist water resistant coatings.
High building and construction needs: Construction should be performed purely according to the instructions or else the anticipated effect might not be accomplished.
High upkeep requirements: Once the water resistant layer is damaged, repair is more complex.
