Innovative Waterproofing is the Future of Construction: New CIM 500

Posted by Chase Corp Editor on Jul 14, 2022 1:30:00 PM

The global waterproofing membrane market is on the rise. With a focus on infrastructure and housing options, growth prospects in the construction sector continue to rise. Markets (including the United States, China, Brazil, and India) are seeing above-average growth in new building opportunities and restoration projects, resulting in an increased demand for elastomeric and waterproofing membranes and other coating products.   

With rapid growth worldwide, CIM Industries and its selection of waterproofing solutions, namely CIM 500, has started to corner the market with its revolutionary technology. CIM 500 is a two-part cold liquid waterproofing membrane designed to meet the demands of buried or non-UV exposed applications.

Which C.I.M. Waterproofing Membrane Is Right for Your Application?

Posted by Chase Corp Editor on Mar 16, 2022 12:05:49 PM

Chevron raised the standards on cold fluid-applied waterproofing membrane applications when they introduced a urethane coating system for synthetic running tracks in the 1960s. Over several decades, this urethane technology morphed into a waterproof bridge deck membrane, now widely recognized as Chase Industrial Membranes (C.I.M. Industries), the leader in the industrial waterproofing market.

How to Terminate Waterproof Coating Systems

Posted by Maribeth Taylor on Feb 9, 2022 2:27:17 PM

Identifying termination points and properly terminating waterproof coatings are two critical aspects of a waterproofing system’s long-term success. Whether you are applying the coating system to a roof, floor, tank, or fountain; in hot or cold climates; or to concrete, wood, steel, or any other construction materials, correctly terminating the waterproofing system is essential. 

Termination points are areas where the waterproofing membrane stops or is no longer applied.

Comparing Waterproofing Systems: Cold Fluid-Applied Membranes vs. Self-Adhered Sheet Membranes

Posted by Dean Linthicum on Dec 20, 2021 10:06:42 AM

Whether you are in the residential or commercial building industry or in the new construction or building maintenance business space, waterproofing is not something to be overlooked. Waterproofing systems work by creating physical barriers to water. They keep water out of places it doesn’t belong and in places where it does belong.

How to Successfully Apply Cold, Fluid-applied Waterproof Membranes

Posted by Dean Linthicum on Jul 1, 2020 1:15:00 PM

Cold, fluid-applied waterproofing membranes are popular choices in the construction and building industries because of their versatility in areas where traditional sheet waterproofing or hot-applied membranes are not options. Cold, fluid-applied waterproofing membranes can be applied to both vertical and horizontal surfaces and, when installed correctly, should last for many years. Understanding and following the installation guidelines will help ensure the application's success. Cold, fluid-applied waterproofing membranes’ robust physical properties and long-lasting performance are why manufacturers publish application and installation guidelines that must be followed.
