Sbr Instead Of Tanking?

[Just Rizzle]

if sbr isn't a tanking product why do sovereign chemicals use it. watched a guy tank out a basement with it. when they make it in a cement slurry.
it is a primer sealer . so I would suspect it is used in most tanking products

Using it IN tanking products, isn't the same as using it AS a tanking product tho Ray is it mate.
Any two compounds/liquids mixed together automatically changes its chemical composition.
PVA is a prime example.
No pun intended! Haha tempting tho!

majority of tanking products are 90% sbr 10% paste I am lead to believe.

pva is not the same as SBR

Haha no I know Ray, my point was when a substrate is primed with PVA and u apply adhesive, which contains moisture (water) the PVA becomes live again.
Hence the mixing of the two changes its composition.
That's all I meant.

yes we know that pva re emulsifies
my point is styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) doesn't emulsify when it comes in contact with water and becomes water resistant when dry so is used extensively in tanking products 2 or 3 coats on a wall would probably make that wall weter proof. will do a little experiment tomorrow and see what happens.

I think it might work

No more ply say to prim with two coats of SBR to make there boards waterproof.
However, nothing like this on the Hardie board instruction.

thank you Antonio another man thinking outside of the box

Even if sbr was waterproof, which I'm not convinced it is, there's still the issue of taping corners and joints and I'm not sure I'd want to trust sbr and silicone versus a proper tanking set up.
