A waterproof sheet which is for application to a site to be waterproofed in order to prevent rainwater infiltration thereinto and retard deteriorations which proceed with time, the waterproof sheet comprising: a base layer that comprises a silicone rubber composition reinforced with reinforcing fibers and that has physical properties including high strength; and a pressure-sensitive silicone adhesive layer that has been formed on one surface of the base layer and that has a low hardness and is highly tacky. The waterproof sheet provided by the present invention less breaks than conventional waterproof sheets because of the reinforcement layer, and can conform to cracks or dislocations occurring in the surfaces to which the waterproof sheet has been applied, due to the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer formed on one surface. Since the waterproof sheet includes silicones as main components and is hence excellent in terms of weatherability, heat resistance, and freeze resistance, this waterproof sheet can retain the function required of waterproof sheets, over a longer period.

Waterproof sheet and waterproofing method including using same

A waterproof sheet comprising a rubber base and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer of silicone resin or gel thereon is applicable to the boundary between an outdoor tank and a concrete pedestal. The waterproof sheet maintains waterproofness over a long period of time and is in long-term service without degradation of physical properties.

Waterproof sheet and waterproof treatment

Provided is a waterproof sheet such that an adhesive layer is formed on a substrate rubber layer and characterized by the substrate rubber layer comprising a silicone rubber having a JIS-A hardness of 15-90, a tensile strength of at least 3 MPa, an elongation of 100-800%, and a crescent tear strength of at least 3 kN/m. The waterproof sheet can be used without a long-term decrease in material properties, and is waterproof in the long-term. In particular, the present invention can be a waterproof sheet able to withstand long-term use by means of stipulating the material properties of the substrate rubber. By means of a method for applying waterproofing to an outdoor tank, it is possible to reliably waterproof the bottom side of the outdoor tank by means of a simple application method.

Waterproof sheet for outdoor tank and method for applying same

When a bridge pier is reinforced or repaired by wrapping a reinforcement around the pier, a waterproof sheet having a sufficient flexibility to attach to and cover the interface between the pier and the reinforcement in a liquid-tight manner is useful. The waterproof sheet is attached to the interface between the pier and the reinforcement to prevent water from penetrating into the interface for thereby preventing the reinforcement from deterioration.

Waterproof sheet for use in bridge pier repair and waterproof working method using the same

The present invention relates to a waterproofing method for an outdoor tank, the waterproofing method being characterized in that the boundary portion between the bottom of the outdoor tank installed on a foundation and the foundation is covered in a liquid tight manner by a waterproof sheet adhered so as to extend from the outdoor tank to the foundation. The present invention can provide a waterproofing method which is effective to prevent the entry of rain water into the boundary portions between the bottoms of outdoor tanks and the foundations, most of the outdoor tanks being large tanks mainly installed in oil refineries or the like. This waterproofing method for an outdoor tank can more reliably waterproof the bottom side of the outdoor tank using the simple method.
