01 · Project overview

What is this project?

Pool Waterproofing in Puigcerdà with Polyurea Rayston, 120 square metres in 2022. España – Cataluña. The products on the job are Paintchlore 2K. Catalonia works a roof and a floor hard: sea air on the coast, a sharp swing between afternoon and night, and industrial towns that do not stop for a slow coating.

Specifically, IMPERPOL treated the gresite pool in three layers.

First came Rayston Epoxy 100, then Polyurea Rayston, and finally Paintchlore 2K.

A stone coping runs around the basin, and a steel ladder stands at one end.

Krypton Chemical supplies the resin system. The duty is ordinary and strict: keep water, wear and weather on the right side of the structure, and do it in the details as well as in the open field.

02 · The challenge

What did this structure ask of the system?

A pool stays full. Chlorine, warm water and the steps where people stand all sit on one lining. The failure is almost never in the middle of the floor. It is at an outlet, a corner, or a joint someone left for later.

Pool Waterproofing in Puigcerdà with Polyurea Rayston has to be one film, taken around those details while the material can still do it. Across 120 square metres, a thin spot is not a small repair.

03 · The solution

Which system was trusted here?

The system trusted here is the one named for the job: Paintchlore 2K. It is chosen because it matches the substrate and the exposure, not because every building wants the same can.

The build-up is there to survive the exposure this structure actually has, including the lines where workmanship usually goes thin.

04 · Application

How is the system built?

The products named for Pool Waterproofing in Puigcerdà with Polyurea Rayston are applied as one build-up, details before the field. Outlets, edges and changes of plane are closed first, with the same materials as the main area. A system that changes product at the difficult line is a system with a future peel.

The line is Paintchlore 2K. The deck is dry, the temperature is inside the range that product allows, and the next coat follows while the window is open. Leaving a detail for the following week is how these jobs come back.

On Pool Waterproofing in Puigcerdà with Polyurea Rayston the lining is under water for months at a time. Steps, skimmers and the floor-to-wall corner take the movement and the chlorine together. A joint left in one of those lines will open. The film has to turn the corner at the same build as the floor.

Old tile, where that is the substrate, is a special case. The glaze is a closed face. It is prepared until the resin has something to hold, and every loose tile is out before the primer. Encapsulating a drummy tile is how the lining comes back up in the first season.

Filling waits until the cure the product asks for, not until the pool looks finished. Early water is a soft film and a blister. The outlets are sprayed or rolled into the same film, not collared afterwards.

05 · Results

What does a job like this stand behind?

Pool Waterproofing in Puigcerdà with Polyurea Rayston has one standard. The coating is still doing its job after the building is back in use, at the details as well as in the middle. The area on this job is 120 square metres.

Figures for cure, thickness and strength, where they are given, come from the product data sheets. They are not a test cut out of this building.

What this asks of Pool Waterproofing in Puigcerdà with Polyurea Rayston is workmanship at the difficult line. The open field is the easy part of a resin job. Outlets, edges, penetrations and changes of plane are where thickness goes missing, and where water or wear finds the gap. The same products and the same care belong there, and the cure is allowed to finish before the building goes back into use. That is the difference between a coating that was simply applied and a system that stays in service.
