Waterproof on clothing and construction

Waterproof clothing is suitable for use in windy, often humid and wind-resistant weather conditions.

Footwear can also be treated with a variety of methods for water repellency, including but not limited to beeswax, water repellent sprays and mink oil applications.

In construction, the building or structure uses membranes and coatings for waterproofing to protect the integrity of its contents and structure. The waterproofness of the building skin in the building code includes roofing materials and waterproofing materials.

In building construction, roof coverings, siding, and foundations must all be waterproof. Roofing materials are usually waterproof and are designed to prevent water from entering the sloping roof, but under conditions such as ice dams and flat roofs, the roof must be waterproof. Many types of waterproofing membrane systems can be used, including asphalt or tar-containing felt or tar paper for building roofs, other ethylene propylene diene monomer EPDM rubbers, hypolon, polyvinyl chloride, liquid roofs, etc.

The walls are not exposed to static water, and the waterproof membrane used as housing packaging is designed to be porous enough to allow moisture to escape. Moisture resistance is another aspect of waterproofing. The moisture-proof layer of the masonry wall can prevent the rise of moisture. The foundation concrete should be waterproofed with moisture-proof or liquid paint, and an underground waterproof membrane (usually polyethylene sheet) should be used.
