Background
[0002] Waterproofing a room, for example a bathroom, is a time consuming process and would normally take at least five days to complete. As a result, waterproofing is typically an expensive process. Additionally, if the room is not waterproofed properly or if the waterproofing gets damaged during the course of laying the tiles, further time would need to be spent in re-waterproofing the room.

Detailed description
[00261 An embodiment of the present invention relates to a building panel having a waterproof coating comprising polyurea.
[00271 The building panel is a plasterboard. In other embodiments, the panel may be a wallboard, a cement sheet, an insulated panel, or a geotextile. Non-limiting examples of plasterboard include a Gyprock plasterboard, a Gyprock Aqua check plasterboard, supplied by CSR Limited; or Sheetrock wallboard supplied by USG Boral. The plasterboard or wallboard may have a thickness of up to about mm, preferably either about 10mm or about 13mm. Non-limiting examples of cement sheet include a Villaboard@ sheet or the Scyon sheet range supplied by James Hardie Australia Pty Ltd. Non-limiting examples of insulated panels include Thermaroof TR27 panel or the XPS Styrozone insulation panel supplied by Kingspan Group, or the Fletcher® Insulboard panel. An example of the geotextile fabric includes the nonwover geotextile by BIDIM@.
[00281 Prior art techniques for waterproofing a panel (e.g. a plasterboard) involve applying a polyurethane coating to the panel. It would typically take at least a day for the polyurethane coating to cure. The long curing times would prolong the overall building construction time, which would have an impact on the construction cost.
[0029] The present inventor has discovered that these panels (e.g. plasterboard, cement sheet, insulated panels, and geotextiles) can be waterproofed with a coating comprising polyurea, and that waterproofing the panels with polyurea would result in a better product compared to panels that are waterproofed with polyurethane. Compared to polyurethane, polyurea has very fast curing times, has higher strength properties, and is more durable. Once the coating comprising polyurea has been applied to a panel, it could take up to at least about 5 minutes to substantially cure at which point the panel can be exposed to light foot traffic or can be transported without any risk, or with only very low risk, of damaging the coating. The coatings comprising polyurea include coatings that have a gel time of about minutes after being applied, coatings that have a gel time of about 20 seconds, coating that have a gel time of about 10 seconds, and coatings that have a gel time of about 5 seconds. The'gel time'is the time it takes for the coating to gel or become highly viscous that it is no longer workable or able to be handled. The curing time is the time it takes for the coating to substantially harden. The panel may be waterproofed before being delivered to site (i.e. the panel is waterproofed off-site).
[00301 The coating has a Shore A hardness of up to about 100 or a Shore D hardness of up to about 80, preferably a Shore A hardness of between about 70 and about 90 inclusive or a Shore D hardness of between 60 and 70. The coating has an elongation of up to about 700%, preferably between about 300% and about 600% inclusive. The coating has a tensile strength of up to about 30 MPa, preferably between about 10 MPa and about 20 MPa inclusive. The coating preferably has a tear strength of up to about 70kN/m, preferably between about 30 kN/m and about 60 kN/m inclusive.
[00311 The coating may be a polyurea coating or a hybrid-polyurea coating. The hybrid-polyurea coating comprises polyurea mixed with other materials (e.g. with polyurethane or an epoxy). Examples of coatings comprising polyurea include Tufflon D60, Tufflon P90, Tufflon P90AS, Tufflon P80, Tufflon JF90, Elaston W80, Elaston PL75, or Hybron W90 distributed by LiquiMix; Enviro HP1200, Enviro HP1200AC, Enviro HP1200PW, or Enviro HP1600 distributed by Enviro-Systems; or Chemspray 790LP or Silcor 780HI'LP Hybrid distributed by GCP Applied Technologies.
[0032] The building panel preferably has at least one face with the coating comprising polyurea. For example, the panel has a forward face and a rearward face with the coating being provided on the forward face. The coating may also be provided on the rearward face. The coating has a thickness on the panel of up to about 5mm, preferably about 1mm.
[00331 The building panels are preferably waterproofed before being delivered to site. The method of waterproofing the building panel includes:
* arranging one or more boards horizontally, evenly spaced apart from each neighbouring board
and preferably being arranged at an elevation;
• removing any dust, oil, wax, grease or other contaminants from the surface of the board(s);
• drying the board to substantially remove any moisture;
* applying a coating comprising polyurea, using a spray equipment with a consistent dry film
thickness of about 1mm to the face of the board; and
* allowing the coating to substantially cure (e.g. at least about 4 minutes) before moving and transporting the board to site.
[0034] The coating comprising polyurea is a two-part polyurea. The spray equipment used to apply the coating comprising polyurea to the panel may be a HP EXP2 machine supplied by Graco.
[00351 On site, before installing the waterproofed building panel at a section of the building, the section is prepared. The preparation of the building section involves:
* applying a two-part water based hydro-epoxy primer directly to the concrete areas to be
waterproofed (within 2 days after concrete has been poured);
* allowing the primer to substantially cure (at least about 9 hours);
* applying caulking, e.g. polyurethane caulking, to the puddle flanges, concrete set downs, any PVC pipes, and any penetrations through the slab; and
* applying a coating to waterproof the concrete, e.g. a polyurea two-part coating with a spray equipment, with a minimum dry film thickness of about 1.5mm including coating the puddle flange, any PVC pipes, and any penetrations through the slab.
[00361 Once the building section is prepared, the waterproofed building panel is installed.
[00371 Once the waterproofed building panel is installed, any debris, dust, oil, wax, grease or any other contaminates is removed from the surface of the panel. A xylene solvent can be applied to the panel, which would reactivate the polyurea.
[00381 Polyurethane caulking is then applied to all screw holes and any damaged areas within the area. The caulking can be performed using a sausage caulking gun and a broad knife to flatten out or to smoothen the caulking.
[00391 A self-adhesive butynol tape is subsequently applied to all junctions and joins of the building panel including the shower mixer, outlets and any penetrations through the building panel.
[0040] A polyurethane liquid is then applied, using a roller for example, to a dry thickness of about Inmm to the building panel. The polyurethane liquid is also applied to all polyurethane caulking and butynol self-adhesive tape.
[0041] An abrasive material is then applied into the top coat with a consistent coverage to provide tile adhesion. The abrasive material may comprise sand for example.
[00421 The surface can then be tiled in the usual manner.
[00431 While various embodiments of the present invention have been described above, it should be understood that they have been presented by way of example only, and not by way of limitation. It will be apparent to a person skilled in the relevant art that various changes in form and detail can be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Thus, the present invention should not be limited by any of the above described exemplary embodiments.
[0044] Throughout this specification and the claims which follow, unless the context requires otherwise, the word "comprise", and variations such as "comprises" and "comprising", will be understood to imply the inclusion of a stated integer or step or group of integers or steps but not the exclusion of any other integer or step or group of integers or steps.
