How does a waterproofing agent work ? |
|
Answer» Wettability of a surface, and thus its propensity for penetration of water, depends upon the affinity between the water and the surface. A liquid wets a surface when its contact angle with the surface is acute. A waterproofing coating has angle of contact obtuse and thus makes the surface hydrophobic. |
