Does flammable waterproofing work better than water-based waterproofing?
The É de Casa program by Rede Globo, presented by the Zeca Camargo spoke of the risks of waterproofing products. The program was very cool, especially informing the consumer about the risks of using flammable waterproofing materials. There were 3 explosions in 3 months in the state of Rio de Janeiro alone.
However, there was a tremendous misunderstanding by the “expert” named Alan, stating that flammable waterproofing products perform better. This statement is not true, as he is comparing only the solvent of the products and not the technologies available on the market. Infl waterproofingkind are the ones that most stain the fabric, not counting the risks in the application. They usually use benzene and isoparaffin as diluents (highly toxic). A good update is needed, and the aforementioned “waterproofing associations” need to study a little more.
Current Technologies
Today, in addition to the use of paraffins, siloxysanes, silicones, we have NANOTECHNOLOGY available in Brazil. Even fluorinated resins, silicone emulsion resins are also an active ingredient in waterproofing. Efficiency is proportional to the amount of active and not to the solvent that is used. In the case of products based on nanotechnology, they are even more efficient and non-toxic. 
First of all, flammable waterproofing is used to have quick drying and emulsion of the mixture, which mostly use paraffins, silicones.
Secondly: there are high performance non-flammable products: Ecotextil, in addition to being non-flammable, non-toxic and using the most advanced protection technology in the world, has proven performance against various types of PH2 liquids a 12, withstands hot liquids at temperatures above 100º, protects the fabric against UV rays and leaves the surface protected against the proliferation of mites and bacteria, without any risk of staining the fabric or altering the original characteristics. These features NO waterproofing delivered to the market.
There is how to protect your sofa without having any risk in the application. Buy Ecotextil and check this out.
