Cold-applied liquid compounds. This category of material comprises a number of different products in the market. They consist of emulsions and solutions of (a) various resins or elastomers such as polyurethanes, silicones, acrylics, etc., and (b) bitumens and modified bitumens. The material left after the evaporation of volatiles (water or organic solvents) forms the waterproofing layer. Their surface coatings may contain white pigment or aluminum flakes or they may be vinyl films for protection from solar radiation. These liquids are generally applied by spraying or with rollers. The emulsions cure slowly at low temperatures and they cannot be applied below water's freezing temperature. 3, record 2, English, - cold%20process%20adhesive

Composés liquides appliqués à froid. Cette catégorie de matériaux englobe un certain nombre de produits sur le marché. Ils sont composés d'émulsions et de solutions a) de résines diverses ou élastomères comme les polyuréthannes, les silicones, les acryliques, etc. et b) de bitumes ou de bitumes modifiés. La matière laissée après évaporation des volatiles (eau ou solvants organiques) forme la couche d'imperméabilisation. Leurs enduits superficiels peuvent contenir un pigment blanc ou des flocons d'aluminium, ou il peut s'agir de pellicules de vinyle pour la protection contre le rayonnement solaire. Ces liquides sont généralement appliqués par pulvérisation ou à l'aide de rouleaux. Les émulsions durcissent lentement à basse température et ne peuvent être appliquées au-dessous du point de congélation de l'eau. 3, record 2, French, - adh%C3%A9sif%20pour%20application%20%C3%A0%20froid

Enduits d'application à froid. [...] L'application à froid a l'avantage de se faire sans chaudière; les produits sont alors appliqués au moyen d'un pistolet, d'une truelle ou d'un rouleau. Leur prise et leur séchage exigent du temps mais par contre, leur souplesse d'emploi est un atout pour les travaux de réparation ou de réfection. 4, record 2, French, - adh%C3%A9sif%20pour%20application%20%C3%A0%20froid
