In the past, most building developers and owners thought waterproofing to be an activity that merely was a part of the checklist. The same, there- fore could not get the required focus it deserved. While developers were more liberal in spending for aesthetic and interiors of the building, the core essentials like waterproofing took a step back. However, things have changed to- day and people have realized that without sound waterproofing all expenses on interiors and facades will go waste. This shift in focus is now the reason for growth in the waterproofing market.
Chennai based Southern Chemicals India Pvt Ltd is an example of one company that has pioneered this growth. It is a 40+ years old specialty chemicals manufacturing and marketing company, focused on providing products and services with the highest levels of quality and customer satisfaction. “Our Sun proof range of construction chemicals will help you build strong, durable and long lasting buildings across various sectors including Residential, Commercial, Infrastructure, Industrial, and many more", says Kartheck Pandiyan, Director - Operations at Southern Chemicals.
