Abstract: By characterizing the surface contact angle, morphology, and element distribution of a film formed by mixing a waterproofing agent and a softening agent, this paper found that the surface contact angle, filmforming uniformity, the content of fluorine and silicon on the surface are related to the application effect of waterproof and softener. This study provides a microscopic interpretation of the decline in application performance when a waterproofing agent and a softening agent are mixed.

Key words: waterproofing; softening; surface contact angle; SEM-EDS
