The invention discloses a low-cost
ammonia-free waterproof
emulsion as well as a preparation method and an application method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of
cement coatings. Comprising the following steps: mixing and stirring an emulsifier, a
monomer and deionized water to obtain a pre-
emulsion; adding deionized water into the reaction kettle to obtain a kettle bottom material; adding 0.9% of the pre-
emulsion and an initiator a into the kettle bottom material in a stirring state, dropwise adding the rest of the pre-emulsion and the initiator b at the same time after 15 minutes, controlling the pre-emulsion and the initiator b to be dropwise added at the same time, and keeping the temperature after dropwise adding is finished; adding an
oxidizing agent and a
reducing agent to eliminate residual monomers, then adding a neutralizing agent to adjust the pH value, and adding an auxiliary agent; wherein the emulsifier comprises an anionic emulsifier and a nonionic emulsifier in a
mass ratio of (2-3): 1; the monomers comprise
styrene,
butyl acrylate and functional monomers, and the functional monomers are hydroxyethyl
acrylate and beta-acryloyloxypropionic acid. The low-cost
ammonia-free
polymer cement waterproof
coating prepared from the emulsion disclosed by the invention has the advantages of low cost, environmental friendliness, good
constructability and excellent mechanical properties.
