Measures to delay aging can be approached from two angles: First, by directly incorporating anti-aging agents into the raw materials to counteract external factors like light, oxygen, and heat—such as adding适量 of antioxidants, light stabilizers, and dark carbon black. For instance, one company introduced anti-aging additives into polypropylene, and after four years of direct exposure to sunlight, the material retained only 25% of its original strength. In contrast, without these additives, the same material would lose nearly all of its strength after just 2 to 3 months of sunlight exposure. Second, protective measures can be implemented during construction—for example, reducing the amount of time materials are exposed to sunlight or covering them with earth (with a recommended depth of at least 30 cm) or submerging them in deep water. It features excellent impermeability, high barrier properties, superior puncture resistance, no chemical contamination, and outstanding durability against acids, alkalis, and a wide range of chemicals. Additionally, it boasts exceptional elongation, wear resistance, dimensional stability, strong adhesion, and ease of installation. Commonly referred to as geomembranes or waterproofing sheets, these materials are typically categorized based on thickness: membranes thicker than or equal to 0.8 mm are called "waterproofing sheets," while those thinner than 0.8 mm are classified as "geomembranes." Made from high-molecular polymers, these versatile materials serve as effective barriers against seepage and come in two main types: homogeneous waterproofing sheets and composite waterproofing sheets.

Urban landfilling, coal ash dam management, road construction, railway projects, drainage systems, water conservancy, tunneling, seepage control for dikes, dams, and sluices, impermeable lining for reservoirs, channels for water, oil, and liquid transport, seepage barriers in solid waste disposal sites, rooftop waterproofing, moisture-proofing for building basements, underground warehouses, and parking garages, pile-membrane cofferdams, land reclamation from the sea, and port engineering projects—among others.

The aging resistance of Kang is a problem we’ve been consistently working to address—not that EVA has a short lifespan, but rather our goal is to extend the usable life of Yunnan Pu'er EVA waterproof boards as much as possible under feasible conditions, thereby enhancing their cost-effectiveness.

1. During tunnel construction, waterproofing is a critically important step, and the selection of appropriate waterproofing materials is equally vital. Typically, waterproof boards are used as the primary material in tunnels—among these, Yunnan Pu'er EVA waterproof boards are the most commonly chosen. EVA-based waterproof boards offer excellent water resistance, low costs, superior puncture resistance, high tensile strength, and exceptional flexibility. Additionally, they boast remarkable self-healing capabilities and enjoy an exceptionally long service life, often lasting over 50 years under normal conditions.

The most commonly used specification is 1.5mm thick. For instance, if the tunnel ceiling spans 20 meters in width, using a 3-meter-wide sheet would result in each roll weighing around 85 kilograms—still manageable for workers. However, if a 6-meter-wide sheet were employed instead, each roll would weigh as much as 170 kilograms, which is far too heavy for workers to handle comfortably. At that weight, it becomes nearly impossible for them to lay the waterproofing sheets properly, significantly compromising the quality of the construction work.
