No, some rock types are porous and will absorb water.
Sand itself is not waterproof, as it is highly porous and allows water to pass through it easily. However, when sand is compacted tightly or mixed with other materials like clay, it can create a barrier that water may have difficulty passing through.
To make concrete non-porous, you can add a waterproofing admixture during the mixing process. This helps to reduce the absorption of water into the concrete, making it less porous and more resistant to water penetration. Additionally, you can seal the surface of the concrete with a waterproof sealer to further enhance its non-porous properties.
Igneous rocks are generally not waterproof because they are porous due to the presence of tiny spaces or holes where water can seep through. However, some igneous rocks, such as granite, have low porosity and can be relatively resistant to water absorption.
Limestone is a porous rock that can absorb water. While it may not be completely waterproof, it can be sealed to increase water resistance. However, it is still important to be cautious as prolonged exposure to water can cause damage to limestone over time.
Gunite is a type of sprayed concrete, and is basically as porous as concrete is.
Leather is porous unless the surface has been waterproofed. Dubbin is one product that is frequently used to waterproof walker's boots.
No, some rock types are porous and will absorb water.
A rock that is waterproof is non porous or non permeable.
It's made from a porous form of PTFE - a form of Teflon.
Leather is porous, so even though it might be better at repelling water than other leathers, it is not completely waterproof.
Yes. Evaporation will happen regardless especially with a porous material like a tarp.

Gunite
No, Gunite is a type of concrete.
If rust is porous that means that water can pass through it. This means that when the surface of a metal rusts it 'exposes' fresh metal underneath to water, meaning that that rusts too.In short, rust being porous means that all the metal is effected not just the surface. When Aluminium rusts it forms a hermetic (waterproof) layer which actually prevents further damage. That is why aluminum does not have to be as heavily protected as iron (which should be painted or galvanised to waterproof it)
