Dampcure
A siloxane/solvent based material that is injected into the masonry to form a new damp-proofing course. Dampcure lines the masonry pores, but does not actually block them entirely, allowing the masonry to ‘breathe’ which facilitates rapid drying out of the affected masonry. Once cured, Dampcure causes a change in the interfacial tension (measured by the contact angle) between the capillary wall and the water preventing water entering the new barrier.
Features
- Simple to use and install
- Provides a water repellant barrier
- Prevents soluble salt blooming
- Does not alter the breathing characteristics of the masonry
- In most cases does not change the surface appearance
- Tests show years of reliable damp-proofing
Coverage
1.2-1.5 litres/m of 115mm brick. 2.3-3 litres/m of 230mm brick.
