Dryzone Damp Proofing Cream (DPC) - 310ml - High-Strength Injection Cream for Rising Damp Treatment. BBA & WTA Approved

Product Information

This is important because no two walls suffering from rising damp are the same. In particular the physical properties of the mortar used to construct walls can vary considerably and this can have a significant influence on the effectiveness of any rising damp treatment.

Dryzone damp-proofing cream to treat rising damp: solvent-free, patented and the best performing rising damp treatment on the market However, it was still used in conjunction with an industry standard sand:cement replastering system that was slow and expensive to install, was unpopular with homeowners and heritage bodies and could often result in a cold wall surface that could be vulnerable to condensation. Fully insert the nozzle into the first drilled hole, and then inject Dryzone cream while withdrawing the nozzle at a steady rate. Stop injecting just before removing the nozzle from the wall. Repeat for remaining holes. Furthermore, Dryzone’s unique formulation causes these active ingredients to spread further in the wall – providing a more even and complete rising damp treatment. The difference between the spread characteristics of Dryzone and look-alike products can be illustrated using a simple spread test: The success of Dryzone inevitably produced a plethora of look-alike products. However, because Dryzone is protected by patent, none of these products can benefit from Dryzone’s unique formulation technology. Performance

Maximised DPC performance

Once the Dryzone is installed, it diffuses before curing to form a water-repellent resin. This prevents the damp from rising up the wall. Replastering The coverage rate will vary depending upon the roughness and absorbency of the surface, use as a guide only. Appearance Dryshield makes the surface it is applied to hydrophobic and weakens the crystallisation strength of the salts within, or at, the masonry surface. The surface is left breathable, so water vapour can still escape the wall, which allows it to dry out, but salts are not able to build up on the surface and contaminate, or dislodge, any part of the plasterboard. How Dryshield is Applied Dryshield Cream to prime the wall: long-lasting protection against damp, salt and mould in just one coat The effectiveness of Dryzone has been verified under a wide range of test conditions by independent test houses around the world. Test conditions examined include:

Flaking paint, peeling wallpaper, a “musty” odour, and timber decay are among the most common symptoms of rising damp. Failure to treat rising damp properly can result in a house that is unpleasant to live in and difficult to sell, so it is important to choose an effective method of treatment. Dryzone Damp-proofing Cream Dryzone is a special silicone based damp proof injection cream that treats and protects against rising damp. It is introduced along the mortar course at regular intervals by injecting it into pre-drilled holes. Dryzone then diffuses before curing to form a continuous water-repellent barrier, preventing rising damp and creating a damp proof course. In fact the final Dryzone formulation met or exceeded all of the design criteria that were set at the concept stage. As the graph above shows, Dryzone’s active ingredient level is high enough to introduce as much active ingredient into the wall as the traditional liquid damp-proofing fluids which have been used since the 1950s. The amount of active ingredient introduced by the look-alike 10% cream is tiny by comparison. Dryzone Damp-Proofing Cream is a water-based silicone cream that spreads through, and bonds with, sand;cement mortar. Any continuous sand;cement mortar line that has been properly treated with Dryzone becomes a damp-proof course. Due to the fact that it is a high strength cream, Dryzone delivers over 5 times more active ingredient to a wall, over a wider area, than other low strength competitors, making it longer lasting and more effective. How Dryzone is AppliedLaunched in 2000, Dryzone Damp-Proofing Cream has caused a revolution in the treatment of rising damp.

Most modern properties are built with a damp-proof course. Some properties, however, were built with no damp proof course, or the original DPC has failed, meaning that rising damp occurs and it is necessary to make remedial repairs. Older pressure injection techniques for treating rising damp are time consuming, complicated and expensive. Dryzone Damp-Proofing Cream is the fast, clean and effective method of rising damp treatment. What Dryzone Does The active ingredient contained within the rods spreads through, and bonds with, sand;cement mortar. Any continuous mortar line that has been properly treated with Dryrod Damp-Proofing Rods becomes a damp-proof course. Due to the unique formulation of active ingredient allowed by the design of the rods, a Dryrod treatment is over 4 times more effective than the next best treatment method. How Dryrod is AppliedDrygrip Adhesive to fix plasterboard: creates a durable bond to masonry that's strongly salt and moisture resistant Dryzone has a number advantages over conventional chemical injection damp-proofing systems for both the contractor and the householder: Dryzone Damp-Proofing Cream is the original high performance injection cream, for the purpose of treating rising damp. It is the most rigorously tested and accredited remedial damp proofing treatment available on the market. Why Dryzone is Required Eliminates the need to introduce large volumes of liquid carrier into the wall. Dryzone is over four times stronger than many competing products.
