Drygrip Adhesive: Dryzone System: Re-Plastering Fixative

Product Information

The Dryzone Express Replastering System is made up of three elements: a chemical Damp Proof Course (DPC) formed with Dryrod DPC rods; Dryshield Cream and Drygrip Adhesive. Dryrod DPC All the materials used in the Dryzone Express Replastering System have been chosen specifically to work with each other. Numerous laboratory tests were performed to find the best formulation of salt-resistant cream and plasterboard adhesive. We have produced a full laboratory report of the Dryzone Express Replastering System tests along with an abridged summary of the methods, results and conclusions. The Modern Method 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 At the beginning of 2014, Dryrod Damp-Proofing Rodswere launched as the next step in rising damp treatments. They are patented fibre rods that are simply inserted into the wall along a horizontal mortar course. Once inserted, the rods will diffuse high-performance water-repellent ingredients into the wall, curing to form a barrier to damp. The Dryzone High Viscosity Adhesive Applicator Gun is designed for use with Drygrip Adhesive. Once the foil sausage is pierced and inserted into the main tube, the high-torque trigger mechanism allows for easy application of the adhesive to plasterboard. This tool is also reusable and easily cleanable. Dryzone High Viscosity Applicator Gun with Dryzone Nozzle

Drygrip Adhesive allows plasterboard to be attached to a wall, without the use of dry lining battens. It leaves an air gap between the plasterboard and the wall, protecting décor from damp issues whilst the wall dries out. The Drygrip itself is moisture resistant and, in conjunction with the Dryshield Cream, will resist crystallising salts. How Drygrip is Applied Drygrip Adhesive is an essential part of the Dryzone Express Replastering System, offering a fast, clean, and modern solution to replaster walls after the treatment of rising damp. This system capitalizes on the effectiveness of a salt inhibitor cream and a salt & damp resistant adhesive to securely adhere plasterboard to salt-contaminated walls. A rising damp and replastering treatment can now be completed in under 24 hours, using the Dryzone Replastering System. All the components of the system have been designed and formulated to create a long lasting and cost effective decorative surface. Components & Coverage Dryshield Cream: The Dryzone Express Replastering System is the fast, clean and modern way to replaster a wall after the treatment of rising damp. The system utilises a salt inhibitor cream and a salt & damp resistant adhesive to adhere plasterboard to salt contaminated walls.We also have full video guideand step-by-step application instructionsfor a more full explanation of how to use the system. Why Choose the Dryzone Express Replastering System?

The Dryzone System 12mm SDS Masonry Drill Bit is a high-quality drill bit, specially selected for the drilled holes in masonry, ensuring maximum ease and effectiveness during the installation of Dryzone The biards are solid to the wall but as my walls are uneven and the adhesive was so extensive I couldn't use as much as I'd have liked on each board. It did cost several hundreds of pounds to do the whole downstairs like this yes. All choices regarding the type of system to use with any individual job, however, should be made with the advice of a professional. Certain jobs may be inappropriate for the Dryzone Express Replastering System, or for certain types of plasterboard. It is important to choose the correct materials and methods for each individual job. The coverage rate will vary depending upon the roughness and absorbency of the surface, use as a guide only. AppearanceTraditional advice says that every wall that has been subject to rising damp should be replastered. This is not always the case, however. Some walls that have been subject to rising damp do not suffer from salt contamination and eliminating the source of the moisture can sometimes be enough to see the wall drying out, with no ill effects. Simply pierce the foil sausage and insert into the main tube to enable use. The high-torque trigger plastic positioning plugs. They are used to set the air gap between the board and the wall before the Dryzone Adhesive cures. The adhesive when dry sets fairly hard but there is a small amount of flex in it. Kind of rubbery. Certaibly disent set like cement or normal dry wall. Leave the Drygrip Adhesive to cure for 1½ hours and then apply skrim tape and plaster as per normal plastering procedure.

Calculations show that the overall risk of condensation is reduced when using the Dryzone Express Replastering System compared with traditional sand:cement replastering systems. However, when using this type of product, due consideration must be given to the overall design to minimise risk of condensation and the recommendations contained in BS 5250:2011 should be followed. Where higher levels of relative humidity are anticipated other environmental controls should be considered, such as: The guidance given in BS 5250:2011 “Code of practice for control of condensation in buildings” should be followed with particular reference to sections G.3.1.4 “Solid masonry wall – Internal insulation” and G.3.2.4 “Masonry wall with cavity – Internal insulation”: Dryshield Cream is a salt resistant, breathable and water-repellent cream. It is used as a primer for Drygrip Adhesive and as a salt inhibitor on walls that have just been treated for rising damp with Dryzone Damp-Proofing Cream. Why Dryshield is Required In stark contrast, a rising damp and replastering treatment can now be completed in under 24 hours using the Dryzone Replastering System. Each component of the system has been carefully designed and formulated to provide a long-lasting and cost-effective decorative surface. Key Features The Dryzone System High Viscosity Applicator Gun is specifically meant for use with Drygrip Adhesive.Once it has cured, a sand and cement render is a very hard surface, often harder than surfaces to which it is applied. Although this means that the render itself is very hard wearing, which is a useful quality, it also means that removing the render without damaging the wall beneath becomes very difficult. In historic buildings especially, the preservation of the original walls is always a major concern, for both the property owner and heritage surveyor. An effective salt inhibitor cream, for use on walls contaminated with salts, as a result of rising damp. It resists the formation of salts in, or at, the masonry surface, without the need for a sand:cement render and acts as a primer for Dryzone Salt & Damp Resistant Adhesive. The Dryzone Express Replastering System has revolutionized the process of restoring the decorative surface after a rising damp treatment. Traditional methods required several layers of render and plaster, which was not only time-consuming and messy, but also required significant experience for successful execution. The rods can be installed in warm or cold walls, requiring only a drill. Standard length (180mm) rods are inserted into 12mm holes at 120mm intervals along the mortar lines of a building. Dryshield Cream Drygrip Adhesive is a salt and damp resistant glue for the purpose of fixing plasterboard directly to masonry surfaces. It is used on a wall that has been treated with Dryshield Cream or/and Dryzone Damp-Proofing Cream. Drygrip is also an effective general use adhesive.
