BPI Damp-proofing Cream – 1 Litre

Product Description

BPI Damp-proofing Cream 1 litre is delivered by hand pressure from the appropriately sized applicator gun into a series of holes drilled into the mortar course.

BPI Damp-proofing Cream effectively migrates into the masonry pores and fully passivates across the mortar joint as the cream reverts to a liquid phase. Upon curing, a hydrophobic chemical damp-proof barrier is formed in situ. Extensive field experience with this technology demonstrates that our cream will perform as well as any conventional liquid injection system against rising damp.

BPI Damp-proofing Cream is designed to control rising damp, but walls can remain damp after a DPC installation where they are severely contaminated with hygroscopic salts. Replastering with an appropriate, salt-resistant product, such as BPI Renovating Plaster or BPI Easy Mix Waterproofer & Plasticiser for Mortar & Render, is essential to prevent further damage to the plaster finish. In all cases, the damp-proof course should, as far as possible, be installed following the British Standard ‘Code of Practice for Installation of Chemical Damp Proof Courses’ BS6576:2005.
