Liquid DPC Cartridge
Aida damp proofing cream is an easy to use, high performance damp proof course injection cream. Based on a silane /siloxane pure cream emulsion, the high performance liquid damp proofing cream is introduced into 12mm holes in the mortar joint. These are located approximately 150mm above the external ground level at 100mm-120mm spacings.
Once installed into the holes, the cream then returns to its liquid phase. This allows it to penetrate the substrate, spreading along the mortar course to line the capillaries with silicone. This reduces the ability of the substrate to absorb and transport water.
When cured (approximately 7 – 10 days later) Aida damp proofing cream creates a complete water repellent barrier along the mortar joint. This repels any damp in the substrate below from rising up, creating a new chemical damp proof course.
To use this product easily you will need to purchase a one litre cartridge gun. Application Rates/ Requirements Aida DPC:

As with all Damp Proof Course Injections salt contaminated plasterwork must be renewed. It is important that the re-plastering specification is strictly adhered to and that the plasterer carrying out the work is made aware of the importance of the re-plastering being carried out to specification in conjunction with the insertion of the new chemical damp proof course. Please ask for our recommended re-plastering specification.
