Aida Damp Proofing Cream Kit
Aida Damp Proofing Cream provides effective and safe protection against Rising Damp. The cream is designed to create a damp proof course in walls above ground level where an existing DPC has broken down or an orthodox DPC is missing. The cream’s highly effective formulation enables deep penetration of the mortar layer, creating a long lasting horizontal barrier against rising damp.
This Aida Dampproofing kit includes:
10 x 310ml Aida Damp Proofing Cream Cartridges
1 x Caulking Gun 310ml
1 x 300mm Extension Tube
1 x 12mm x 300mm SDS Drill Bit
How Damp Proofing Cream Works
The Aida Cream reverts to a liquid phase when injected into the masonry resulting in complete absorption into the substrate. Its unique consistency allows horizontal application techniques without the cream running out. Combined with superior stability in the borehole, this ensures the optimal penetration of the active ingredient in all directions.
The silane/siloxane ingredient then reacts with water and becomes a polysiloxane, forming a horizontal barrier against rising damp.
Installation
Aida Damp Proofing Cream is quick and easy to install. The kit contains all you need to get started. Simply drill into the mortar joint and fill the boreholes with the cream using a low-pressure sprayer or a cartridge gun.
1. Drill 12 mm diameter holes horizontally into the mortar joint, in general into the joint intersections, at 120 mm centres and to a depth of 10-20 mm from opposite face
2. Remove bore dust from the hole and then fill with Injection Cream using a low-pressure sprayer or a cartridge gun.
Important: 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.
