DPC Injection Cream
A highly effective cream emulsion on a silane/siloxane base with a unique formulation that allows superior penetration of the active ingredient within the building material which creates a damp proof course in walls above ground level where an existing DPC has broken down or an orthodox DPC is missing. Aida Injection Cream is quick and easy to install by a low pressure injection system and is regarded as the new easy way to treat rising damp. When injected into masonry, Aida Injection Cream reverts to a liquid phase resulting in complete absorption of the product providing superior penetration and effective damp proof coursing.
Using DPC Injection Cream
Drill 12 mm diameter holes horizontally into the mortar joint, in general into the joint intersections at 120mm centres and to a depth of 10-20mm from opposite face. Remove bore dust from the hole and then fill with Injection Cream using a low pressure sprayer or a cartridge gun.

Please note these application rates are for a guide only. Application rates for porous, rubble or highly absorbent masonry may vary.
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.
