DryzoneDamp-ProofingCream
Product Description
Dryzone Damp-Proofing Cream is the industry standard for
remedial rising damp treatments. It is a cream that is injected
into holes drilled along a mortar bed using a special applicator
gun. Once installed, the high strength formulation spreads along
the mortar bed before curing to form a damp-proof course.
Dryzone’s patented installation method has been optimised
to ensure that it is effective on a wide range of mortar types,
including the porous and low-alkalinity mortars typically found
in Victorian buildings.

Set your SDS drill to rotary hammer and select a 12mm drill
bit in excess of the required drill depth. Depending on the
thickness of the wall, mark the drill bit the following distances
from the tip:

Application
When treating from outside a row of holes should be drilled into
the mortar course 120mm apart and approximately 150mm
above the ground. When treating from the inside the holes
should be drilled into the lowest accessible mortar course.
Drill the holes the necessary depth ensuring you reduce your
drilling pressure once you reach 40mm short of the full hole
depth. Reducing pressure ensures a cleaner hole and prevents
damage to the far side of the wall.
Insert a Dryzone foil sausage into the applicator gun, ensuring
the pressure piston is fully extended. Cut into the end of the
cartridge so that cream will be able to flow freely. Screw the
nozzle cap back onto the gun.
Fully insert the nozzle into the first drilled hole, and then inject
Dryzone Damp-Proofing Cream while withdrawing the nozzle
at a steady rate. Stop injecting just before removing the nozzle
from the wall. Repeat for remaining holes.
