part of the installation process for Dryzone DPC Cream or Dryrod DPC Rods. Dryzone Cream Injection Gun is ideal for cutting Dryrod DPC Rods to size. The cutter has a protective cap for the pointed blade and When Safeguard Europe launched Dryzone Damp-Proofing Creamin the year 2000, the way that people treated rising damp was transformed. It is aspecial damp-proofing cream that is introduced along the mortar course at regular intervals by injecting it into pre-drilled holes. The Dryzone then diffuses before curing to form a continuous water-repellent barrier.

Internally applied thermal insulation isolates the heated interior from the masonry, which will therefore be cold, producing a risk of interstitial condensation behind the thermal insulation; to prevent that, an AVCL should be applied on the warm side of the thermal insulation. Drygrip Adhesive allows plasterboard to be attached to a wall, without the use of dry lining battens. It leaves an air gap between the plasterboard and the wall, protecting décor from damp issues whilst the wall dries out. The Drygrip itself is moisture resistant and, in conjunction with the Dryshield Cream, will resist crystallising salts. How Drygrip is Applied Once it has cured, a sand and cement render is a very hard surface, often harder than surfaces to which it is applied. Although this means that the render itself is very hard wearing, which is a useful quality, it also means that removing the render without damaging the wall beneath becomes very difficult. In historic buildings especially, the preservation of the original walls is always a major concern, for both the property owner and heritage surveyor.Drygrip Adhesive will skin over within approximately 15 - 30 minutes. The cure rate will be approximately 2 mm in depth per 24 hours, this may be slower on non-porous surfaces. This is especially true when a high performance damp-proofing solution like Dryzone or Dryrod has been used, where the treatment of rising damp is far more consistent and effective than what can be achieved by pressure injected fluids or low strength creams. Due to the superior performance of the damp-proof course, the extra waterproofing qualities of the sand and cement render are often not needed to cover less well treated areas of the wall. Available in 3 and 5 litre tubs – Coverage rate of 5 m 2 per litre – Brush or roller applied Drygrip Adhesive: Dryzone provided a cleaner, faster and more cost effective treatment for rising damp than fluid pressure injection systems, which were the previous industry standard. This innovation transformed the industry, making damp-proofing creams the default method of treatment.

Key Features

Dryshield Cream may also act as a primer for Drygrip Adhesive. The adhesive has been developed for ‘dab’ fixing plasterboard directly to masonry surfaces. It forms a strong and long-lasting bond and is resistant to both salts and damp. DPC products. The machined tool is perfectly sized to fit the 12mm diameter holes that are drilled for Drygrip Adhesive is an essential part of the Dryzone Express Replastering System, offering a fast, clean, and modern solution to replaster walls after the treatment of rising damp. This system capitalizes on the effectiveness of a salt inhibitor cream and a salt & damp resistant adhesive to securely adhere plasterboard to salt-contaminated walls. We would always recommend consulting a professional before deciding if you need to replaster. There are many qualified damproofing specialists that can give their recommendation and our technical team is always available to help with the diagnosis. Limitations of the Traditional Method Drygrip Adhesive is applied directly to plasterboard, using a Dryzone High Viscosity Applicator Gun. The adhesive should be applied at regular spacings. The plasterboard is applied directly to a Dryshield treated wall, using positioning plugs to regulate the width of the air gap. The positioning plugs should only be used to adjust the positioning of the board, they do not take any of the structural load.
