About this deal

Dryzone is a special silicone based damp proof injection cream that treats and protects against rising damp. It is introduced along the mortar course at regular intervals by injecting it into pre-drilled holes. Dryzone then diffuses before curing to form a continuous water-repellent barrier, preventing rising damp and creating a damp proof course. avoided when treating rising damp on heritage projects. How does the Dryzone System differ from other rising damp treaments?

Active rising damp was established by submerging the bottom of the pillars in water to a depth of 25mm for a period of three weeks. At this point two of the pillars were treated with Dryzone and another two were treated using a conventional chemical treatment. A further two pillars were left untreated as controls. The pillars were kept wet for a further three weeks before being allowed to dry out for 9-months. Water was then re-introduced to the bottom of the pillars and measurements were taken to establish water uptake following treatment. The lower the water uptake, the better the formulation is at controlling rising damp. Independent confirmation of the effectiveness of Dryzone came in May 2002 when Dryzone became the first damp-proofing cream to receive BBA Certification Dryshield Cream is a salt resistant, breathable and water-repellent cream. It is used as a primer for Drygrip Adhesive and as a salt inhibitor on walls that have just been treated for rising damp with Dryzone Damp-Proofing Cream. Why Dryshield is Required Drygrip Adhesive to fix plasterboard: creates a durable bond to masonry that's strongly salt and moisture resistantThe success of Dryzone inevitably produced a plethora of look-alike products. However, because Dryzone is protected by patent, none of these products can benefit from Dryzone’s unique formulation technology. Performance Dryshield Cream to prime the wall: long-lasting protection against damp, salt and mould in just one coat Dryzone damp-proofing cream to treat rising damp: solvent-free, patented and the best performing rising damp treatment on the market

The active ingredient contained within the rods spreads through, and bonds with, sand;cement mortar. Any continuous mortar line that has been properly treated with Dryrod Damp-Proofing Rods becomes a damp-proof course. Due to the unique formulation of active ingredient allowed by the design of the rods, a Dryrod treatment is over 4 times more effective than the next best treatment method. How Dryrod is Applied As the graph above shows, Dryzone’s active ingredient level is high enough to introduce as much active ingredient into the wall as the traditional liquid damp-proofing fluids which have been used since the 1950s. The amount of active ingredient introduced by the look-alike 10% cream is tiny by comparison.Dryzone Damp-Proofing Cream is a water-based silicone cream that spreads through, and bonds with, sand;cement mortar. Any continuous sand;cement mortar line that has been properly treated with Dryzone becomes a damp-proof course. Due to the fact that it is a high strength cream, Dryzone delivers over 5 times more active ingredient to a wall, over a wider area, than other low strength competitors, making it longer lasting and more effective. How Dryzone is Applied These low levels of active ingredient are even more apparent when shown in the context of the amount of active ingredient introduced into each linear metre of wall:

Launched in 2000, Dryzone Damp-Proofing Cream has caused a revolution in the treatment of rising damp. Technologists at Safeguard realised that a concentrated “cream” formulation would overcome many of the problems associated with traditional damp-proofing systems. Ideally, such a system would not have to be injected at high pressure into the wall and would be able to deliver the correct level of active ingredient into the wall in a single pass. However, to offer a true breakthrough in rising damp treatment, it would have to meet some challenging design criteria: Dryzone Damp Proofing Injection Cream in the larger 600ml tube size gets the job done fast and economically. Dryrod Damp-Proofing Rods are the latest innovation in rising damp treatments. They are patented 12mm diameter grooved fibre rods that carry a powerful water repellent material. Dryrod has been thoroughly tested and is independently approved by the British Board of Agrement. Why Dryrod is Required Once the Dryzone is installed, it diffuses before curing to form a water-repellent resin. This prevents the damp from rising up the wall. ReplasteringDryzone has a number advantages over conventional chemical injection damp-proofing systems for both the contractor and the householder:
