Ultracure Damp-Proofing Cream: Advanced Protection Against Rising Damp

The Ultracure Damp-Proofing Cream range offers a highly effective solution for controlling rising damp in masonry structures. This innovative cream is applied by hand pressure using a specially designed applicator gun, which injects the cream into a series of holes drilled into the mortar course.

How Ultracure Works

Ultracure effectively penetrates the masonry pores and spreads across the mortar joint as it transitions from a cream to a liquid phase. Upon curing, it forms a robust hydrophobic chemical damp-proof barrier in situ. Extensive field experience has shown that Ultracure performs as well as, if not better than, conventional liquid injection systems in combating rising damp.

Key Features

• Effective Penetration: Migrates into masonry pores and spreads to create a comprehensive barrier.
• Reliable Performance: Matches or exceeds the effectiveness of traditional liquid injection systems.
• Hydrophobic Barrier: Cures to form a long-lasting chemical damp-proof barrier.

Post-Treatment Considerations

While Ultracure is highly effective in controlling rising damp, walls that are heavily contaminated with hygroscopic salts may remain damp after the damp-proof course (DPC) installation. In such cases, replastering with a salt-resistant product, such as Renovation Plaster or Renderproof, is essential to prevent further damage to the plaster finish.

Best Practices for Installation

For optimal results, the Ultracure damp-proof course should be installed in accordance with the British Standard 'Code of Practice for Installation of Chemical Damp Proof Courses' (BS6576:2005). This ensures that the installation is carried out to the highest standards, providing lasting protection against rising damp.

Why Choose Ultracure?

Ultracure Damp-Proofing Cream offers a superior solution for rising damp, combining ease of application with proven effectiveness. Whether for new installations or remedial work, Ultracure provides a reliable and durable barrier to protect your masonry from the damaging effects of moisture.
