Kiesol C High Strength DPC Injection Cream 5L or Kit

Kiesol C - 5 Litre tub & kit

Kiesol C is a next-generation Damp Proofing Cream, providing permanent protection against rising damp.

It is a high-strength cream with an active ingredient (silane) level of 80%. It provides long lasting protection against rising damp, giving the homeowner peace of mind. Kiesol C cream is available as a five-litre tub or as a kit.

This high-performance DPC cream is specially formulated to penetrate deep into the masonry. It provides a new chemical damp proof course - a permanent horizontal water-repellent barrier against rising damp.

How Kiesol C cream works

Kiesol C is injected into a 12mm hole drilled into the mortar joint approximately 75mm-150mm above ground level. The cream is then left to revert to its liquid phase and penetrate the masonry surrounding the hole. As Kiesol C penetrates the substrate, it carries the high level of active ingredients into the masonry. The silanes then line the capillaries in the substrate to create a water repellent barrier. This barrier in the masonry is the new chemical damp proof course and will stop rising damp in the substrate permanently.

Installing Kiesol C cream

1. Kiesol C is injected into a 12mm hole drilled into the mortar joint approximately 75mm–150mm above ground level.
2. The product is then left to revert to its liquid phase and penetrate the masonry surrounding the hole.
3. As Kiesol C penetrates the substrate, it carries the high level of active ingredients into the masonry. These silanes line the capillaries in the substrate to create a water-repellent barrier.

WTA-approved Damp Proofing Cream

Kiesol C is approved by the German WTA for treating rising damp in highly saturated walls with a moisture saturation level of up to 95%.

The WTA test method is particularly tough on DPC products because the test walls are subjected to continual damp with no "dwell period" to assist the curing of the cream. The test is carried out at three levels of saturation: 60%, 80%, and 95%. Kiesol C Damp Proof Cream passed the most extreme test at 95% saturation, proving its high performance even in the toughest conditions.
