CHEMGARD DPC INJECTION

Silane Siloxane DPC Injection System

DESCRIPTION

It is silicone-based DPC injection fluid which, when

injected into masonry forms a chemical damp-proof
course. It utilizes novel silane technology, which
results in a high performance, low-odour injection
fluid. Chemgard DPC Injection has a multi-
component formulation which means that it develops
initial water-repellency quickly, but also allows
further diffusion to form a more evenly distributed
damp-proof course.

Benefits
Provides water repellent surface
Reduces surface salts
Acts as a replacement of DPC

Technical Data
Technical Data

conditions.

Application Guidelines
Choosing the DPC level
The horizontal damp-proof-course should be chosen to comply with the
recommendations in BS Code of Practice 102:1973 or the equivalent in other
countries (Protection of Buildings against Water from the Ground). Complementary
vertical damp-proof courses are necessary to isolate treated walls from the effects of
rising damp in adjoining walls (e.g. in semi-detached, terraced houses and
basements).

Drilling Angle:
Choose a line for the insertion of the damp proof course not less than 150mm above
the external ground level and as close to the internal floor level as possible. Holes
should be 10-14mm in diameter, depending on the size of the injector nozzles, and
spaced at 120mm to 150mm centres. Drill either directly into the mortar or down
through the brick at an angle of 25 - 45, terminating in a mortar bed. The precise
drilling method should be determined after a trial assessment of a short run of wall.

Injection Method:
Insert the injector nozzles into the wall and tighten to seal. Pump the Chemgard DPC
Injection into the wall at a pressure between 10 and 80psi. Longer injection times at
lower pressures are safer and potentially provide more even distribution of the
product through the wall. However, dense, impermeable substrates may require
higher pressures. Any spillages onto patios, paths etc. should be removed
immediately using water and detergent

Consumption (Per hole spacing):

225mm, 0.40 litre per hole
340mm, 0.60 litre per hole
450mm, 0.85 litre per hole
The above is based on average porosity. Increase by 30% for more porous and
decrease by 20% for less porous conditions.
Safety Precautions
