The Wykamol Damp Proofing Products range, provided by Platinum Chemicals, encompasses a wide array of solutions designed to effectively manage and treat various forms of dampness in buildings. Damp problems such as rising damp, penetrating damp, and condensation can lead to severe structural damage if left untreated. Issues like timber decay, plaster degradation, salt contamination, and mould growth are common results of damp infiltration, making it essential to employ robust damp-proofing measures to protect the integrity and longevity of properties. Wykamol's products are expertly formulated to address these concerns and offer lasting protection for both residential and commercial structures.

Damp proofing is critical to preserving the health of a building, as untreated dampness can weaken walls, floors, and ceilings, leading to costly repairs and even structural instability. The Wykamol Damp Proof Membranes, such as the CM3 Mesh Membrane and CM3 Waterproof Membrane, offer reliable solutions for both above and below-ground applications. These high-quality membranes create an impermeable barrier, preventing moisture ingress. The mesh variant allows for plastering or dot-and-dab plasterboarding over the membrane, while the non-meshed version provides waterproofing where space is restricted, such as basements or low-ceiling areas. These membranes ensure that buildings are safeguarded against long-term water damage.

For addressing rising damp, Ultracure Damp Proof Cream provides a highly effective, BBA-approved treatment that is injected into brickwork to create a chemical damp-proof course. The cream migrates into masonry pores and forms a hydrophobic barrier, preventing moisture from rising through the walls. Paired with the appropriate Wykamol Salt Neutraliser to treat residual salts, Ultracure offers a comprehensive solution for stopping rising damp and protecting interior finishes. For professional projects requiring large-scale treatment, Wykamol Microtech PIF Damp Proof Injection Fluid offers a concentrated solution that can be diluted for use in pressure injection systems, providing another powerful method for controlling rising damp in masonry.

Alongside damp proof creams and fluids, Wykamol provides a range of renovation products to restore walls after damp treatment. Wykamol Renovation Plaster is ideal for replastering after the installation of a chemical damp-proof course, as it resists salt migration and condensation, helping to maintain a dry and durable surface. This lightweight plaster offers excellent breathability and ensures that treated walls are protected long after damp issues have been resolved. To further enhance the effectiveness of cement renders, Wykamol RenderProof Additive can be used as a waterproofing and plasticising agent, improving the resistance of external and internal renders against moisture penetration.

For below-ground waterproofing and tanking, the Wykamol HydraFlex and HydraDry Tanking Slurry systems provide flexible and cementitious waterproof barriers, ideal for basements, swimming pools, and other areas subjected to water pressure. These products form watertight coatings that withstand both positive and negative hydrostatic pressure, offering exceptional protection in underground environments. Wykamol Water Stop Fast Set Plugging Mortar complements these systems, enabling rapid repair of active water leaks in concrete and masonry, providing an instant waterproof seal.

Wykamol also offers advanced solutions for specialised damp proofing, such as the Lectros Electro Osmosis Damp Proofing System. This innovative system uses a low-voltage electric current to reverse the capillary action that causes rising damp. The Lectros system is an ideal solution for treating rising damp in older buildings or structures with thick walls where traditional methods may be less effective.

Finally, for high-performance flooring solutions, Wykamol EP40 Epoxy Floor Coating provides a durable, chemical-resistant surface, ideal for commercial and industrial environments. This epoxy coating system, consisting of a primer and finish coat, ensures that concrete floors are protected from moisture ingress and wear, extending the life and appearance of floors in demanding environments.

Overall, Wykamol’s comprehensive range of damp-proofing products provides effective, long-lasting solutions to combat moisture-related issues in buildings. Whether dealing with rising damp, penetrating damp, or condensation, Wykamol’s products offer the protection needed to preserve the structural integrity and appearance of any property, ensuring dry and healthy environments for years to come.
