Wykamol Technoseal Damp Proof Paint is an advanced liquid-applied membrane designed to protect structures from water ingress and ground gas penetration. Formulated with high-quality styrene butadiene rubber (SBR), this damp-proof coating creates a durable, flexible barrier that outperforms traditional membranes in environments where sheet systems are impractical. Upon curing, it forms a seamless, semi-gloss film that adheres firmly to multiple substrates, offering long-term protection in both new build and refurbishment projects.
One of the defining features of Technoseal Damp Proof Paint is its versatility. It bonds effectively to concrete, masonry, timber, stone, and even damp surfaces, allowing for reliable application in areas where drying time may be limited. This makes it particularly suitable for basements, bathrooms, utility areas, and kitchens where moisture levels are high and work schedules are often tight. Its solvent-free, low-odour formula enhances safety and comfort during application, especially in enclosed or occupied spaces.
Technoseal not only functions as an effective waterproofing barrier but also provides robust protection against harmful ground gases such as radon, methane, and carbon dioxide. This dual-purpose capability makes it an ideal choice for below-ground structures where both damp ingress and gas exposure are potential risks. It is frequently specified for use in cellars, retaining walls, and wet rooms, where both moisture resistance and environmental safety are paramount.
Once fully cured, Technoseal forms a resilient membrane that remains flexible, allowing it to accommodate structural movement and minor settlement without cracking. It supports a wide range of finishing methods, including plaster, screed, or direct boarding, providing a reliable base layer for further construction work. The product can also be used in external applications, provided it is protected by render or mechanical coverage, further extending its use beyond internal environments.
Engineered for performance and compliance, Wykamol Technoseal Damp Proof Paint aligns with current building regulations relating to both damp protection and ground gas control. Its ability to perform under varied conditions while maintaining a high standard of safety and reliability makes it a trusted choice for contractors, developers, and specifiers seeking an efficient, multi-functional damp-proofing solution.

Before use, consult the product label and safety data sheet for detailed guidance. Appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including gloves, overalls, eye protection, and respiratory protection should be worn during application, particularly in enclosed or poorly ventilated areas.
Ensure good ventilation is maintained throughout the application and curing process. Technoseal Damp Proof Paint is non-toxic and solvent-free, but like all construction materials, should be handled in accordance with safe working practices. Avoid contact with skin and eyes, and do not ingest. Keep out of reach of children.
The product should not be used in temperatures below 7°C and falling, as this may affect film formation and performance.
Technoseal Damp Proof Paint is suitable for application to a variety of substrates including concrete, blockwork, stone, brick, and timber. These surfaces should be structurally sound, stable, and capable of supporting the coating without excessive movement.
The product may be applied to slightly damp surfaces, which is particularly useful in areas where full drying cannot be guaranteed. However, excessively wet or waterlogged substrates should be avoided, especially in applications exposed to direct sunlight, such as flat roofs.
All surfaces must be clean, sound, and free from dust, oil, grease, loose material, and surface water. For masonry substrates, all joints should be flush-pointed and any defects filled with a suitable repair mortar.
Although Technoseal can tolerate slight dampness, it is often beneficial to pre-wet porous substrates such as concrete or masonry with clean water to aid absorption and adhesion. For best results, adhesion tests should be conducted on a small trial area before full-scale application.
Where necessary, the compound may be diluted with up to 10% clean water to aid application, but care must be taken to maintain the correct dry film thickness.
Technoseal Damp Proof Paint can be applied using a brush, roller, or airless spray system. The product should be stirred thoroughly before application. For single coat applications requiring a dry film thickness greater than 0.3mm, the use of an airless spray is recommended.
A dry film of up to 1mm in one coat can be achieved with spray application. In two-coat applications, it is advised to apply each coat at right angles to the previous layer to ensure uniform coverage. The first coat should be allowed to dry until touch-dry, typically after one hour under normal site conditions, before the second coat is applied. The second coat must be applied within 24 hours of the first to ensure proper bonding.
After application, the membrane should be left undisturbed for a minimum of four days before any bond testing or covering with finishing materials.
Coverage is typically up to 5m² per litre for a two-coat application, depending on the texture and porosity of the substrate.
To ensure vapour barrier performance, a minimum dry film thickness of 0.6mm must be achieved. This typically requires a two-coat system unless spray-applied at high build.
Under standard conditions, Technoseal will be touch-dry within approximately one hour. Full curing to achieve the final vapour barrier membrane occurs within four days.
Environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, and substrate type will influence drying and curing times. Roof applications require special attention to avoid blistering, particularly on hot, sun-exposed days.
In these cases, either brushing the first coat vigorously into the concrete substrate or priming with a cured SBR slurry will mitigate the risk of vapour pressure buildup beneath the membrane.
All tools and equipment should be cleaned immediately after use with warm soapy water before the compound has dried. Dried material can only be removed mechanically. Brushes and rollers should be cleaned thoroughly and allowed to dry before reuse.
When working at wall-to-floor junctions or other high-stress points, it is advisable to reinforce the coating using a polypropylene scrim or fabric of approximately 0.5mm thickness. This reinforcement should be embedded into the wet base coat and fully covered with a second coat to ensure integrity and uniformity.
Although Technoseal is primarily designed for internal use, it may be used externally provided it is protected with a render or similar covering. It must not be used to coat flammable materials such as expanded polystyrene, as the cured membrane is combustible.
The product should always be stored in sealed containers in a cool, frost-free environment and used within the manufacturer’s recommended shelf life.
