DPC Mastic (400ml cartridge)

SKU: 221263
Est. £13.32 - £15.68  + VAT
Synthetic rubber mastic adhesive with gap filling properties, used to bond the vertical face of surface fixed DPC Cavity Trays to common building materials. Typical coverage on smooth surfaces is between 1.2 and 2m² per litre. As a rough guide, when bonding 100mm of DPC Cavity Tray to a vertical surface, one DPC Mastic 400ml cartridge will bond approximately 6.5 linear metres of DPC and one DPC Mastic 2.5L tin will bond approximately 40 linear metres of DPC. • Gap filling properties up to 6mm on uneven surfaces • Receiving substrates do not require primer • Supplied in easy to apply cartridge format

Product Description

Building regulations necessitate the incorporation of Damp Proof Courses (DPCs) in masonry wall constructions to counteract the upward capillary movement of water, commonly referred to as rising damp. DPCs serve the purpose of preventing water transfer between different parts of the structure, such as door sills and window jambs, and also act as a barrier against the downward movement of moisture. In scenarios where DPCs are integrated into masonry walls over elements like lintels and brickwork support systems, they are specifically termed as cavity trays. These trays play a crucial role in preventing water penetration across the cavity. The DPC and Cavity Tray Systems encompass a comprehensive range of specialized damp-proofing solutions tailored for various applications. These products include insulated, gas-resistant, and fire-resistant systems. The product line is complemented by essential system components, including fixings and adhesives, along with standard and project-specific preformed cloak units. This ensures that even intricate architectural details can be effectively damp-proofed.
