Dryshield Cream 5L
Product Description
Dryshield® Cream is a breathable, salt-resistant and water-repellent cream that acts as a primer for Drygrip™ Adhesive. It forms part of the Dryzone System for faster replastering after rising damp treatment.
When applied to walls contaminated with groundwater salts from rising damp, Dryshield® Cream functions by hydrophobing the surface and weakening the crystallisation strength of salts which may form in or at the masonry surface. The wall can dry out and potentially damaging salts are kept away from plasterboard and other decorative finishes. For internal use only.
