Product Description
Fight against rising dampness effectively with the Wykamol Ultracure
Damp Proofing Cream. This innovative product, with its unique silicone
emulsion cream formula, is specially designed for easy injection into
brickwork to establish a robust barrier against dampness. Ideal for both
professional and DIY applications, it does not require high-pressure
equipment. It is designed to be user-friendly and can be applied using a
simple applicator gun. Once applied, it transitions from its original
state into a liquid phase, allowing the low molecular weight Silane to
move thoroughly into the masonry pores, creating an efficient barrier
against dampness.
- Manufacturing code of this product is ULTRA400
- Ultracure is a BBA approved unique silicone emulsion cream for injection into brickwork to control rising dampness
- Ultracure can be used in all types of masonry without the use of high pressure equipment
- BBA approved
- Ultracure, with its BBA Certificate is easy to apply, odourless and can be used on all types of masonry
- The cream is delivered by hand pressure only from a simple applicator gun into a series of holes drilled into the mortar course
- From here the low molecular weight Silane effectively migrates into the masonry pores and fully passivates across the mortar joint as the cream reverts to a liquid phase
- Upon curing a hydrophobic chemical damp proof barrier is formed in-situ
- Curing of the DPC starts immediately with the final cure taking 2-6 weeks depending upon wall thickness
- Extensive field experience with this technology demonstrates that Ultracure will perform as well as any conventional liquid injection system against rising damp.

- Application :
- ULTRACURE INJECTION: Insert Ultracure cartridge into appropriate gun applicator. Insert the applicator nozzle into the full depth of the predrilled hole. Squeeze the gun and trigger and back fill each hole fully with Ultracure cream to within one centimetre of the surface. When treating cavity walls from one side make certain that the holes in each leaf are filled.
- Application Limitation :
- Spilt material should be wiped up immediately and the wipes disposed of appropriately. Contaminated surfaces should be washed immediately with warm soapy water. If Ultracure cream penetrates non-target surfaces (e.g. a patio slab) it will normally dry clear to finish.
- Finishing:
- On external faces of walls, drill holes can be re-pointed using amatched mortar or can be plugged with Wykamol Injection plugs in stone, rustic or brown. On internal faces holes can be left open and plaster stopped short of the DPC.
- Decoration :
- The removal and replacement of internal salt contaminated plaster is an important part of an effective damp-proof course. Salts left behind by rising damp are hygroscopic and can cause future staining independent of any issues with structural dampness. It is therefore essential to follow specific guidelines drawn-up for dealing with the particular challenges posed by damp/ salt-affected surfaces. Please refer to our various Replastering Specifications (e.g. Wykamol Renovation Plaster).
- It is advisable to leave walls injected with Ultracure cream to dry for as long as possible, and for at least 14 days, before removing excess salts and commencing replastering.
- Storage And Shelf Life :
- Store between 5 degree c and 30 degree c, in cool and frost free conditions. Temporary exposure to slight frost while in transit should not affect usage and stability. Shelf life is 12 months when unopened, undamaged and stored correctly.
