DAMP PROOF

Damp Proof: a premium moisture barrier for walls affected by rising dampRhinoluxe Damp Proof is a deep-penetrating moisture barrier for interior and exterior walls affected by rising damp. It soaks into the plaster and masonry, resists damp transferring through to the paint film, and blocks the visible stains that damp leaves behind. Made for South African homes where rising damp lifts paint and marks walls, it gives a treated base ready for a durable topcoat.Key Benefits Deep penetrating. Soaks into plaster and masonry rather than sitting only on the surface. Resists damp transfer. Slows moisture moving through the wall to the paint layer. Blocks visible stains. Helps stop damp marks and salting bleeding through the finish. Interior and exterior. Suitable for walls inside and outside the home. Paintable base. Creates a treated surface for a quality wall topcoat. Technical OverviewDamp Proof works as a penetrating moisture barrier. It is absorbed into the porous wall surface and forms a resistant layer within the substrate that limits how easily moisture from rising damp reaches the decorative coating. By reducing that moisture path and locking in staining salts, it protects the topcoat from the blistering, peeling and brown marks typical of untreated damp walls.Specifications Type Penetrating moisture barrier (damp-proofing coating) Primary use Walls affected by rising damp Key actions Deep penetrating, resists damp transfer, blocks visible stains Exposure Interior and exterior Pack sizes 5L, 20L Technical GuidanceIdentify and address the source of the rising damp before coating, so the treatment is not fighting an active leak. Remove blistered paint, salts and loose plaster back to a sound surface. Apply Damp Proof to the bare wall and let it penetrate and dry, then follow with a primer and topcoat such as Shield. Severe structural damp may need a physical damp-proof course as well.
