Drygrip Adhesive is an essential part of the Dryzone Express Replastering System, offering a fast, clean, and modern solution to replaster walls after the treatment of rising damp. This system capitalizes on the effectiveness of a salt inhibitor cream and a salt & damp resistant adhesive to securely adhere plasterboard to salt-contaminated walls. Safeguard’s Express Replastering System comprises a combination of materials to treat rising damp in approximately 24 hours. Salt and Damp Resistant: Drygrip Adhesive offers impressive resistance to salt and moisture, ensuring a strong and durable bond on masonry surfaces. Offer the plasterboard up to the wall and tap into place, using Dryzone System Positioning Plugs and plastic Wedges to make sure that the board is touching neither the floor nor the wall. Apply all plasterboards in the same manner, until full desired coverage has been achieved.

plastic positioning plugs. They are used to set the air gap between the board and the wall before the Dryzone Adhesive cures. Traditional advice says that every wall that has been subject to rising damp should be replastered. This is not always the case, however. Some walls that have been subject to rising damp do not suffer from salt contamination and eliminating the source of the moisture can sometimes be enough to see the wall drying out, with no ill effects. Drygrip Adhesive allows plasterboard to be attached to a wall, without the use of dry lining battens. It leaves an air gap between the plasterboard and the wall, protecting décor from damp issues whilst the wall dries out. The Drygrip itself is moisture resistant and, in conjunction with the Dryshield Cream, will resist crystallising salts. How Drygrip is Applied Once fixed, the boards can be tape-jointed and skimmed as in ordinary dry lining situations. Dryzone Mould Resistant Emulsion Paint Most modern properties are built with a damp-proof course, usually in the form of an impermeable plastic membrane, which is placed along a mortar line near the ground. Some properties, however, were built with no damp-proof course, or the original has failed, meaning that rising damp can occur and it is necessary to make remedial repairs. Dryzone to the RescueThis is especially true when a high performance damp-proofing solution like Dryzone or Dryrod has been used, where the treatment of rising damp is far more consistent and effective than what can be achieved by pressure injected fluids or low strength creams. Due to the superior performance of the damp-proof course, the extra waterproofing qualities of the sand and cement render are often not needed to cover less well treated areas of the wall. Most forms of insulated plasterboard can be used with the Dryzone Express Replastering System, provided that the normal precautions associated with the installation of internal insulation are adhered to. In particular, care should be taken to ensure that the insulation board is correctly fitted and all gaps filled to prevent moisture migrating from the warm air in the room to the colder solid wall behind the insulation as this will present a condensation risk.

We would always recommend consulting a professional before deciding if you need to replaster. There are many qualified damproofing specialists that can give their recommendation and our technical team is always available to help with the diagnosis. Limitations of the Traditional Method Apply a single coat of Dryshield Cream to the area that is intended to be replastered, using a brush or roller. The cream must be allowed to sink in to the wall for at least 30 minutes before moving on to step three. What Drygrip Adhesive does it allows plasterboard to be attached to a wall, without the use of dry lining battens. It leaves an air gap between the plasterboard and the wall, protecting decor from damp issues whilst the wall dries out. The Drygrip itself is moisture resistant and, in conjunction with the Dryshield Cream, will resist crystallising salts.

All the materials used in the Dryzone Express Replastering System have been chosen specifically to work with each other. Numerous laboratory tests were performed to find the best formulation of salt-resistant cream and plasterboard adhesive. We have produced a full laboratory report of the Dryzone Express Replastering System tests along with an abridged summary of the methods, results and conclusions. The Modern Method Replace the end cap and nozzle, trimming the end of the nozzle to give a minimum 10 mm diameter hole. In some cases the hole in the nozzle can be made larger to discharge more product during application.

In stark contrast, a rising damp and replastering treatment can now be completed in under 24 hours using the Dryzone Replastering System. Each component of the system has been carefully designed and formulated to provide a long-lasting and cost-effective decorative surface. Key Features Leave the Drygrip Adhesive to cure for 1½ hours and then apply skrim tape and plaster as per normal plastering procedure. The Dryzone Express Replastering System is made up of three elements: a chemical Damp Proof Course (DPC) formed with Dryrod DPC rods; Dryshield Cream and Drygrip Adhesive. Dryrod DPC After the initial treatment of the source of the rising damp has been completed, the traditional practice is to replaster the affected wall, using salt-resistant sand and cement render as a basecoat. This is often required because the groundwater that rises up a wall can contain salts that contaminate both the wall itself and the attached décor. The process requires two coats of sand and cement render, with a salt resistant additive, and a final coat of plaster. Should I Replaster? Drygrip Adhesive is a salt and damp resistant glue for the purpose of fixing plasterboard directly to masonry surfaces. It is used after the application of Dryshield Cream to a wall that has been treated for rising damp, using Dryzone Damp-Proofing Cream. Drygrip is also an effective general use adhesive. Why Drygrip is RequiredAvailable in 3 and 5 litre tubs – Coverage rate of 5m 2 per litre – Brush or roller applied Drygrip Adhesive: Simply pierce the foil sausage and insert into the main tube to enable use. The high-torque trigger The biards are solid to the wall but as my walls are uneven and the adhesive was so extensive I couldn't use as much as I'd have liked on each board. It did cost several hundreds of pounds to do the whole downstairs like this yes. Drygrip Adhesive is applied directly to plasterboard, using a Dryzone High Viscosity Applicator Gun. The adhesive should be applied at regular spacings. The plasterboard is applied directly to a Dryshield treated wall, using positioning plugs to regulate the width of the air gap. The positioning plugs should only be used to adjust the positioning of the board, they do not take any of the structural load. The guidance given in BS 5250:2011 “Code of practice for control of condensation in buildings” should be followed with particular reference to sections G.3.1.4 “Solid masonry wall – Internal insulation” and G.3.2.4 “Masonry wall with cavity – Internal insulation”:
