Ultracure DPC Injection Cream
Ultracure DPC Injection Cream is a high-performance damp proofing solution designed to permanently treat rising damp in walls. Formulated for ease of use and long-term reliability, this 1L cream can be injected directly into mortar bed joints, where it diffuses into the masonry to form an effective chemical barrier.
Once cured, the active ingredients block the capillary pathways that allow water to rise through brick, block, or stone walls. The cream is suitable for use in both internal and external walls and is ideal for domestic, commercial, and heritage properties alike.
This 1L size is perfect for small-scale treatment or isolated damp patches. For larger jobs, multi-pack options are also available.
Advantages of DPC Cream Injection:
Chemical DPC injections have transformed the damp proofing industry as a viable substitute for traditional physical DPC installations over the last five decades, favouring the innovative, quick, and cost-effective DPC creams for safer and more efficient rising damp treatments.
- The cream's unique formula transitions to liquid for superior depth penetration.
- Offers perpetual damp resistance, maintaining efficacy as long as the mortar remains intact.
- Installation is streamlined and tidy, with the cream's consistency and low-pressure delivery minimizing spillage and facilitating precise application.
- Contributes to energy cost savings by addressing rising damp, which reduces heat loss through damp walls.

APPLICATION GUIDE
Preparation
- Identify potential areas of excessive water ingress, fixing or adding drains as needed.
- Strip skirting, fittings, and wall finishes to reveal the DPC line, removing plaster contaminated with salts up to 300mm above damp levels.
- Inspect and address any fungal damage in floor timbers, replacing if necessary.
- Clear wall cavities of any obstructions.
Application
- Identify a mortar joint at least 150mm above the external ground level or adjacent to the internal floor level for solid floors, ensuring both internal and external DPCs align.
- Drill 12mm diameter holes horizontally at no more than 100mm apart in the selected mortar joint, to a depth 20mm shy of the wall's thickness.
- Remove drilling debris from the holes with a vacuum or borehole blower.
- Prepare the UberSeal DPC Cartridge by cutting the tube's top for cream flow and attaching the nozzle (if needed, an extension tube). Then, load into a cartridge gun.
- Inject the cream into each hole, starting from the back and slowly withdrawing the nozzle as it fills, stopping roughly 10mm from the hole's exterior.
- Promptly seal the final 10mm with mortar or a DPC Injection Plug to support the dispersion of active ingredients along the mortar course.
