TECH-DRY DAMPCOURSE CREAM is a water-based and environmentally friendly non-drip thixotropic silane/siloxane cream, which is an easy-to-use damp-proof course material for masonry walls. The cream contains no organic solvent.
DPC CREAM is an innovative silane/siloxane cream that has been specifically formulated as an easy-to-use damp-proof course material to install a durable siloxane polymer damp course into brickwork or other masonry walls to permanently stop salt damp in masonry walls.
DPC CREAM is designed to be installed into the mortar bed of masonry walls. Once the DPC CREAM is injected into the mortar bed, this thixotropic cream can stay in close contact with the mortar bed and slowly release silane/siloxane into the capillaries of the mortar bed until the cream is completely absorbed into the mortar bed. The cream also penetrates the bricks or other masonry substrates above and below the mortar bed. The silane/siloxane reacts with the mortar bed and the bricks, forming a permanent polysiloxane damp course within the treated wall.
Features:
Australian made product
Water-Based Cream
Easy to install and inexpensive
Suitable for brick and thick masonry walls containing a mortar bed.
Available in 5L and 20L Containers.
Contains more than 80% active silicones
Approx 1L per metre (double brick and stone walls)

DENSACRETE LITHIUM is a concrete densifier based on innovative silicate technology. It is a non-film forming penetrating sealer that penetrates, blocks concrete capillaries and reacts with concrete to form a hard, dust-proof and colour enhanced concrete finish. A smooth or gloss finish can be easily achieved by concrete polishing. Due to the smaller molecule and high activity of lithium silicate technology, DENSACRETE LITHIUM can deeply penetrate and quickly react with concrete resulting in fast concrete polishing process. Further, unlike other silicate densifiers, DENSACRETE LITHIUM is unlikely to leave visible residues or efflorescence after the treatment.
Recommended Uses
DENSACRETE LITHIUM is used as a concrete densification sealer for treating concrete including polished concrete such as residential concrete floors, commercial car parks, and factory or warehouse flooring. Applications include treating new and old concrete floors for strengthening, dust-proofing, and creating a hard, smooth/glossy and colour enhanced polished concrete finish. The densifier may be used for sealing other masonry substrates including natural stone, clay bricks and ceramic tiles. However, a test should be conducted prior to application to determine the suitability of the product for the purpose.
The key features of DENSACRETE LITHIUM include:
Deeply penetrating into concrete ensuring durable protection
Fast reaction with concrete for efficient concrete polishing process
No visible residues or efflorescence after application
Enhances surface colour without changing the surface characteristics of concrete
Reduces water absorption and surface staining
Environmentally friendly water-based technology
Ready-to-use low viscosity formula enables easy application

Use Instructions
Surface Preparation
Before application, the concrete surface should be completely cleaned of any surface contaminants that may impede the penetration of DENSACRETE PREMIUM. The surface should be allowed to dry before application.
New concrete should be properly cured. Curing compounds, release agents, and coatings/membranes should be completely removed, cleaned from the surface, and allowed to dry before applying DENSACRETE PREMIUM. In the case of acid-treated concrete, the concrete should be completely neutralised, rinsed with water, and allowed to dry before the application.For polished concrete, the surface is firstly removed by grinding up to 200 grit or any desired finish to expose the capillaries or aggregates before applying DENSACRETE PREMIUM. This will ensure maximum sealer absorption to achieve optimum concrete densification and oil and water resistance by applying DENSACRETE PREMIUM.
Application
DENSACRETE PREMIUM should be mixed well before use. The sealer may be applied with a low-pressure hand sprayer, brush or broom. The product should be evenly flooded onto the surface. Pooling should be avoided. To achieve maximum absorption, ensure the sealer is present on the surface as a mirror-like wet film for up to 30 minutes. If the first coat is quickly absorbed by the surface, the second coat is applied immediately while the surface is still wet (wet-on-wet method). For porous and permeable concrete, this wet-on-wet application may be repeated until the surface is saturated, with no further absorption of the sealer being achieved. Remove excess sealer from the surface if it hasn’t been absorbed by the surface within 30 minutes. Any excess sealer on the surface may dry to unwanted residues that may become difficult to remove after the product is cured.
It may help to achieve better penetration by pre-diluting the sealer at 1:1 with clean water before use. However, this may mean more wet-on-wet applications are required to achieve the desired result.
A final application is required after the previous application has been cured for 24 hours. It is recommended that no further polishing is undertaken after the final application. Polishing or buffering at this stage may reduce the oil and water-resistant effect imparted by DENSACRETE PREMIUM. Further application of DENSACRETE PREMIUM may be applied if advanced oil and water resistance is required for the treated concrete.
If an alternative desired polished concrete finish is required, then other TECH-DRY oil and water-repellent sealers may be applied as a finish sealer after the final polish.
Consumption Rate
The application rate of DENSACRETE PREMIUM varies depending on the porosity of the concrete. Dense or new concrete will have a low absorption rate, whereas porous and permeable or old concrete will absorb more sealer. The consumption rate varies from 5 – 20/m2 per litre per coat or could be out of this range significantly.
After Application and curing
Curing starts immediately after application. But it may take 24 hours or more to achieve better curing. Avoid heavy traffic for up to 24 hours. Optimum densification and oil and water resistance are expected after seven days of curing or more.

TECH-DRY EARTH BINDER is an acrylic-based sealer used to dust-seal and strengthen the internal or external surfaces of earth structures. The product penetrates the capillaries of earth substrate surfaces providing the substrate with a dust-sealing effect and surface abrasion resistance. The treatment will not significantly change the surface appearance and the vapour permeability of the earth buildings. However, a slight sheen or darkening of the surface may occur for some earth structures. EARTH BINDER can also be used as a primer before rendering for earth buildings or other porous substrates to strengthen the surface and improve the adhesion of the render. Due to the pure acrylic formation, EARTH BINDER can be used in wet areas such as kitchens and bathrooms. Must be diluted with water before use.
Features:
Water-based non-toxic formulation
Penetrates into the masonry substrate surface with no peel or blister.
Provides dust-sealing and surface abrasion-resistant effects.
Does not significantly change the surface appearance and vapour permeability.
Improves strength and adhesion of earth substrates before rendering.
Easy application and cost-effective
Sizes 5L and 20L Containers
Application: Roller | Spray
Coverage: 1 – 10m2 per litre per coat, depending on the permeability of the surface and the degree of dust sealing required.
