ELIMINATE DAMP IN BATHROOMS AND BASEMENTS (above ground)
ARCADAMP will protect your surfaces from problems caused by dampness such as mold and mildew or efflorescence (saltpetre) and peeling paint.
ARCADAMP damp proof paint is a pliolite resin based and cement based paint which will render interior wall surfaces damp proof.
Bonding to the substrate our damp proof paint ARCADAMP will effectively protect the surface from persisting damp flaking paint, saltpetre efflorescence and damp musky smells due to water penetration.
Highly resistant to alkalis and micro-porous, it will protect your wall and prevent water ingress through the structure while allowing the substrate to breathe.
Easy to use, ARCADAMP damp proof paint will dry in only 2 hours and eliminate existing damp.
Used as a preventive product, ARCADAMP damp proof paint will protect your wall surfaces from damage caused by damp.
