Overview
DPM Paint is a specialist moisture-proof coating designed to provide a robust damp-proof membrane on masonry, concrete and blockwork. The two-coat system forms a high-performance barrier, helping prevent rising and penetrating damp in basements, cellars and new build slabs.
Key benefits
- Effective damp-proofing: forms a continuous barrier on suitably prepared substrates.
- Versatile substrate use: brick, blockwork, concrete slabs and masonry.
- Easy application: brush, roller or spray; two-coat system for full protection.
- Durable finish: suitable for internal floor slabs and wall areas requiring moisture control.
- Technical compliance: meets relevant regulation/specification for DPM systems (refer to datasheet).
Typical applications
- Basements and cellars requiring DPM protection
- New build slabs over ground where moisture barrier needed
- Masonry and blockwork walls prone to rising/penetrating damp
How to apply
- Ensure substrate is clean, dry, sound and properly prepared.
- Apply first coat with brush, roller or spray at specified rate.
- After drying/cure, apply second coat to complete barrier.
- Allow appropriate cure time before loading or over-coating. See technical datasheet.
Sizes & key data
Pack sizes available per datasheet. Coverage and film build rates as specified in technical data.
Safety & compliance
Refer to the technical datasheet and safety data sheet for full instructions, PPE and handling guidance.
Frequently asked questions
What is DPM Paint used for?
It’s a specialist coating system designed to act as a damp proof membrane on brick, blockwork, concrete and masonry.
How many coats are required?
A two-coat system is recommended for full moisture barrier protection.
Which substrates are suitable?
Brick, blockwork, masonry, concrete slabs — ensure surface is clean, sound and prepared first.
What application methods are supported?
Brush, roller or spray depending on access and site setup.
Is it for internal or external use?
Primarily used internally on basements, cellars and slabs, though specification may allow external use—consult datasheet.
How should I prepare the surface?
Ensure the substrate is clean, dry, free from loose aggregate or contamination, and sound before applying the coating.
When can the area be used after application?
Allow full cure as per datasheet before loading traffic or applying finishes/over-coats.
Are there environmental or compliance considerations?
Refer to the technical datasheet and SDS for full handling, PPE and safe usage guidance.
