A builder today told me that this tanking compound is great for using as a dpm? Not so sure myself. It's called damp shield tanking compound. Anyone used it or know anything similar? http://palacechemicals.co.uk/shop/damp-shield-tanking-compound/#enquiry
Try this stuff, http://www.bond-it.co.uk/index.php?...category_id=82&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=3 That stuff will probably work but if you have problems the company might not give you backing. SDG is like liguid gold, no smell, water base, dries first coat in about 40 min and second coat after another hour. And it's made for DPM up to 90% RH ,should work out around £2.00 m2 , contact me and I will give you the reps details
There are loads of products on the market which can dpm your floor, the only problem you have is covering them! Most of these fast products are just a water based PU product similar to creom, rawmar rapid pu, laybond rapid dpm, sdg etc and have so many pit falls and just not worth bothering with. From a suppliers point of view if you can not do the job with a 'system' the your taking the full responsibility of the job. If the floor blows then who's to blame..dpm...screed...adhesive...product...installer! I guarantee that each manufacturers rep would blame the other and you will fit the bill. I am not saying that these products aren't very good and if it was used for a 'just incase' when fitting a laminate or carpet on a concrete floor then fine but stay clear when your installing hard flooring / real wood, etc The percentages are also quite low usually around max 90%, which is pretty pointless really as you need this gives you a 50/50 chance of being able to use it.
Hi Matt I have always been a strong believer in one supplier for one specification, doesn't allow any wiggle room if things go wrong. I know what your saying about these types of products and if you and your client have the money and time then two coats of resin its hard to better for a belts and braces job! But if a manufacture does a full spec and its carried out correctly then they don't normally go wrong, If they are that bad then why would they make then, to use a similar analogy to the gypsum screeds, I had 5,000m2 of flooring go wrong because I believed Creom years ago, so I know the pitfalls, to be fair to them it was in a different country and a different sand was used in the screed, so they are not totally to blame. But I have used a mixture of resins and SDG over the years and touch wood haven't had a problem, It's all about testing,Specification, preparation
