Description

Vandex Injection Mortar (VIM) is a product specially developed to stop rising damp in old brick- and stonework structures, granite boulder walls etc. Vandex Injection Mortar consists of Portland cement, specially treated quartz sand and a compound of active chemicals. By means of a chemical reaction between reactive salts in the structure, moisture and the Vandex chemicals a crystalline growth will take place which will block all pores and fine cracks. When Vandex Injection Mortar is injected into holes drilled at regular intervals where the damp-proof course (DPC) is required, this crystalline growth will spread into the area adjacent to each core of Vandex Injection Mortar (VIM) and will thus create a barrier which moisture cannot pass. The mortar will tend to fill any fine cracks and voids and will set to form a solid plug thus replacing the material removed by the drilling operation.

Benefits

• Barrier against rising damp in any type of masonry
• Suited also for stonework
• Ready-mix powder for making injection mortar
