CORROPRUFE DPC
Polymer Modified Fibre Felt Damp Proof Course

CORROPRUFE DPC is a high performance polymer INSTALLATION

modified bitumen damp proof course manufactured to
comply with pertinent properties of BS 6398 (formerly BS
743) by using state-of-the-art technology. The unique nature
of this closely guarded technology involving processing
polymers at high temperature affords protection to the
elastomer in the blend, which imparts high flexibility even
at low and high temperatures and provides a total
impermeable barrier against ingress of water.
CORROPRUFE DPC is available in sanded version also.
Damp proof courses are intended to provide a barrier to
the passage of moisture or water from the exterior of the
building to the interior, or from the ground to the structure
or from one part of the structure to another.
Damp proof courses must extend through the full thickness
of the brick work / block work and project beyond the external
face by at least 5mm.

USES Damp proof courses must be laid on an even bed of mortar

and any lap joints in DPC should have an overlap of 10mm
