DAMP PROOF COURSESVisqueen Zedex CPT DAMP PROOF COURSE——Excellent peformance under high compressive loads.——Out performs all other high performance flexible DPC and cavity tray systems.——Contains no hazardous pitch or PVC plasticizers making it safe and clean to handle.——System components for all applications including standard and bespoke Preformedcavity tray (cloak) units.——Low permeability to Radon and Carbon Dioxide gas.DESCRIPTIONVisqueen Zedex CPT High PerformanceDamp Proof Course (DPC) and cavitytray system is manufactured from copolymerthermoplastic (CPT) providingall the characteristics necessary for itto perform effectively for the lifetime ofthe building in which it is incorporated.Visqueen Zedex CPT DPC providessuperior strength, tear resistance andflexibility and is compatible with all otherVisqueen damp proofing, gas proofingand tanking protection systems.APPLICATIONVisqueen Zedex CPT DPC is suitablefor use as a DPC in all types of buildingconstruction and can be used in vertical,horizontal, stepped and cavity trayapplications.On siteHigh tear and puncture resistantcharacteristics help avoid the failurescaused by damage during installation,such as clearing mortar droppings out ofthe cavity, general manhandling on siteand during transport. Independent testingshows the tear strength of VisqueenZedex CPT DPC to be many times that oftraditional pitch polymer DPCs.AestheticsVisqueen Zedex CPT DPC is alsoavailable in a range of colours tomatch the mortar or outer leaf. Themost popular colours are white andsandstone. Our technical departmentwill be happy to assist you with productspecifications.mortar adhesionVisqueen Building Productscommissioned Ceram BuildingTechnology to test Visqueen ZedexCPT DPC under BSI’s DD86 Part 11983 for flexural bond strength andshear strength. These independenttests show that Visqueen Zedex CPTDPC has excellent mortar adhesioncharacteristics. With DPCs being usedextensively outside the original groundlevel applications, understanding theeffect of a damp proof course onwall strength becomes increasinglyimportant.CompatibilityVisqueen Zedex CPT DPC avoids therisks of any incompatibility betweenthe damp proof course and other dampor waterproofing materials. It can beused with a wide range of productssuch as silicon mastics without causingdiscolouration, and bituminous liquidDPMs. Such compatibility is essential toensure a continuous waterproof barrierfor the lifetime of the building.Clean and safe to handle, the materialsused in Visqueen Zedex CPT DPC arechemically stable and inert, free of bothsolvents and aggressive chemicals.Visqueen Zedex CPT DPC is also cleanand safe to use, requiring no specialconditions for storage, transportation,handling, usage or recycling.——Fully recyclable.——Strong and flexible.——Robust and puncture resistant.——High tear strength.——Excellent workability in winterconditions.importantFull technical informationis available atwww.visqueenbuilding.co.uk/dpc8
