Mix D40 Hydrolock (liquid) with F60 Fusionlock (powder), to create a slurry sealer. If a thickerplaster mixture is required, proceed to use less D40 Hydrolock (liquid) solution. Wet Surface:
Remove any loose or flaking paint from the surface to ensure proper adhesion of subsequent treatments.
Apply Dampfin slurry (D40 and F60) using a brush, or alternatively, plaster the thicker mixture directly to the wet, prepared surface.
Allow the treated areas to dry completely.
Apply D40 Hydrolock (liquid) to repaired areas.
Once fully dried, apply the appropriate paint to the treated surfaces.
Dry Surface:
Remove any loose or flaking paint from the surface to ensure proper adhesion of subsequent treatments.
Apply Dampfin D40 Hydrolock to prepared surface where applicable.
Apply Dampfin slurry (D40 and F60) using a brush, or alternatively, plaster the thicker mixture directly to the affected areas.
Allow the treated areas to dry completely.

In the context of water pressure as it pertains to waterproofing systems, two primary forms of hydrostatic pressure must be considered: positive and negative pressure. Understanding the difference between these pressures is crucial in the application and performance of waterproofing solutions.
Positive Hydrostatic Pressure refers to the force exerted by water or moisture that is applied directly against a waterproofing system. This pressure effectively compresses the waterproofing layer against the substrate or base upon which it is applied. In this scenario, the waterproofing material is supported by the structure it protects, preventing water ingress.
Negative Hydrostatic Pressure, conversely, refers to the pressure exerted by water that infiltrates or penetrates through the structure, applying force in the opposite direction of the waterproofing. This reverse pressure seeks to dislodge or separate the waterproofing layer from the surface to which it was applied, often compromising the system’s integrity. Water under negative pressure also exerts hydrostatic force, but in reverse, attempting to force water through the waterproofing layer.
Humidity caused by negative hydrostatic pressure arises when water is pressurized from within a structure, forcing its way outward. If the appropriate waterproofing solution is not applied, this pressure can lead to issues such as peeling paint, mould, and mildew. Therefore, addressing moisture caused by negative pressure requires a specialized treatment plan, as the selection and application of the correct waterproofing agent is crucial. The integrity of the structure itself, not just its appearance, can be compromised if negative pressure is not properly mitigated.
When undertaking a negative pressure moisture treatment, it is imperative to evaluate the specific conditions and needs of the structure. For instance, if the moisture problem originates in a basement of the building must be thoroughly assessed. Moreover, the causes of humidity vary, and thus, the choice of products and the method of application must be tailored to each unique situation.
In conclusion, recognizing the differences between negative and positive pressure waterproofing is essential, as the appropriate choice of product can prevent significant structural issues and costly repairs.
