Rising dampness in super structure causes paint and plaster to peel off. Similarly it causes wood to smell and warp, allows a total fungal growth thereby leading to the deterioration of the structure. Samafit VK damp proofing chemical eliminates this problem by sealing the wall and providing an impermeable barrier to the passage of the walls. It enters the capillaries and convert the hydroscopic to hydrophobic by the process of silicification. Being a two component product it has to introduce into a zigzag pre-drilled holes separately after proper timing gap. The two components reacts in the capillaries and form product which makes the capillary non wettable. Therefore the water does not rise in the capillaries against the gravity but depresses and controls the rising dampness. Samafit VK therefore protects the structures from the dampness which normally encourages the moss and fungus growth and root growth. The walls are rendered dry for better plastering and painting. It can be universally used whereas the water ingress is due to capillary action. Samafit VK can be effectively used for masonry super structures as well pores construction materials which are unconventional. It can be very effectively used for old structures, monuments, and for structures in area which are having high water table as to prevent the rising dampness occurring due to splashing rains in the lower unprotected zones. It is most efficient in solving the problems of the capillary action.
