Product Information
Full details
This guide is for homeowners and builders seeking to protect concrete floors and walls from moisture. The Rempro Damp Proof Paint offers a quick-drying, water-based solution to create a robust waterproofing barrier, preventing damp issues in extensions, basements, and cellars. A key benefit is its suitability for application on damp substrates, allowing for immediate follow-on floor finishes. However, it's crucial to ensure the painted surface is not exposed to wet conditions before it has fully dried.

FAQs
Can this paint be applied to walls as well as floors?
Yes, the Rempro Damp Proof Paint is suitable for application on damp concrete floor slabs, screeds, and walls.
How long does it take for the paint to dry?
The paint is quick-drying, typically drying in approximately 1 hour, allowing for a second coat to be applied relatively soon after.
What is the coverage rate required for effective waterproofing?
A coverage rate of approximately 1 litre/m² (two coats) is required to achieve the minimum dried coating thickness of 0.6mm necessary for a vapour barrier.
Can I apply this paint on a very wet concrete slab?
The paint is designed for damp substrates, but excessive standing water should be removed. It's important that the paint is not exposed to wet conditions before it has dried.
Is this product safe to use indoors?
Yes, the damp proof paint is non-toxic, non-hazardous, and free from solvents and plasticisers, making it suitable for indoor use when applied correctly.
What temperature should I store the paint in?
When not in use, paint should be stored in a sealed container between +5°C and +35°C and protected from frost and direct sunlight.
Can I lay carpet or laminate flooring immediately after painting?
While the paint dries quickly, it's recommended to allow the final membrane to fully cure as per manufacturer instructions before installing floor finishes. This ensures optimal performance and adhesion of the flooring.
Troubleshooting
Paint not drying as expected
Ensure the ambient temperature is within the recommended range (+5°C to +35°C) and that there is adequate ventilation. Avoid application in excessively humid conditions.
Surface remains damp after application
The paint itself is designed to create a barrier. If the substrate is still excessively wet, it may take longer to dry. Ensure sufficient coats have been applied and allow adequate drying time. If the issue persists, reassess the source of the damp.
Poor adhesion or peeling
Ensure the surface was adequately prepared and free from dust, oil, or loose material before application. For optimal adhesion, the concrete should be sound.
Uneven finish
Ensure consistent application technique with the brush or roller for both coats. Stir the paint thoroughly before and during application.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Water-based for easy application and cleanup.
- Quick drying time (approx. 1 hour).
- Suitable for use on damp concrete surfaces.
- Acts as a barrier for new floor finishes.
- Non-toxic and free from solvents and plasticisers.
Cons
- Requires specific dry conditions for application and drying.
- Minimum dried coating thickness of 0.6mm is necessary for vapour barrier function.
- Requires two coats to achieve the necessary thickness, increasing application time.
Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Preparation:
Ensure the concrete floor slab, screed, or wall is free from loose debris, dust, and oil. While the paint is suitable for damp substrates, excessive standing water should be removed.
Application:
- Apply using a brush or roller.
- Apply the first coat evenly.
- Allow approximately 1 hour for the first coat to dry before applying the second coat.
- Apply the second coat at a right angle to the first.
- A minimum dried coating thickness of 0.6mm is required for vapour barrier effectiveness, which necessitates a coverage rate of approximately 1 litre/m² (for two coats).
- Do not apply in wet conditions or if rain is expected before the paint has dried.
Compatibility:
Suitable for use on damp concrete floor slabs, screeds, and walls. It is designed to isolate damp substrates for new floor finishes including carpets and laminated flooring. Can be used as a primary waterproofing barrier on new build basements before installing Ultra GEO membrane and land drain.
Care & Storage:
- Store paint in a sealed container when not in use.
- Storage temperature should be between +5°C and +35°C.
- Protect from frost and direct sunlight.
