Dryshield Cream 5 L – Breathable Salt-Resistant Primer for Plastering After Rising Damp Treatment
 
Dryshield Cream 5 L is a high-performance, salt-resistant primer specially formulated for use in the Dryzone System—a faster replastering solution following rising damp treatment. This breathable, water-repelling cream is designed to protect decorative finishes by weakening salt crystallisation on damp-contaminated masonry.
When applied to affected internal walls, Dryshield Cream penetrates the surface, reducing the strength of harmful salts as the wall dries. The result: a safer substrate for the next step—Drygrip Adhesive—ensuring your plaster or plasterboard finish avoids salt-related damage and premature failure.
