PROPAM CAL Sec the solution that evaporates dampness

Molins has added PROPAM CAL Sec, the solution that evaporates dampness that appears in basements, walls and lower parts of houses, to its suite of ‘essential technical products to get the house ready’.

Bearing in mind that damp is one of the most common problems in homes– it causesone out of every four building pathologies – the company has put on the market a quick solution that directly eliminates the effects of capillary damp, i.e. damp that appears accompanied by stains at the base of walls and partition walls in basements or ground floors.

A solution depending on the source of the moisture

The solution will depend on its type and origin. Thus, if the damp appears in the walls and walls of the lower parts of the home, we will speak, in most cases, of capillary damp. On the other hand, if the water penetrates through the walls, façades or roofs, we will be dealing with a problem of damp or leaks due to filtration. Finally, condensation damp, typical of interiors, arises as a result of water vapour coming into contact with a cold surface or due to an excessive concentration of water vapour in the atmosphere.

Precisely to prevent rising damp coming from the ground and reaching the brick or block that forms the wall, which can cause aesthetic damage and even deterioration of the building structure, the company proposes applying Propam Cal Sec coating mortar, a solution that accelerates the release of water in the form of vapour and prevents the formation of saline deposits that cause unsightly stains.

As it is impermeable to rainwater, it also protects façades against filtration from the outside. In addition, its lime-based composition makes it breathable to the passage of moisture, high performance and very adherent, and even its white colour allows it to be used as a final finish. It also stands out for its durability, especially in places close to the sea or damp terrain.

With this solution, which is complemented by others that stop other types of damp, Molins thus reinforces its Propam Tec range, a selection of essential products to improve the image of the home inside and out, in a context in which the health crisis has made us focus on the care of our homes and has led us to increase the number of renovations.

This range, which is segmented according to its professional use in the families of repair, waterproofing, flooring, grouts and anchors, is characterised precisely by its versatility, its quick and easy application and its quality and maximum performance; guarantees that respond to the more than 85 years of innovation and experience of Molins in the sector of the manufacture of construction materials.
