Damp Proofing and Replastering Systems n BBA certified systems to control rising damp n Plaster and render additives designed for remedial use n Damp proofing systems conforming to BS 6576 www.tritonsystems.co.uk About Triton Systems Triton has been manufacturing a range of chemical dampcourse and other remedial timber and masonry treatments for nearly four decades. The company also supplies systems and products to meet the requirements of all three methods of structural waterproofing as defined by BS 8102 2009 – and was represented on the technical committee responsible for drafting this standard. Triton is the sole UK distributor of Platon cavity drain membranes manufactured by Isola in Norway and also supplies a range of Isola membranes for use in green roof construction. Triton’s range of remedial dampcoursing products includes traditional solvent based systems as well as modern microemulsion and “gel” type water based products for more effective injection and penetration into the structure. Triton’s diverse range is able to deal with all types of construction and building material and also includes products suited to thicker walls and structures with voids or cracks. A network of Triton Approved Contractors have access to the TUG (Triton Users Guarantee) scheme which enables them to offer insurance backed guarantees to their clients following the completion of specialist remedial building works. Training To support architects, surveyors and contractors, a full programme of training courses has been created including Triton’s own courses on damp and timber treatments and waterproofing using cavity drain membranes, as well as three RIBA approved CPD seminars on basement waterproofing and green/ living roofs.

Tri-Gel is a water based and water soluble thixotropic gel which diffuses naturally into damp substrates and reacts to form a water repellent silicone resin network. This network is permeable to water vapour which means the walls can “breathe” and dry out naturally. Injected using a cartridge gun or hand operated compression pump, Tri-Gel eliminates the need for electric pumps on site. Installation: Tri-Gel is injected into 12mm diameter holes, drilled horizontally into the chosen mortar bed at 100 – 120mm centres or at the perp joint, mortar bed junction (brickwork). See below: Technical Data: Potassium Methyl Active ingredient : Siliconate Holes should be drilled to within 20 – 40 mm of the far Appearance: Colourless to yellowish gel face of the wall being treated. Treatment can be carried out from one or both sides of the wall as appropriate and PH: 12 – 13 convenient. Cavity walls would normally be treated from May crystallise at low Melting point: both sides. The holes should be filled to within temperature 10 – 20 mm of the front face of the wall and capped with Flash point: None a plug of sand and cement mortar incorporating Trimix 1 or with a DPC wall plug.
