Britannia Damp Proof Paint incorporates a water reactive agent to take care of residual surface moisture on damp interior walls.

Ready for use on damp interior wall surfaces including brick, concrete, cement and plaster (not breeze blocks), either as a primer /sealer prior to overpainting or as a finish in its own right.

Please note, this does not remove the need to repair any structural faults which allow water to penetrate into the fabric of the wall.
