DPC Compatability, Handling and Storage

Compatibility

Icopal Damp Proof Courses and associated products are compatible with most materials normally associated with building works. However solvent based products and timber preservatives containing solvent may soften bitumen and other products and special care should be taken when selecting materials likely to come into contact with the damp proof course.

If in doubt regarding compatibility contact Icopal Technical Services on 0161 865 4444 for further information.
