Injection Cream Consumption Calculator – An Effective Damp-Proof Barrier
The injection cream consumption calculator is a tool that enables precise estimation of the amount of injection cream needed to create a horizontal damp-proof course. Injection cream works by sealing the capillaries in the wall, preventing capillary rise in structures such as brick or mixed (water-absorbent) masonry.
How does the calculator work?
The calculator allows for quick and accurate calculation of injection cream consumption based on several key construction parameters:
- Wall thickness [cm]
Enter the thickness of the wall, which determines the drilling depth and the amount of material required for the injection. - Wall length [m]
Specify the total length of the wall that will be treated with the horizontal injection. - Drilling depth [cm]
Automatically calculated when another variable is provided. - Drill bit diameter 12 / 14 (selectable)
Choose the diameter of the drill bit. - Injection hole shorter than the wall by 2–4 cm (range)
The calculator factors in leaving a 2–4 cm margin from the full wall thickness when drilling. - Spacing between injection holes
A constant 10 cm between holes – a fixed parameter in the calculation.
What do you get after entering the data?
- 🔧 Injection cream consumption (in liters and kilograms)
The calculator automatically computes cream usage based on the wall length and thickness, drill hole diameter, and hole spacing. - 🔧 Automatic adjustment of hole depth
Based on the wall thickness and selected value, the calculator immediately indicates the required drilling depth (including the 2–4 cm margin relative to the wall thickness). - 🔧 Adaptation to different drill bit diameters
Depending on the selected drill bit diameter, the calculator precisely calculates the amount of cream needed to fill each hole.
Why is it worth using the calculator?
ResinBau injection cream is designed for horizontal injections, creating a damp-proof course in masonry. Thanks to its creamy consistency, the product migrates along capillaries together with moisture, effectively blocking them.
- Moisture protection, not waterproofing – the cream closes capillaries, preventing water from being drawn upward, but it does not create a barrier against water under pressure.
- Precise dosing – the calculator allows for an accurate determination of the amount of material, eliminating the risk of underestimating or overestimating the cream.
- Automatic adjustment – drilling depth and material volume are dynamically matched to the wall thickness and selected parameters.
User guide and additional information
A detailed guide on how to apply the injection cream can be found in the Knowledge section on the ResinBau website, under the title “Cream Injection”.
Practical Tips:
- Remember that cream injection counters dampness but not water under pressure – the cream creates an effective barrier against capillary moisture, but it is not a waterproof solution.
- Always choose the right drilling depth – the calculator automatically adjusts the depth to avoid drilling entirely through the wall.
- Plan the injection for the entire length of the wall – providing the exact length enables a precise calculation of material consumption.
- Pay attention to new renovation plasters, breathable coatings, and proper ventilation – these are crucial for effective moisture control once the injection is complete.
