Experimental study of the distribution of chemical products against rising damp in substrates with different water saturation degrees

► Curing, spreading and effectiveness of 15 injection products were investigated. ► Curing time and percentage of components left after curing varied greatly among products. ► These differences depended on solvent type and form (liquid or crème) of product. ► Spreading of products in (wet) bricks was strongly affected by the solvent type. ► Liquid silane/siloxane products in water showed the best spreading in wet bricks.
