As the UK construction industry continues to evolve under stricter fire safety regulations and growing sustainability demands, innovation is not just welcome— it’ s essential. Leading the charge is Damex FR, the revolutionary Non- Combustible Damp Proof Course( DPC) & Cavity Tray system that’ s redefining performance, safety, and environmental responsibility in one flexible, installer-friendly solution.
Built for Performance. Designed for Safety. Damex FR isn’ t just another building product— it’ s a game-changer. Engineered for high-performance, Damex FR achieves an A2-s1, d0 fire classification under EN13501-1:2018. This positions it among the safest materials available for damp proofing and cavity tray applications— a crucial factor for buildings where fire safety is paramount.

Whether working in cold, challenging conditions or navigating complex wall junctions, Damex FR’ s superior flexibility ensures smooth, easy installation. Installers will appreciate the sitefriendly approach— from simplified corner formation to the intuitive application process and complete range of ancillary components.

• Non-combustible system( A2-s1, d0 classified)
• Tested to BS EN 14909:2012 and BS EN13501- 1:2018
• Up to 90 % less packaging waste when used with Damex FR Adhesive in foil sausage format

Sustainable by Design Sustainability is no longer an afterthought— it’ s a project priority. Damex FR helps contractors meet their environmental goals through smart design choices that reduce site waste and carbon emissions. The non-combustible adhesive, supplied in foil sausage, uses 15 to 20 times less plastic packaging than standard cartridges. Once used, these foils collapse completely, making transport and disposal significantly more efficient. In practical terms, one truckload of traditional empty cartridges can be replaced by a single pallet of spent foils, slashing transport volume and cutting CO 2 emissions.
Even better? Each foil sausage delivers 58 % more sealant than standard options— that’ s less packaging, fewer refills, and more time focused on the task at hand.

Damex FR is supported by the KIWA BDA Agrément certificate— an internationally recognised stamp of quality that guarantees compliance, performance, and reliability. It’ s not just certified. It’ s trusted.
