Removing salts from masonry

Cocoon is a poultice product designed specifically to remove salts associated with rising and lateral damp from masonry walls. It is particularly well suited to sandstone and sensitive masonry.

Chemical-injection dampcourses

Where an existing damp course is missing or has failed, a chemical-injection system may form part of the permanent remedial solution. The surrounding salt damage and finishes must also be considered.

Assessment before specification

The appropriate system depends on the wall construction, moisture source, salt loading and condition of existing finishes. We inspect first and specify the treatment to suit the property.

Common questions

Useful answers before an inspection.

What is Westox Cocoon?

It is a specialist poultice system designed to draw damaging salts from masonry affected by rising or lateral damp.

Can Cocoon be used on sandstone?

Yes. The system is particularly effective on sandstone, subject to assessment of the material and damp source.

Is Cocoon the same as a damp course?

No. Cocoon removes salts from masonry. A chemical-injection dampcourse controls rising ground moisture; the two systems may be used together when appropriate.
