Westox Damp-Course and Cocoon Systems

Accredited application of specialist Australian systems for rising damp and salt-contaminated masonry.

01

Chemical damp-course systems

Where an existing damp course is missing or has failed, a correctly specified chemical-injection system may be used to control rising ground moisture. Preparation, injection layout and compatible reinstatement all matter to the outcome.

02

Removing damaging salts with Cocoon

Westox Cocoon is a poultice made from high-porosity filter material. It is applied to contaminated masonry so soluble salts are drawn into the material as it dries, then removed with the spent poultice.

03

Specify the system after inspection

The treatment depends on the wall construction, moisture source, salt loading and condition of existing finishes. BRW inspects the building before recommending a damp-course, Cocoon treatment or coordinated combination.

Common questions

Useful answers before an inspection.

What is Westox Cocoon?

Westox Cocoon is a porous poultice system designed to draw soluble salts from contaminated masonry.

How does Cocoon remove salts?

The applied material introduces moisture that dissolves surface salts, then draws that moisture and salt into the poultice as it dries before removal.

Is Cocoon the same as a damp course?

No. Cocoon removes salts from masonry. A chemical damp course controls rising ground moisture; both may form part of a suitable treatment sequence.

Start with a clear diagnosis and a properly defined scope.
