Features & Benefits

  • Air & Moisture Barrier: Fully adhered membrane blocks air and bulk water intrusion
  • Vapor Permeable: Allows wall systems to breathe without sacrificing moisture resistance
  • Seamless Application: Thin mil membrane eliminates seams and installs quickly
  • Damp Surface Application: Bonds even to damp substrates for jobsite flexibility
  • Multiple Application Methods: Spray, roll, or brush using standard tools
  • UV Resistant: Withstands up to 6 months of UV exposure before cladding
  • Strong Adhesion: Bonds to OSB, plywood, gypsum sheathing, and CMU
  • Fire-Rated: Class A Surface Burning Rating (flame/smoke tested)
