Description

Polyguard Blue Barrier™ Liquid Flashing (BB LF) is a high-performance, fluid-applied flashing designed to provide a fully adhered, weather-resistant air barrier system for windows and door installations. Formulated with advanced Silyl Terminated Polyether (STPE) technology, this one-component flashing adheres tenaciously to a wide range of substrates — even in wet or dry conditions — and can be exposed to UV for up to 9 months. BB LF comes in a 20oz sausage tube and is applied using a sausage gun and trowel.

Features & Benefits

  • No Mixing Required: Ready-to-use with no primer necessary.
  • Flexible & Durable: Remains flexible after cure, resists cracking and weather wear.
  • Superior Adhesion: Bonds exceptionally to a wide variety of substrates including:
    • Untreated OSB/Plywood
    • Concrete
    • CMU block
    • Metal
    • ICF
    • Gypsum sheathing
  • Vapor Permeable: Allows substrates to breathe while maintaining air and moisture protection.
  • Environmentally Friendly: Low VOC (< 20 g/l), solvent-free, isocyanate-free.
  • Long UV Exposure: Can be left exposed to sunlight for up to 9 months.
  • Easy Application: High viscosity for clean trowel or gun application.

Recommended Applications

  • Window and door rough openings
  • Joints between dissimilar materials
  • Seams in sheathing
  • Penetrations and transitions in building envelopes

Common Substrates:

  • Untreated plywood or OSB
  • CMU block
  • Concrete
  • Metal
  • ICF (Insulated Concrete Forms)
  • Gypsum sheathing

Application Details

Tools Required:

  • Sausage gun
  • Plastic trowel or putty knife (2"–4")
  • Optional: beveled siding for positive sill slope
  • Mil gauge

Steps:

  1. Prepare the Surface: Clean all rough openings and adjacent sheathing of dust, dirt, and debris.
  2. Positive Slope: Add beveled siding to sills if required by the window manufacturer.
  3. Gap Filler: Fill gaps larger than 1/4" using Blue Barrier™ Gap Filler before flashing.
  4. Apply Flashing:
    • Use a serpentine bead pattern on jambs and headers, then trowel to 25 mils thickness.
    • Cover entire rough opening, extending at least 4” onto adjacent sheathing.
    • Repeat around the exterior sheathing perimeter.
  5. Cure: Allow ~30 minutes for setup. It may feel tacky, but as long as it doesn’t transfer to your finger, it’s ready.
  6. Window Install: Install window per manufacturer instructions. BB LF can be used as a perimeter sealant.
  7. Final Seal: Apply BB LF over top and side flanges of window to tie in with the existing membrane. Leave the bottom flange unflashed to allow drainage.

Coverage: Approx. 64 sq. ft. per gallon at 25 mils thickness (actual coverage may vary).
