High technology, fibre reinforced polymer emulsion applied with a paintbrush. Dries to form a permanent flexible airtight vapour control membrane (AVCM).
Airtight White Liquid Brush vapour control membrane is a much thicker airtight vapour control paint. It is the paintbrush applied version of Airtight White. For small projects, such as private houses, Airtight White Brush can be used with a flat paintbrush. In this case, an airless spray device is not needed. The wall/ ceiling connections also need to be made airtight, especially when the connections are made of two different types of construction materials such as red brick/ concrete or steel/ concrete.
Different construction materials react differently to changes in humidity and temperature, moving at different rates, which can lead to small cracks in plaster or another type of finishing. That movement can create air leaks that cause your building’s energy performance to suffer and potentially open the gateway for damp and mould to appear. Both products can be used for these wall/ceiling connections: Airtight White, vapour control membrane can be applied with an airless paint spray device. Or Airtight White Brush vapour control paint can be applied by brush.
High technology, fibre-reinforced polymer emulsion applied with a paintbrush. Dries to form a permanent vapour control membrane.
Service penetrations can be the downfall of any air tightness or flexible membrane testing. Airtight White and Airtight White Brush vapour control paint are applied around objects that penetrate any surface to the external envelope, sealing where most tapes and membranes fail.
Before you apply Airtight White or Airtight White Brush, first apply polyurethane foam around any penetrations. After hardening, remove the excess foam and apply a generous amount of Airtight White Brush with a flat paintbrush. In all cases, apply a sufficient, well-covering layer for reliable airtightness and a guaranteed airtight membrane.
Airtight White vapour control membrane can be applied (and is tested) on different construction materials such as concrete, brick, wood, PVC, aluminium and polyurethane foam. With a coat of Airtight White, the whole window/door reveal can be made airtight.
A polymer-based paste which is applied with a paintbrush and dries to an airtight vapour control membrane (AVCM) with excellent adhesion on different substrates.
