PASSIVE PURPLEĀ® EXTERNAL BRUSH
Fibre reinforced, brush applied facade membrane that seals external joints and gaps. Airtight, waterproof, breathable and UV resistant. VOC free and water based. 5kg tin for details and retrofits.
Product Application ā Passive Purple External Brush
The Passive Purple External Brush is a brush-applied airtight membrane designed for sealing detailed junctions, penetrations, and small areas where spray application is not practical. Once cured, it forms a durable, seamless airtight barrier suitable for a wide range of construction substrates.

Directions for Use
Key Application Benefits
Weatherproof the details that fail first. Passive Purple External Brush is a fibre reinforced, liquid applied weather barrier designed to seal joints, gaps and junctions on external facades. The specialised fibres let it span larger gaps and irregular surfaces, giving a durable, flexible seal where tapes and silicones struggle.
Specify with confidence. Water based and VOC free, it forms a tough, watertight yet breathable airtight layer that resists wind, rain and UV exposure while letting the building fabric release vapour - intelligent breathability from the Passivhaus certified Passive Purple range.
Use it on external walls, roofs and weather exposed junctions, window and door reveals, connection joints and penetrations, on new build and retrofit projects targeting energy efficiency or Passivhaus certification. Supplied in 5kg tins and brush applied for precise coverage of detail areas with minimal waste.
System products: pair with Passive Purple External Spray/Roller (10kg) for full facade coverage.
