Application

Product Application – Airtight White Brush

The Airtight White Brush is applied with a standard brush in one or two coats, depending on the detail. Once cured, it forms a strong, seamless airtight barrier ideal for sealing complex junctions and penetrations.

Directions for Use

  1. Preparation
    • Remove dust, grease, loose material, and standing water.
    • Ensure substrates are clean, sound, and closed.
    • Fill large gaps or holes with a suitable cement-based filler or polyurethane foam before application.
  2. Application
    • Apply directly with a brush, working into corners, joints, and penetrations.
    • For larger gaps or where reinforcement is required, apply two coats.
    • Allow the first coat to dry before applying the second.
  3. Conditions
    • Apply only when the substrate and ambient temperature are above 5°C.
    • Application is permitted on slightly humid surfaces, but remove any standing water.
  4. Aftercare
    • Clean tools with water immediately after use.
    • Once cured, the coating provides long-term airtight detailing protection.

Key Benefits During Application

  • Simple, precise brush application
  • Fibre-reinforced for reliable gap bridging
  • Ideal for airtight continuity at tricky details

Typical Application Areas

  • Floor-to-wall connections
  • Wall-to-ceiling connections
  • Window-to-wall junctions
  • Pipe and service penetrations
  • Wall-to-wall connections
  • Vertical and horizontal joints
  • Curtain wall interfaces
  • Wall-to-roof connections (including steel deck)

Description

Airtight White Brush

The Airtight White Brush is a fibre-reinforced liquid-applied membrane, designed for precise airtight detailing where spray application is not suitable. Applied with a brush, it forms a durable, seamless barrier that eliminates uncontrolled air leakage.

Key Features

  • Brush-applied for accurate airtight sealing around difficult details
  • Fibre-reinforced to bridge small gaps, cracks, and junctions
  • Creates a continuous airtight layer across connections and penetrations
  • Strong adhesion to most building substrates
  • VOC-free and safe to use on site

Ideal Applications

  • Window and door junctions
  • Service and pipe penetrations
  • Corners, joints, and connections
  • Retrofit and heritage airtight detailing

The Airtight White Brush ensures every critical junction is sealed, delivering airtight continuity and helping buildings meet the most demanding airtightness standards.
