Application

Passive purple external is applied in 2 coats with an airless spray or paint roller which dries to form a flexible watertight membrane which is currently undergoing Passivhaus and Kiwa certification. The membrane forms a waterproof vapour open-faced membrane which can be used to reduce uncontrolled air filtration, the product also achieves a reaction to fire classification of B-s1, d0 to EN 13501- 1:2018.


Directions of use:

  • Remove salt efflorescence, dust, loose parts and standing water from the surface.
  • Apply on a closed surface; if necessary, fill holes and joints with a fast setting cement-based product or polyurethane foam.
  • Apply Passive Purple External at T < 5°C (also substrate temperature).
  • Application on humid surfaces is allowed, but remove standing water.
  • Do NOT add water or solvents.
  • Do NOT apply in full sunlight.
  • Do NOT apply during rain.
  • Apply Passive Purple External with an airless paint spray device, or paint roll, in two layers. Apply the second layer, after the first layer has dried.
  • Clean tools with water after use.
  • The product is ready to use.
  • Volatile organic content (VOC) free.

Description

Discover Passive Purple External: The Ultimate Waterproofing Solution for Any Construction Project
