Application

  • Passive Purple is applied with an airless spray machine, such as the Graco 495, Graco 595 or similar products. Passive Purple airtight liquid adheres to most substrates known to the construction industry. From Blockwork, Concrete, OSB, MgO Board, Spray applied & PIR insulation, Timber and Steel. A build with multiple substrate changes is an easy task to perform unlike traditional methods.
  • Floor/ wall connections.
  • Wall/ ceiling connections.
  • Entire walls.
  • Wall/ wall connections.
  • Vertical and horizontal joints.

Description

A BBA-certified, airtight vapour control air barrier coating that is applied with an airless spray device on all areas of an external envelope (warm side of the insulation) of a building. This includes those difficult connection areas to the floor, wall, roof and joist. When used on the warm side of the insulation, it can be applied to either face of the external envelope. To install, ensure the material or surface is dust-free.


Features and benefits:

  • The product is ready to use.
  • Fluid applied
  • Air barrier
  • Vapour control
  • Radon barrier
  • Memthane barrier
  • Volatile organic content (VOC), carcinogenic, ammonia and formaldehyde-free.
  • British Board of Agrément (BBA) and PASSIVHAUS certified.
  • A Passivhaus certified score of 0.03 ACH which is 20x lower than the required 0.6 air changes per hour (ACH).
  • Can guarantee a score of 0.6 ACH.
  • A single installer can apply up to 300 m² of Passive Purple a day using an airless spray device. Construction is sped up, and labour costs are dramatically reduced with this easy airtight pain.
  • M1 class.
  • Passive Purple is a fully BBA-certified Liquid Airtight Vapour Control Layer.
  • Passive Purple offers a Radon Barrier to eliminate radon gases entering your building.
  • A single installer can apply up to 300 m² of Passive Purple a day using an airless spray device. This speeds up the construction time and dramatically cuts labour costs.
  • Passive Purple airtight vapour control is a certified Passivhaus component.
  • Passive Purple is an M1 class, VOC-free water-based product. Zero nasty chemicals make it friendly for the user and the environment.
  • Passive Purple is rated Fire Class C, unlike paper membranes which are rated Fire Class E.
  • With a Passivhaus certified score of 0.03ach (20x lower than the required 0.6ach) Passive Purple can guarantee you a score of 0.6ach (air changes per hour) and under.
