Description


Passive Purple External Brush: The Ultimate Airtight Membrane for Precise Application

Passive Purple External Brush is a top-tier, brush-applied airtight membrane designed to provide complete airtightness and moisture protection, even in the most challenging areas. It’s a breathable and vapour-permeable membrane that allows moisture vapor to escape while preventing external air and water infiltration, making it ideal for creating an airtight building envelope.

Why Passive Purple External Brush is the Best Airtight Membrane:

  • Enhanced Airtightness & Vapour Control: Reduces air leakage and heat loss, improving energy efficiency and indoor climate control.
  • Breathable & Watertight: Prevents moisture ingress while allowing the substrate to breathe, reducing condensation and mold risk.
  • Precise Application: Easily applied with a brush for detailing and small, hard-to-reach areas, ensuring complete coverage.
  • Versatile Use: Suitable for timber frame, concrete, masonry, and other surfaces, making it a reliable choice for new builds and retrofit projects.
  • Long-Term Durability: UV-resistant, crack-bridging, and suitable for both internal and external applications.

Applications:

  • Airtight Sealing of Joints and Gaps: Ideal for sealing gaps and joints where traditional spray application is not feasible.
  • Creating an Airtight Building Envelope: Ensures air and moisture control in Passivhaus and Net Zero projects.

Benefits of Using Passive Purple External Brush:

  • Improves energy efficiency by reducing air permeability.
  • Contributes to achieving airtightness and thermal performance standards.
  • Compatible with other Intelligent Membranes products to form a complete, high-performance building envelope solution.
