Product Application

Typical Performance and Application Properties
Performance
• Reduced Energy Consumption - Elemax AWB systems control the flow of air and water through the building envelope and create a contiguous barrier to reduce energy consumption in a building by up to an estimated 35%.
• 100% Silicone Durability - Cured silicone rubber exhibits excellent long-term resistance to natural weathering and extreme temperatures with negligible change in elasticity, whether used on the exterior or interior of a wall system.
• UV Resistant - Exposure for 20+ years without measurable change in properties or performance. Excellent product for use behind open joint and ventilated rain screen claddings.
• Self-sealing - Passes water penetration standards for nails and fasteners when tested at system film thickness. Fastener self-sealing ensures that the AWB performs optimally, after
the building is fully clad.
• Fire Characteristics - NFPA 285: Pass- Acceptable for use in multiple wall assemblies. Meets 2015 IBC exemptions for water-resistive barriers. ASTM E84: Class A Flame Spread and
Smoke Generation.
• Elastomeric - Cures to form a permanently flexible continuous membrane virtually unaffected by temperature extremes.
