Moisture-Flex Fluid Applied Weather Resistant Barrier
Description
Moisture-Flex is a ready mixed 100% acrylic, elastomeric moisture resistant barrier. Direct applied to substrates this protective membrane minimizes the potential of water damage to sheathing materials.
Color
White
Container
50 pounds net weight / 5-gallon pail
Use
When properly applied Moisture-Flex provides an effective air barrier and water resistive membrane in a protective coating for use with exterior wall coatings and systems.
Adhesion
Good adhesion to properly prepared substrates.
Vapor Permeable
Not a complete vapor barrier
Coverage
Approximately 350 - 600 square feet per 5 gallon container when applied at required thickness. Coverage may vary depending on substrate & application method.
Shelf Life
One year, if protected from direct sunlight and freezing temperatures
Drying Time
Approximately 4 hours to the touch, depending on climate. Minimum 24 hours dry time prior to Adhesive/EPS applications or covering. Temperatures and humidity make effect dry times.
Storage
Protect from freezing. Store in a cool, dry area tightly sealed. Recommended storage temperature between 40-90 F.
Clean-up
Water soluble while wet.
Limitations
- Ambient and surface temperatures must be above 40 F during application and drying period.
- Never use Moisture-Flex as a final coat.
- Not recommend for below grade applications
- Not recommended for bridging cracks greater than 1/16" in substrate systems.
Surface Preparation
Substrate must be clean, dry and free from all loose or foreign materials and above freezing temperatures prior to application.
Application
Moisture-Flex may be applied by brush, roller, or appropriate spray equipment. Roller application requires a 3/4" nap length.
Minimum dry coating thickness shall be 10 mils absent of pinholes, voids, and provide for a uniform coating membrane.
