Flexible Latex Copolymer Air Barrier &
Waterproofing Membrane

Product Description:
DUREX BLUE SHIELD is is a single component, liquid applied, water-based copolymer rubber air barrier and waterproofing membrane. Applied by roller, trowel or spray equipment, it cures to form a tough, seamless, elastomeric membrane, which is resistant to air leakage and water ingress under hydrostatic pressure. In its liquid state, DUREX BLUE SHIELD is light blue in colour and cures to a translucent dark blue colour.

Uses:
DUREX BLUE SHIELD is used as an air barrier within the building envelope and as a seamless waterproofing membrane. It may be applied to most common surfaces and integrated into various wall systems in both new construction and restoration. DUREX BLUE SHIELD is a Class III Air Barrier and a water penetration barrier at a maximum wet or dry film thickness of 0.39 mm. Typical uses are:

• Water penetration/air barrier for EIFS application
• New & existing foundation walls
• Plywood, cement board & exterior grade gypsum board sheathingx
• Exterior walls of mechanical and electrical rooms
• Split slab waterproofing
• ICF - Insulated Concrete Forms

Advantages:

• Highly flexible, bridges cracks up to 1/16" which may form in the substrate
• Liquid application assures a monolithic, seamless membrane
• Prevents air leakage a water ingress through porous building materials
• Remains firmly bonded to the substrate even when applied over damp surfaces
• Water-based technology allows for simple, safe application and easy clean up
• Can be sprayed
• Excellent for waterproofing foundation walls constructed with ICF (Insulated Concrete Forms)
• Results in a paintable finish
