Blowerproof Liquid 'Brush' "Handypack" - A Paint On Airtight Sealing Membrane (2.5kg)

A great size pack to keep handy for smaller jobs and sealing penetrations, keep one in your van.

The water based polymer is brush applied to create an uninterrupted air and vapour -tight seal around penetrations, and for floor / wall connections, wall / ceiling joints, and roof connections

Blowerproof liquid creates a seamless, continuous air and vapour -tight seal over cracks and gaps. Because the seal perfectly follows the contours of the substrate and in combination with the high flexibility and superior adhesion, the connections remain airtight over the long term. Blowerproof liquid is the fast, flexible and durable solution for all airtight connections.

Ideal for sealing

• Service penetrations, pipes, cable, ducting etc
• Floor to wall junctions
• Ceiling to wall junctions
• Window / door jambs
• Steel decks

Blowerproof Liquid Brush "Handypack" comes in a re-sealable 2.5kg tub. Allow up to 1kg per square metre on highly porous surfaces for non porous surfaces allow 750grams per square metre. Also available as Blowerproof Liquid Spray - please call for the spray version.

One 2.5kg tub will cover approximately 41 linear metres at 75mm wide.

Price is per tub

Blowerproof Liquid Brush is a fibre reinforced paste designed for application with a brush,

NB. There is also a spray version for larger / commercial projects you can see more about Blowerproof Liquid Spray by clicking on the 'More Info' tab above. If you have a larger project the spray version may be your best option, please call us for pricing on our applicator service

General application guidance

• Remove dust and loose particles; remove surface contaminants which may affect adhesion. Treat blemishes; fill holes and cracks ≥3 mm
• Do not apply when (surface) temperature < 5 ° C
• Blowerproof Liquid Brush is ready for use, do not dilute with water or solvents; briefly mixing with hand mixer
• Use a square brush
• Apply thick enough to ensure air-tightness; indicative consumption: 1.0 kg / m²
• Avoid during the drying phase contact with any kind of water, other liquids or construction chemicals
• Cleaning Material: immediately after use with water
• At least 24 hours to 48 hours to dry before applying another material on the dried - black - finish. (During drying, the colour changes from blue to black).

Typical Applications

Pipes & Penetrations

Numerous energy test reports, performed at the end of a construction project, show that pipe penetrations are in many cases a cause for not obtaining the requested level of airtightness. 

For the airtight sealing of of pipe penetrations: first plug gaps wider than 5mm with Blowerptoof Gap Filling Mortar or polyurethane foam around the pipe penetrations; then apply 2 layers of Blowerproof Liquid Brush with a flat paintbrush; in all cases, apply a sufficient, well covering layer to guarantee airtightness.

Window jambs

Apply a protective tape at max. 5 mm from the side of the profile. This tape needs to be removed shortly after finishing the application of Blowerproof Liquid Brush.  
 

Floor to Wall

In order to obtain a sufficient airtightness of a building, it is important to make the floor/wall connections on the inside of a building airtight. 

Blowerproof Liquid is an airtight coating which is sprayed with an airless spray device on these floor/wall connections. The substrate must be dust free, solid and free from large cracks or gaps before starting the application. Holes and joints need to be plugged beforehand: large holes and joints (> 5mm) can be repaired with a fast setting cement based product or polyurethane foam, small holes and joints (2-5mm) can be sealed with Blowerproof Liquid Brush.

For larger projects Blowerproof Liquid can be sprayed with an airless paint spray device; this fast application method allows applying up to 300 linear meters per day. See more  by clicking on the 'More Info' tab above

For smaller projects, such as private houses, Blowerproof Liquid Brush can be used with a flat paintbrush, suitable for water based products. Apply in two coats; second coat must only be applied when the first coat is completely black.

Wall to Ceiling

The wall/ceiling connections also need to be made airtight, this can be problematic when the surfaces are of two different types of material such as red brick/concrete or steel/concrete. Different construction materials react differently to changes in humidity and temperature, which can lead to small cracks in plaster or another type of finishing, and so creating air leaks. 

For wall/ceiling connections, both spray and brush applied products can be used: 

Blowerproof Liquid sprayed with an airless paint spray device (1 layer) or Blowerproof Liquid Brush which is applied with a paintbrush in two layers. Apply in two coats; second coat must only be applied when the first coat is completely black.
