QUICK OVERVIEW

VaproAirSeal SausageVaproAirSeal™ an air and watertight single component sealant fills gypsum seams and fasteners in preparation for fluid-applied air barrier

  • Improves air and water tightness of fenestration systems; sealing the interior window frame to the window rough opening flashing.
  • Air and watertight - bonds to VaproShield materials without primers (or priming).
  • Minimum application temperature: 40°F (4.4°C).
  • Permanently Flexible - allowing for +/- 50% joint movement.
  • Paintable – in two (2) hours
  • Emits very low VOCs – contains no solvents.
  • Compatibility - Compatible with all VaproShield membranes and accessories.
