which combines performance with one of the lowest installed costs on the market.
The fibered-acrylic coating can be applied by roller, brush or sprayer, and
exceeds ASTM air barrier test standards.
West Seneca, NY One of the most-cost effective solutions for protecting building envelopes from weather, moisture and air infiltration – the liquid-applied Wall Guardian FW-100A fibered-acrylic air barrier – will be demonstrated by Kemper System America, Inc. at RCI 2018 in Houston, March 22-27.
The half-hour presentation is scheduled for March 25th at 10:15 a.m. in the RCI demo area.
It will include an overview of the history and variety of air barrier systems, as well as a step-by-step demonstration of how to apply the Wall Guardian system. Proven in the field for nearly a decade, the air barrier is designed to resist air and water infiltration, saving energy, and preventing moisture build-up that can lead to mildew and mold.
Performance and Value
Wall Guardian FW-100A air barrier assembly exceeds ASTM E2357 (Standard Test Method for Determining Air Leakage of Air Barrier Assemblies) with an air leakage rate of just 0.0004 cfm/ft2 @ 1.57 psf – 100 times better than the test requirement. And it exceeds the standard in a single coat at 40 mils wet film thickness (40 sq. ft. per gallon). This makes it one of the lowest installed-cost air barrier systems in the U.S.
