Building upon proven technology invented by the U.S. Department of
Energy (DOE) over 20 years ago, AeroBarrier is a cutting edge envelope
sealing system that simultaneously measures and seals building envelope air leaks.
KEY BENEFITS -
• Meet the most aggressive air leakage standards
• Meet passive house air tightness standards
• Achieve air tightness requirements in less time and without
costly delays
• Eliminate noise and odor complaints by simultaneously sealing
exterior and interior walls
• Comply with ASTM E2357, ASTM E2178, and NFPA 285
ABOUT THE PRODUCT - AeroBarrier X1 is a stable, non-toxic, aerosol-applied, waterborne
acrylic sealant. AeroBarrier is a patented air sealing system that
uses a computerized process to pressurize the building and install
AeroBarrier X1 to seal leaks in the building enclosure from the
inside. The particles deposit only at the leak sites and build to
form a complete and tight seal, remaining firmly in place for years
while staying completely pliable and flexible. By reducing air leaks
through the building envelope, it is possible to reduce energy loss,
help mitigate moisture damage, and enhance overall comfort and
health of the building.
Following the fifty cycles
of flexing and accelerated
aging, simulating a fifty-
year period of service, the
sealant showed no evidence
of cracking, crazing, or
spalling. Furthermore, the
sealing performance was
0.13% leakage (very low)
when compared to the
open-joint condition (no
sealant present). Finally,
there was no discoloration
and/or material breakdown
at the sealant interface
with the 41 common
building products, indicating
favorable compatibility.
