A new concept wall system is provided, wherein a moisture and vapor barrier is positioned in an enterior insulation finish system to provide thermal stability regardless of climatic variations. Specifically, a two part membrane of multiple cross-laminated layers of polyethylene film fully bonded to ...
When a vapor barrier is on the side of a wall where the dry air is (i.e.,outside in winter or inside in summer), moisture problems can occur. A vapor barrier reduces the movement of water vapor by diffusion. Holes in the vapor barrier that allow humid air through may allow a lot...
A quality crawl space vapor barrier designed to protect your home from the negative effects of an open crawl space.
Question: tracking down moisture problems and stains vs sheathing and vapor barrier details (Sept 13, 2014) Lowell G said: I am currently building a 1000s.ft. house in Zone 5b/6 upstate NY and plan to use the following for the exterior wall construction: 5/8" drywall, 2x6 cavity filled...
Why Distinguish Between An Air Barrier and Vapor Barrier? While both barriers are crucial components of abuilding envelope, they serve different purposes. Air barriers aim to prevent the flow of air and the moisture it carries into a building, while vapor barriers solely focus on preventing moistu...

Protecting your home with a high-quality air barrier, from the top down to its foundation, will protect the home's integrity and air quality, along with lessening maintenance and repair bills. Applying Poly Wall® Air and Moisture Barrier Systems to your home’s above- and below-grade wall...
permeation time. The water vapor permeability of sealant with different formulations is different. Therefore, the moisture barrier properties of the sealant can be objectively evaluated through the test and analysis, so as to make the moisture-proof performance of outdoor electrical equipment more ...
A multi-layer paper or paperboard construction that has good moisture vapour barrier qualities and mechanical strength and is easily repulpable. The construction permits the use of a very thin PVdC/butyl acrylate barrier layer by primer and laminant layers disposed on the inside surfaces of the pa...
Organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) and organic photo-voltaic (OPV) devices are extremely sensitive to ambient moisture and therefore need to be protected by a barrier layer. Apilot roll-to-roll barrier coater for cost-effective production of ultra-barrier foil has been built, using microwave...
