OverviewHere at Intelligent Membranes, we have a range specifically for retrofitting air tightness and vapour control. The Retrofit Airtightness Spray/Roller Paint Passive Purple Retrofit is designed for vapour control and energy efficiency. Airtightness and controlling vapour equals better energy efficiency and a healthier indoor environment for occupants.
Passive Purple RetrofitPassive Purple Retrofit is a liquid membrane formulation that adheres to the substrate, impregnating the surface to make it very difficult to damage. Unlike paper membranes that can be susceptible to cuts, this liquid membrane fills holes, cracks, penetration leaks and problem areas to create an airtight substrate. It is suitable for spray or roller application and supplied in a 10kg size.
