Description

Dur-A-Mastic 100 is a water-based acrylic, ready-mixed, single-component product. Its primary use is as an air/water-resistive barrier (WRB). It is also used as an adhesive to bond expanded polystyrene insulation to wood substrates. When used as a WRB, it meets the requirements for moisture-sensitive substrates as well as an air barrier membrane. It is applied by trowel and it cures to form a tough, seamless, elastomeric membrane, which is resistant to air leakage and water ingress under hydrostatic pressure.

Advantages
  • Highly flexible, bridges cracks  which may form in the substrate
  • Trowel application assures a monolithic, seamless membrane
  • Prevents air leakage and water ingress through porous building materials
  • Remains firmly bonded to the substrate even when applied over damp surfaces
  • Non-toxic
  • One component; ready to use
  • Odourless
  • Easy clean up with water
Uses

Dur-A-Mastic 100 is used as an air barrier within the building envelope and as a seamless WRB membrane. It may be applied to most common surfaces and integrated into various wall systems in both new construction and restoration. Dur-A-Mastic 100 is an Air Barrier and a WRB. 

Typical uses are:

  • Water-resistant/air barrier WRB for EIFS application
  • Plywood/OSB, cement board & exterior-grade gypsum board sheathing
  • Can also be used as an adhesive for installation of EPS insulation onto wood substrates such as plywood sheathing and OSB
