VaproShield[1]‘s innovative self-adhered vapor permeable, water resistive air barrier membranes: WrapShield SA Self-Adhered[2] and RevealShield SA Self-Adhered[3] (for open joint rain screen cladding systems) received approval from Air Barrier Association of America[4] (ABAA) on April 20, 2015.

Both approved membranes are fully self-adhered water resistive barriers (WRB) and air barriers (AB) with a cutting edge adhesive that does not require primers, is void of VOC’s and can be applied in below freezing temperatures. Since a category for such innovation did not exist, it had to be created. Over the past several months, the VaproShield technical team has worked with the ABAA to implement a new category for high performance, self-adhered, air barrier systems. “The association [ABAA] did not have a category for our innovative membranes,” notes Lee Snyder, Managing Partner. “We are so pleased they worked with us to create the ‘Adhesive Backed Commercial Building Wrap’ category.”

Product information, samples, and technical assistance can be requested on the VaproShield website at vaproshield.com[5], or by calling 866-731-7663.
