Product Information

Full details

The Passive Purple Airtight Liquid Vapour Control Membrane is a high-performance, water-based solution designed for builders, contractors, and DIY enthusiasts aiming to achieve Passivhaus-standard airtightness in new builds or renovations. It excels at sealing complex junctions and gaps in insulation, timber, steel, and masonry to maximize thermal efficiency; however, users should note that as a liquid-applied product, it requires careful preparation of the substrate to ensure proper adhesion and performance.

FAQs

Can Passive Purple be used as a Radon barrier?

Yes, it is certified to perform effectively as a Radon barrier.

Does this product require a top coat?

It can be left as is, or painted/plastered over once fully cured.

How much area does one 10kg tub cover?

One 10kg tub covers approximately 8-18m2 depending on the porosity of the substrate.

Is it safe for indoor air quality?

Yes, it is M1 class and VOC-free, meaning it does not emit harmful chemicals into the living space.

Can I apply this over existing insulation?

Yes, it is designed to bond to various insulation materials to create an airtight seal.

Troubleshooting

Membrane not adhering to surface

Ensure the substrate is free from dust, grease, and loose particles before application.

Bubbling or blistering after drying

Usually caused by applying too thick of a layer in one pass; apply in thinner, more consistent coats.

Product is too thick to brush

Ensure the product is stored at room temperature; cold temperatures can thicken the consistency.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly improves building energy efficiency
  • Easy to apply with brush or roller
  • VOC-free and environmentally friendly
  • Superior durability compared to traditional taped membranes
  • Ideal for hard-to-reach, awkward architectural junctions

Cons

  • Requires proper surface preparation for best results
  • Drying time must be observed before subsequent layers
  • Not intended for large open spans without structural support

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free of loose debris or dust. The product is applied using a brush or roller; for larger commercial projects, consider the spray-version counterpart.

Compatibility: Compatible with all standard building materials including OSB, concrete, steel, and insulation boards.

Care: Once cured, the membrane is robust. If the surface is accidentally punctured during later construction phases, it can be easily repaired by applying a fresh layer of the liquid over the damaged area to maintain the seal.
