EXTERNAL WALL PROTECTION – Weather Tightness
SOLITEX EXTASANA ADHERO® provides the ultimate weather protection layer for your walls and roofs under all conditions. When fully adhered to rigid substrates, it provides protection from wind, driving rain and other external sources of water, whilst allowing any internal moisture to escape through the vapour permeable, non-porous TEEE^ layer.
- Superior UV resistance (180 days exposure)
- Isolates leaks caused by accidental damage or penetrations
- Outstanding long-term durability
- Ultimate resistance against extreme wind gusts
- Ideal for pre-fab systems
- Deemed non-combustible+ as it is less than 1mm thick with low flammability.
- Withstand exposure to temperatures of up to 100°C and down to -40°C behind external claddings.
According to NCC Vol 1 C1.9 & NCC Vol 2 3.7.1.1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION SOLITEX EXTASANA ADHERO® is a UV stabilised and tear resistant self-adhesive weather resistive barrier (WRB). A non-porous water resistant TEEE^ film is laminated at high temperature between two layers of spun bonded polypropylene with a full solid acrylate adhesive back and siliconised release paper
This product is suitable for use in BAL regions 12.5 to 40 in accordance with AS 3959. Wherever non-combustible material is required by the NCC it should be noted that this product is less than 1mm thick and has a flammability index of less than 5
SOLITEX EXTASANA® is a wall wrap or wall underlay that provides the best weather protection layer for your walls, under all conditions. It is tested and compliant with AS4200.1
It protects the building from wind, driving rain and other external sources of water, whilst allowing any internal moisture to escape through the vapour permeable, non-porous TEEE* layer.
Unlike other wall wraps, this next generation in wall membranes offers unique levels of weather tightness and air tightness.
Designed for use behind most typical wall cladding systems, including cavity brick, fibre-cement, masonry and other common wall systems. It is suitable for use in BAL regions 12.5 to 40 in accordance with AS 3959.
Solitex Extasana has some significant advantages over other wrap or membranes available in the Australian market that make construction using these products simpler and easier to follow than many other wraps or membranes.
INTERNAL AIR BARRIER – Internal Air Tightness
INTELLO® PLUS is a market leading intelligent air barrier for all construction types, providing superior energy and moisture control. INTELLO® PLUS maximises the performance of your thermal insulation, whilst restricting internal moisture entering the building envelope. INTELLO® PLUS utilises HydrosafeTM technology, providing optimal protection against structural damage and mould, even in the event of unexpected moisture intrusion.
INTELLO PLUS provides anyone that should care about designing or constructing sustainable, durable and healthy buildings with scientifically tested and proven benefits to the finished project including:
- Promotes superior drying capacity with HydrosafeTM technology
- Intelligent airtightness system (IAS) for warm, dry, healthy buildings
- Maximises the performance of thermal insulation by reducing the number of air changes
- Lowers VOC rating achievable
- Highly diffusion-resistant in winter
- Superior back-diffusion capacity in summer, meaning added protection from high external humidity and or moisture from damp claddings, combined with high external temperatures
METAL ROOF – Condensation & Weather Resistive Barrier
SOLITEX MENTO UM connect is a weather resistive barrier that contains as inbuilt 3D separation layer and integrated self-adhesive strips. It is suitable for both ventilated and unventilated structures in combination with most roof and wall cladding materials. It contains a non-porous, water resistant TEEE film that is laminated at high temperatures between two layers of spun bonded polypropylene. This product is suitable for use in tile, metal and slate roof applications and it is suitable for use in BAL regions 12.5 to 40 in accordance with AS 3959. It can also be used in wall applications behind most cladding materials.
