ME010 is a vapour permeable polyester, airtight and watertight breather membrane used as a perimeter membrane seal to the external side of glazed units such as windows, doors, and curtain walling.
When correctly installed with illbruck SP025 Fire Membrane Adhesive, it provides an air and fully watertight seal over the construction joint which remains breathable to enable any trapped incidental moisture or condensation to escape out through to the external side of the wall construction. It can also be used to seal and protect horizontal and vertical linear joints between sheathing boards and the main structure.
It is available in a range of pre-cut slit widths from 60 mm to 400 mm wide. When bonded to the glazing frame and structure with illbruck SP025 Fire Membrane Adhesive, the combined system has been tested and achieves a Class B-s1, d0 fire performance in accordance with EN 13501-1. When tested for water resistance in accordance with EN 1928 with a 2 kPa head of water, ME010 remains watertight for 24 hours and meets both the criteria for a Class W1 membrane in accordance with EN 13859-2 and the more onerous requirements stated for a Type A water resistant membrane as given in EN 13984. ME010 is also available as a full facade breather membrane which is used in combination with the window sealing membrane to form a continuous weather and airtight barrier around the full building envelope including structural openings. ME010 meets the fire performance requirements for membranes installed on “relevant” building types as defined in Approved Document B of the Building Regulations for England and Wales. It is important that ME010 is installed in the correct orientation with the smooth/glossy coated side always facing outwards towards the external environment.
