W. R. MEADOWS: Barrier Material

    This company offers AIR-SHIELD LSR, a single-component liquid synthetic rubber air, vapor, and liquid moisture barrier that is reportedly easy to apply and cures to form a tough, seamless, elastomeric membrane that can exhibit excellent resistance to air and moisture transmission. The barrier material can be used on most common surfaces, various wall systems, and is suitable for both new construction and restoration.

  “AIR-SHIELD LSR was introduced a number of years ago to provide a fluid applied barrier option capable of air, water, and vapor protection. AIR-SHIELD LSR possesses many fluid-applied material benefits, such as ease of application and superior performance. This product has been an excellent addition to our AIR-SHIELD line of materials,” said Russ Snow, building science specialist.

    AIR-SHIELD LSR’s highly flexible membrane offers adhesion to span great lengths, ensuring a continuous barrier. It is sprayable and non-toxic and with low-VOC content, as well as environmentally compatible, produces no harmful odors, and is safe to apply and clean up.
