Membranes are ultraviolet-resistant

Tarco has introduced the LeakBarrier® 25RA self-adhering flashing membrane and the LeakBarrier Butyl self-adhering moisture barrier.

Designed to perform in a wide array of vertical and sloped applications, the 25-mil-thick LeakBarrier 25A self-adhering flashing membrane reportedly is tear- and puncture-resistant. The membrane can be used to integrate into wall-to-wall tie-ins; transition from decks to side walls; wrap behind stone and masonry walls; secure sheathing panel seams; reinforce foundation sill plates; and provide protection behind stucco finishes. It also is fortified with UV resistance for 90 days.

The LeakBarrier Butyl self-adhering moisture barrier features a robust butyl adhesive and a specially engineered polyethylene film reportedly suitable for a broad temperature range, including temperatures as cold as 15 F.

The 20-mil-thick membrane is suitable on vertical and sloped surfaces and is said to provide a watertight seal around joints, seams and penetrations. Additionally, it reportedly offers protection against moisture and vapor; can withstand hot and cold temperatures; and is UV-resistant for up to 120 days of exposure.
