Siplast, a Standard Industries company, introduced a self-adhered, vapor-permeable air- and water-resistive barrier developed for commercial wall applications — the WALLcontrol Monolith VP Adhered AWB. As the latest innovation in Siplast’s expanding suite of WALLcontrol air- and water-resistive barrier systems, the WALLcontrol Monolith VP AWB exemplifies the company’s steadfast commitment to advancing within the building enclosure sector.

Siplast’s WALLcontrol Monolith VP AWB delivers three performance solutions — durable water resistance, high-performance vapor permeability and best-in-class primer-less adhesion — utilizing exclusive technology to form a monolithic solid sheet. This flexible, UV-resistant membrane features a high-temperature-stable, low-temperature-application-permeable acrylic adhesive with a split siliconized release liner, which is designed to ensure robust protection and durability. The monolithic product design helps provide chemical stability, while its sleek black finish adds a visually appealing touch to almost any façade.

To create the WALLcontrol Monolith VP AWB, Siplast employed a specialized production process for membrane technology that used a proprietary blend of robust core materials to form a durable barrier film capable of providing protection against the elements. This technology presents a highly porous structure that facilitates moisture-vapor transfer while providing exceptional water-holdout properties. The self-adhesive AWB eliminates the need for a primer, which can help save on labor, materials and time while allowing swift on-site application that expedites the project’s progress to the next construction phase.

The WALLcontrol AWB systems include wall membranes, critical transition membranes and accessories that provide high-performance solutions for above-grade vertical walls — helping to create a continuous air- and water-resistive barrier for commercial buildings. As part of a designed building enclosure system, the WALLcontrol Monolith VP AWB can help contribute toward optimized energy performance and improved indoor air quality for building occupants.

“[The] WALLcontrol Monolith VP Adhered AWB offers a game-changing combination of best-in-class air and water barrier protection, combined with optimal vapor permeability and strong primer-less adhesion, so you don’t need to sacrifice one for the other,” said Benjamin Meyer, Siplast building enclosure business director. “Siplast is a leader of innovation in the building enclosure space, and our WALLcontrol AWB systems are top-of-the-line solutions for above-grade commercial wall designs.”

Siplast continues to deliver high-performance building enclosure solutions in partnership with its customers, setting industry standards for the future of building design and construction. To learn more about Siplast and the brand’s high-performance AWB product line, visit www.siplast.com.
