1. PRODUCT NAME
Air/vapour barrier: Code Green
2. MANUFACTURER Advanced Coatings Inc. www.advancedcoatings
on.ca
3. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Basic Use: Primarily intended
as a non-accessible air/vapour barrier for all types of cavity
wall construction e.g. over exterior face of inner wythe of masonry
cavity wall.
New construction or retrofit.
For commercial, industrial and institutional applications.
Composition and Materials: Code Green is a 100% rubber
copolymer liquid applied air/vapour barrier membrane (hydrocarbon
polymers in hydrocarbon solvents) that is spray applied to the
substrate by manufacturer approved applicators
Transition joints in the substrate to receive Code Green are
first sealed with a self-adhering polymeric or SBS smooth surfaced
modified bitumen membrane (transition strip). These strips, approximately
150 mm (6") wide, are located at beams,
columns, changes in substrate material, and similar joints or
connections to provide continuity of the air/vapour barrier assembly.
Code Green meets all of the principal requirements and design
criteria. for a properly constructed air barrier for the building
envelope, namely: resistance to air flow; structural soundness,
capable of resisting wind and other loads, over its expected
life span; continuity throughout the building envelope; be permanent
if concealed.
Thickness: 1 m m (40 m i Is).
Application Rate (over standard concrete block): 2.6 to 3
m2/4.5L (28 to 32 sq. ft./gal.)
Co/our: Bright Green
Limitations: Not designed to perform as a permanently exposed
membrane
4. TECHNICAL DATA Applicable Standards: Meets and exceeds
National Research Council (NRC) Type 111 Air Leakage requirements.
Meets the requirements of ASTM E-96 Type I water vapour permeance.
See Physical Properties Chart.
Environmental Considerations: Code Green membrane is non-toxic,
non carcinogenic and will not contaminate ground water.
5. INSTALLATION Preparatory Work: Refer to Examination
section of specification for substrate requirements by others
(new construction).
Under the work of the air/vapour barrier section of work,
the following preparatory requirements include:
1. Removing loose or foreign matter which might impair adhesion
of materials.
2 Filling any voids with a proprietary mastic substrate filler
(Code Green Mastic).
3.Cleaning and priming substrate joint/connection surfaces
and applying a self-adhering polymeric or SBS modified bitumen
"transition strip."
Methods: Code Green is applied using manufacturer approved
applicators who undergo extensive training and are monitored
for quality performance.
Applied over outer surface of inner why the of masonry or
other substrate, Code Green is sprayed on to surfaces using alternating
horizontal and vertical passes to ensure complete coverage of
substrate and transition strip material. Masonry anchors or other
penetrations are sealed air tight.
Transition joints are sealed using transition strip over firm
bearing at beams, columns, changes in substrate material and
similar joints or connections including at window frame perimeter
and door Frames.
