Product Description: The Solitex WA Breathable Wall Protection Membrane is crafted from high-density polypropylene, designed for timber frame housing. It is water-resistant yet allows water vapor to pass through, facilitating the timber structure's breathability.
Usage: Ideal for timber frame constructions, this membrane prevents water ingress while permitting vapor escape, safeguarding the timber structure. It necessitates a vapor control layer on the internal structure.
Manufacture and Marketing: Produced by Moll bauökologische Produkte GmbH in Germany and distributed by MacCann & Byrne Ltd. in Ireland.
Certification and Compliance: Certified by the Irish Agrément Board, it adheres to the Building Regulations 1997 to 2002, ensuring quality materials and workmanship standards.
Installation: Installation should follow the manufacturer's guidelines, using stainless steel staples or nails. Proper overlapping is crucial for water shedding, and all timber in the cavity must be covered.
Technical Specifications: The membrane features a water vapor permeability of 1510 g/m²/day, tensile strength of 176 N (MD) and 180 N (CD), and withstands temperatures from -40°C to +100°C. It is rated as fire class B2.
Performance and Durability: The membrane is self-extinguishing, water-resistant, and durable, comparable to other construction elements. It should be shielded from sunlight and solvents.
Conditions of Certification: The certification is valid for five years, contingent on unchanged product specifications and regulations. The NSAI does not ensure the absence of patent rights or the legal right to market the product.
