3. Air and Moisture Barrier System

BEP Blue Barrier Liquid Wrap or BEP Blue Barrier Flash ‘N Wrap RG with BEP Blue Barrier Joint Filler are to be used to provide a seamless breathable barrier for the building envelope. Protecting the structure from air and moisture infiltration, BEP Blue Barrier Liquid Wrap can be spray applied or power rolled. BEP Flash ‘N Wrap RG can be Rolled or brushed on only. In preparing for the application, the substrate must be power washed clean of debris and contaminants. Substrate can be damp to the touch. Ensure all windows and doors are protected from overspray. Any voids should be prepped with BEP Blue Barrier Joint Filler. All voids in excess of ¾ of an inch should have a closed cell backer rod installed prior to the caulking of the joint. Set the backer rod to industry depth based on the joint size. All openings and penetrations in the building envelope must use the assemblies / systems / procedures listed in this Application Guide. When applying with a power sprayer, the following spray equipment has been approved for use with BEP Blue Barrier Liquid Wrap: Titan Speeflo / Power twin 12000 plus or Graco 833 tip size to be 629 through 635. Gun S-7 3/8 swivel / 2ft gun extension. Hose length of 100ft 3/8 5800 psi. sprayer pressure to be set at 3600 psi. Applicator can also use the Titan Speeflo / Hydra M 4000 / part #433-801 with above noted hose, gun and tip set up. Standing back two feet from the building, apply 15-20 mills wet using a crosshatch spray pattern. When selecting your airless spray equipment it is important to ensure you have and can maintain at least 2,000 psi at the spray tip. To see the location for Liquid Wrap and or Flash ‘N Wrap RG as it ties back into the window flashing, refer to Diagram # 4. Tips when spraying: Periodically check with a wet millage gauge to ensure proper millage which should be no less then 15 wet mills. Prior to spraying ensure all filters are removed from the gun and pump. If a filter is needed for the pump ensure you are using the largest filter possible such as the zero for Titan. Do not run a filter in the spray gun. Run an approved solvent through the lines and pump prior to use with the BEP Blue Barrier Liquid Wrap. Do not allow the material to sit idle in the sprayer for more then 15 minutes. To clean your machine pump the approved solvent back through the machine to ensure all BEP Blue Barrier Liquid Wrap material is flushed from the lines and the machine. Once flushed if using a Titan or a zero filter remove and inspect the filter and tip.

Proper Power Sprayer Equipment Maintenance – Review the recommended daily maintenance instructions provided by the pump manufacturer. Before and after each use, ensure the unit has been flushed out with an approved solvent such as Mineral Spirits. Ensure all tips and hoses have been completely flushed with a proper solvent immediately after use. After running the solvent through the pump, remove the number 0 filter and clean. Never run water though the pump prior to use with BEP Liquid Wrap, as this is a moisture cure product and will react to the water in the pump and lines. BEP Blue Barrier Flash ‘N Wrap RG – with BEP Blue Barrier Joint Filler are to be used to provide a seamless breathable barrier for the building envelope. Protecting the structure from air and moisture infiltration, BEP Blue Barrier Flash N’ Wrap RG can be rolled with standard rolling methods. Use a ¾” nap roller for best results. BEP Flash ‘N Wrap RG can be Rolled or brushed on only. In preparing for the application, the substrate must be power washed clean of debris and contaminants. Substrate can be damp to the touch. Ensure all windows and doors are protected from any splatter. Any voids should be prepped with BEP Blue Barrier Joint Filler. All voids in excess of ¾ of an inch should have a closed cell backer rod installed prior to the caulking of the joint. Set the backer rod to industry depth based on the joint size. All openings and penetrations in the building envelope must use the assemblies / systems / procedures listed in this Application Guide. Surface Preparation for all Assemblies – All products should be applied to surfaces cleaned free of all debris, contaminants and/or residual oils from any form boards.

6. Adhesion to Substrates (AS/NZS 1580.405)

6.1 Approved Substrates • Treated Plywood (CCA treated) • Treated structural framing timber (CCA or Borate treated) • Aluminium • Stainless Steel • Powder Coating • PVC (light sand required before application) • Concrete (precast) • Concrete (CMU) • James Hardie ® (fibre cement board) • MagRoc ™ (RAB panels and boards) • Magnum ™ Board (RAB panels and boards) • Galvanised Metals • Steel • Glass

Note : Blue Barrier products can equally be applied in dry and wet conditions.

6.2 Substrate Inspection Whenever Blue Barrier is to be applied over an old or existing substrate, an ABEP Ltd ‘certified applicator’ must carry out a survey that includes an inspection and testing procedure. The inspection needs to include all substrates intended to be coated and should identify the need for:

a) Any repair work required. b) The cleaning and preparation work required as described in section 9. (Substrate preparation)

All instances of repair work required needs to be recorded and photographed so that they can be used in developing a ‘scope of work’. If during the inspection of the substrates, it is noted that there are potential or existing structural deficiencies, such as weak timber framing under the substrate, a detailed record including photographs should be made so that all relevant information may be passed on to a consultant engineer for an opinion on the area of concern. This may require the consultant engineer to carry out his/her own site inspection to verify the condition of the structure under the substrate.

The survey must also address and verify the condition of the uppermost substrate on which Blue Barrier is to be applied. For further information and recommendations on testing procedures, please contact ABEP Technical Services.

9. Substrate Preparation For all existing substrates the following cleaning process must be followed to ensure that a high quality application is obtained.

9.1 Step 1 - Inspect Inspect all areas to be coated to determine condition of materials and sub-structure.

Specifically note the following:

1. Structural integrity and viability and any structural areas to be repaired. 2. Type and condition of substrates and materials and identify original material manufacturer if

possible. 3. Areas affected by foreign materials. 4. Areas to be removed, repaired, or capped prior to applying a Blue Barrier coating. 5. Items to be removed. 6. Cleaning to be carried out.

9.2 Step 2 - Clean Perform initial cleaning and prepare the surface appropriately for coating. Preparation may require sanding, scraping, etc.

The use of a biodegradable cleaner/wash solution may be used to enhance the quality of the cleaning process on substrates that are heavily soiled, but this must be thoroughly rinsed off prior to the application process to avoid potential adhesion issues. (Contact ABEP for further information).

Surface preparation shall always, be in accordance with the highest standards of good trade practice to eliminate the possibility of product failure due to applicator error and resulting in a warranty claim.

9.3 Substrate Condition Inspection Where any inspection raises concern regarding the structural soundness of a particular system or substrate, an opinion from a qualified structural engineer should be sought prior to any work being carried out.

Note: All mould must be remediated before the application of Blue Barrier Products. There are numerous commercial products available for this purpose and once the treatment is complete any residual mould killer should be rinsed from the substrate.

ABEP - Blue Barrier Product Technical Installation Manual

9.4 Wooden Substrates All wooden-based panels are to be in a structurally sound condition. Plywood and all panel/sheeted wooden materials must be firmly adhered (Glued and or screwed only) in accordance with standard trade practice prior to application. NOTE : Nails have a tendency, over time with temperature cycling, of moving outward which may puncture the waterproofing membrane..

9.5 Metal Substrates Metals must be free of mill-scale, oils, surface impurities and any loose/friable materials. Acetone may be used to clean most metal substrates however if unsure, please contact ABEP for assistance. Smooth metals to be scuffed to help create a mechanical bond. 100 grit sandpaper is to be used when required (scuffing increases surface area of adhesion).

9.6 Cementitious Substrates New concrete shall have a minimum of 28 days curing time prior to be coated with any Blue Barrier product.

All concrete (new or old), must be inspected & tested for suitability by either hammer testing achieving >15MPa or pull-off adhesion testing achieving >0.8 Mpa Concrete must be suitably finished by means of wood float or steel pan. The surface finish must be uniform and free from defects such as laitance, voids or honeycombing. Any defects should be repaired using Blue Barrier Joint Filler as described in application guide.

9.7 Paints and Existing Coatings Any coatings must be clean and free from loose, degraded materials. Painted surfaces should be inspected for any delaminated materials, ensuring that any loose materials are removed prior to Blue Barrier application. All paints and coatings must be inspected and tested for suitability by way of pull-off adhesion testing achieving >0.8 Mpa.

9.8 Control Joints For Control Joints that have high movement (floor to wall junction) use ABEP specified tape (50mm wide BOPP Film Tape) applied over the joint and apply Blue Barrier Liquid Flashing or Flash ‘N Wrap over the tape, covering at least 25mm of substrate either side of tape. Liquid Wrap can then be applied over entire substrate. This will allow the joint to have high elongation and remain waterproof. *Refer to Diagram 08 – Typical Control Joint Detail. PF backing rods may be used instead of tape where the control joint dimensions are similar in depth and width. *Refer to Diagram 11 – PF Rod Control Joint Detail.

ABEP - Blue Barrier Product Technical Installation Manual

10. Application Preparation

10.1 Repairs and Preparation Using the Blue Barrier Joint Filler, repair all cracks and imperfections, including apertures, voids or stress points. All large voids must be filled with Blue Barrier Joint Filler. To avoid slumping the void should be first filled with a PF packing rod/rods of large enough diameter so that it can be friction fitted. In any event Blue Barrier Joint filler should not be applied in a thickness greater than 19mm (¾ of in inch) Ensure sufficient numbers of screws and the correct application of the same to ensure the substrate is held fast to prevent movement. Do not rely on the Blue Barrier System to secure fastenings or loose substrates.

10.2 System Application Before the Liquid Wrap system is applied to the field area of the substrate, the Joint Filler and Liquid Flash should be first applied to all penetrations, openings, joints in substrate or substrate edges and extend 50 mm onto all surrounding surfaces. Seal with joint filler and then apply liquid flashing around all protrusions such as pipes, air conditioners and any other penetrations etc to ensure that a full waterproof encasement of the protrusion is made. Once all areas as above have been completed, the predetermined Blue Barrier Wrap system can be applied to the field area of the substrate system using the manufacturer’s guidelines.

NOTE Fixing Fasteners : Under no circumstances should a pilot hole be drilled through a Blue Barrier membrane, nor should self-drilling screws be used. These actions will create a breach of the membrane where moisture could penetrate. An example of this is when fixing air cavity batons to a wall. Fasteners and pointed nails that simply pierce the membrane without removing part of it will allow the Blue Barrier membrane to self-seal around the fixing.

Note : Nails must not be driven by hand to avoid spalling, a powered activated nail gun must be used.

11. Application Tools & Procedure Note: When applying Blue Barrier products to each other, if the initial application was applied any more than 24 hours earlier, it is important to reactivate the underlying layer with one of the following solvents : (Mineral spirits or Isopropyl Alcohol). Use a clean cloth or a light mist spray bottle to return product to a tacky consistency . Note : Appropriate protection to be worn when handling all solvents.

ABEP - Blue Barrier Product Technical Installation Manual

11.1 Joint Filler When bonding to surfaces, ensure the surfaces are sound and clean from both dust and debris. All large voids/joints need to be filled with Joint Filler using a sausage gun with a tip cut to size to achieve a desired bead of Blue Barrier Joint Filler as outlined in Subsection 10.1 above. All large voids and joints should be filled with Blue Barrier Joint filler before applying Blue Barrier Flashing or Blue Barrier Liquid Wrap. (Note : This does not apply to control joints where bond breaker tape or PF packing rods are used) Use a plastic, wooden or soft edge spatula or flat edge plasterer’s knife to level out Joint filler where necessary.

11.2 Liquid Flashing Use a sausage gun to apply Blue Barrier Liquid Flashing to a minimum thickness of 0.4mm and use a ‘wet film gauge’ to confirm. Use plastic, wooden or soft edge spatula or flat edge plasterer’s knife to level out the Liquid Flashing where necessary (otherwise use a short-haired paint brush). Note: Blue Barrier Products do not lend themselves to having any type of flashing ‘tapes’ applied to them. If you would like advice relating to alternative flashings please contact your ABEP representative.

11.3 Liquid Wrap Airless sprayers with a tip size of 629 should be used to apply Liquid Wrap. ABEP Ltd can recommend the following manufacturer’s pumps as they meet the minimum pump size requirement : Titan Speeflo 12000, Wagner 960 and Graco GH833. NOTE: Do not spray Liquid Wrap in temperatures <4¹C or >38¹C. Power roller and/or apply with standard roller or brush. A ‘wet film gauge’ is necessary to check the application thickness for a permeable coating which should be between 0.3mm to 0.4mm.

11.4 Flash ‘N Wrap Apply using a 10mm pile length/nap roller or standard paint brush. Note : During application the ambient temperature must be between -3¹C and 38¹C.

14. Health and Safety Information

14.1 Personal Protection The following protective equipment is essential for anyone working with Blue Barrier Products.

Gloves, Safety Glasses, Breathing Mask, Overalls. (All these are obtainable from NZ and Australian Safety Retailers and most Trade Supply Outlets).

In addition to protective clothing, it is recommended the use of a barrier cream on the skin as Blue Barrier is will adhere to un-protected skin. The cream acts as a release compound as well as a skin protection. Barrier creams are useful, effective, inexpensive and convenient. They protect well if they are not frequently flushed with solvents. Note : Barrier creams are only a supplement to, and not a replacement for, protective gloves, so always wear gloves. Whilst ABEP recommends single use of protective gloves if they are to be re-used please ensure the inside of the gloves are not contaminated.

If any Blue Barrier products do come into contact with your skin, wash immediately with soap and water after removing as much material as possible with a dry cloth. In any event it is recommended you wash your exposed skin occasionally during the workday as matter of course. Avoid using solvents to clean yourself with as they can help liquid material penetrate the skin, and the solvents themselves are aggressive and can be harmful to skin. If water is unavailable or in short supply, clean the contamination with sand instead. Certain hand cleaners also work without harmful effects but check the label for safety information before using. Citrus skin cleaners, for example, are effective and mild. Soap and water takes time, but will eventually work for small areas.

One of the best ways to protect yourself is of course to avoid skin contact, in addition to protective clothing, keeping tools and equipment clean are also best practice. No Blue Barrier application should ever proceed without sufficient water being on hand for cleaning and a professional eye wash kit for the treatment of eye contaminations.

If adequate clean water is not available then the project should not commence, no matter what the urgency. If a professional eyewash kit is not available, then at the very minimum a specifically designated one litre container of clean water must be present for the purpose of treating an eye contamination. The water can be in a pail, plastic jug or via a hose pipe. All applicators must be aware of local Health and Safety regulations and best practices relating to first aid and cleaning issues and these must be followed and given priority over of any ABEP recommendations. Safety glasses or other eye protection obviously help those doing the work, but they can also create a false sense of security. Do not take risks with yours or anyone’s health and safety!

In the event of any spillage or any eye contamination, always seek medical advice immediately after rinsing and cleaning the eyes with the clean water. Ensure sufficient ventilation during application in closed or confined spaces. The wearing of a respiratory mask is recommended and applicators should be aware of and observe all relevant local regulations relating to working in confined spaces.

ABEP - Blue Barrier Product Technical Installation Manual

17. Disposal Of Materials The only Blue Barrier product that is designated a hazardous chemical is the Liquid Wrap due its solvent content.

1. Un-cured residual product. The disposal of any residual product in containers marked as ‘hazardous chemicals’ must be undertaken in strict accordance with local and national regulations and as a result require special disposal considerations. The disposer is responsible for ensuring compliance.

2. Cured residual product. Liquid Wrap is considered cured when it have achieved a solid state and is no longer releasing vapour. When this is the case the hazardous chemical labelling can be removed from the container to allow the disposal of it as general waste.

IMPORTANT : Where residual material has not cured or a skin has formed on the surface, the product/container must be disposed of as hazardous waste, and any markings on the container denoting hazards must remain.

The person disposing of containers of residual cured product is responsible for and must ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, that the container/s are free of the hazardous chemicals.
