ALCO AIR-GUARD

DESCRIPTION
ALCO Air-Guard is a self-adhering air barrier and flashing membrane. It is a roll product, nominally 40 mils thick, consisting of a self adhering rubberized asphalt membrane laminated with a polyethylene film and reinforced with a fiberglass mat. A film release liner prevents it from sticking to itself in the roll and allows for easy installation. Air-Guard is available in the following widths:  12”, 18”, 24”, 36”.

USE
· Pre-Cast concrete 
· Masonry Block Walls
· Plywood 
· Primed Galvanized Metal  
· Primed Steel

ADVANTAGES
· Extremely flexible Modified Membrane
· Forms an immediate air/vapor barrier
· Low Permeability
· Simple to Install
· Above grade protection from air, vapor and water on a range of construction materials
· Excellent Adhesion
· Potential reduction in heating and air conditioning costs

PREPARATION
Before application, surface must be smooth, clean, dry and free from oil, form release agents, loose scaling, rust, dirt, dust and debris. Surface must also be frost-free. Strike masonry joints flush. Concrete surfaces must be smooth and without large voids, spalled areas or sharp protrusions. Where a curing compound is used, they must be clear resin based (without oil, wax or pigments). All surfaces should be primed with ALCO Roof and Concrete Primer.

APPLICATION
ALCO AIR-GUARD air barrier and flashing membrane can be applied at a minimum temperature of 40°F. (4° C.). Apply to a primed surface by removing the release film and rolling the membrane firmly into place. Remove the release film as material is being used. Leave no fish mouths or wrinkles. Use a utility knife for all necessary cutting. Overlaps should be 2”. Use a termination bar to tie into the wall system. Use ALCO 24/7 Flashing Cement for sealing top edges of termination bar.

Note: A low application temperature (20° - 60° F.) material is also available. Please call our office for details.
