ALUTRIX® 600 and ALUTRIX® FR are high performing, impervious vapour barriers, often used as part of a roof build up in demanding locations.
For standing seam metal roofs that use hard metals including Zinc, Copper, GreenCoat PLX or Aluminium, Alutrix 600 is an ideal vapour barrier, particularly in warm roof applications where the membrane’s bituminous core element ‘self-seals around the screw fixings used to secure standing seam sheets to the supporting deck. This self-sealing functionality maintains air-tightness, sealing against moisture and vapour ingress.
Alutrix 600 and Alutrix FR are also ideal for use on roofs using mechanically fixed single-ply membranes, roofing felts or asphalts. The membrane’s flexibility and ease of installation also makes it an ideal choice for aggressive environments, including agricultural buildings, swimming pools, industrial buildings and standard residential homes.
This vapour barrier membrane can be self-installed by simply removing the detachable protective film to the backing and sticking to most standard building material including timbers and even profiled metal decks.
It is recommended to use the Alutrix surface primer FG 35 on substrates including timber and bituminous type substrates. The rubber-based primer assists with bonding. It may also be necessary to clean down certain areas to ensure good adhesion. If so, the Alutrix G 500 cleaner should be used. This compound cleans lightly solid areas, substrates and equipment.
Alutrix 600 and Alutrix FR are high performing vapour barriers that are great value for money, are quick and easy to install and assist with energy & heat conservation.
