Description
Product Data Sheet
3M™ Air and Vapor Barrier 3015 is an air, moisture and water impermeable membrane with an aggressive, high-tack acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive that does not require the use of a primer on most construction surfaces. It even adheres to damp surfaces. This product has a unique acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive that aggressively sticks and stays stuck both at lower and higher application temperatures than traditional air barrier products.
The proprietary backing seals around hand driven nails and staples to prevent moisture intrusion. This backing is also tough, resists punctures and tears, yet it is thin to fit conveniently into corners.
Product Features
- Compatible with many building sealants: No adverse reaction with synthetic rubber, butyl, polyurethane, silicone and silane terminated hybrid sealants.
- Service Temperature from -40° to 240°F (-40° to 116°C).
- Can be applied to substrates from 0° to 150°F (-18° to 66°C).
- Impermeable to air, moisture vapor and water.
- Excellent adhesion to concrete, concrete block, anodized aluminum, galvanized metal, plywood and most exterior grade fiberglass matt gypsum boards without the use of any primer.
- Adhesive provides a unique combination of both cold and hot temperature (continued) adhesion to most substrates, which can extend the construction season in many climates.
- Unique adhesive even adheres to damp surfaces that have not absorbed water, like metals, glass and plastics.
- Multilayer Elastomeric Film seals around nails and staples to prevent moisture intrusion.
- Resists UV exposure for up to 12 months.
- Membrane has measurement markings at 6 inch grid intersections for ease in alignment and cutting.
Application Ideas
- Designed for use as a self-adhered air, vapor and water barrier for new and remedial commercial and residential applications.
- Can be installed onto exterior wall sheathing and behind exterior cladding.
