Blueskin ® VP100
Performance standards you can trust Henry Blueskin VP100 is a residential and multi-family self-adhered vapor permeable, water-resistive air barrier membrane consisting of an engineered film and a patented, permeable adhesive technology with split-back poly-release film. Blueskin VP100 is fully adhered to the wall substrate in a ‘weatherboard’ method without mechanical attachment.
Limitations: Membrane must be rolled after application to ensure adhesion to substrate and laps. Not designed for permanent exposure, protect installed membrane as soon as possible. Maximum exposure not to exceed 150 days. Excessive moisture in substrate or laps can inhibit adhesion or result in loss of adhesion prior to installation of cladding. Do not expose the backside of the substrate to moisture or rain. Protect exposed back-up walls against wet weather conditions during and after application of membrane, including wall openings and construction activity above completed air barrier installation. Where adhesion of Blueskin VP100 is not adequate, use Henry Aquatac Primer to provide additional adhesion. For installations between 20 °F (-4 °C) and 40 °F (5 °C), Henry Aquatac Primer is always required for all substrates. For more information, please review the Henry Blueskin VP Cold Weather Application Tech-Talk which is available on the Henry website or contact your local Henry representative. Installation: Refer to Blueskin VP100 Installation Guidelines for detailed application information available at henry.com website. Blueskin VP100 must be installed in a consecutive weatherboard method starting at bottom or base of wall and working up; providing minimum of 2-in (5cm) side laps and 3-in (7.6cm) end laps. Cut to manageable lengths, position membrane for alignment, remove protective poly-film using split release and firmly apply pressure to ensure adhesion. Eliminate all fishmouths, wrinkles or gaps, roll entire membrane surface (including seams) with a counter top or “J-roller” with adequate pressure to ensure full contact and adhesion. Seal membrane terminations, heads of mechanical fasteners, masonry tie fasteners, around penetrations. Varied installation methods such as vertical application of Blueskin VP100 and “Method B” flashing installation for integral flanged windows are acceptable as long as the appropriate lap dimensions are maintained and the laps are installed in a sequential overlapping weatherboard method where applicable. Refer to Blueskin VP100 Installation Guidelines for detailed instructions. Availability: Henry products are distributed nationwide.
