Description :

ME010 is a vapour permeable polyester, airtight and watertight breather membrane. It is available in two formats, as a monolithic full facade breather membrane or in a range of slit widths, for use when sealing around windows, doors and curtain wall or for sealing sheathing board to board and sheathing board to structure joints. It is supplied in 1,500 mm x 50 m rolls or in a range of smaller slit widths. When attached with no air gap, using metal nails, staples or screws and tested in accordance with EN 13501-1, ME010 achieves a fire classification of B-s3, d0. When tested as a complete system attached to the substrate using SP025 Fire Membrane Adhesive, the system achieves Class B-s1, d0. Both classifications meet the requirements for membranes given in Approved Document B of the Building Regulations for England and Wales. When tested for water resistance in accordance with EN 1928, ME010 remains water tight at 24 hours when subject
to a 2 kPa head of water. It meets both the criteria for a Class W1 membrane in accordance with EN 13859-2 and the more onerous requirements stated for a Type A water resistance membrane given in EN 13984.

Usage/Purpose :

This high performance breather membrane can be directly laid on sheathing board or thermal insulation
behind partially or fully open rain screen façades or curtain walling. ME010 is a highly vapour open,
watertight, polyester-based breather membrane, with Class B-s1, d0 to EN 13501-1 including adhesive, tested by MPA Hannover. Watertight to EN 1928 up to 24 hours. Suitable for full façade or window perimeter sealing applications.
