A Comparison of Liquid Applied WRB Chemistry, Performance, and Applications

Fluid applied membranes, whether as a flashing or weather resistive barrier, are becoming much more common in the marketplace. This presentation will discuss the history and development of fluid applied membranes and will give attendees an understanding of the various different chemistry types available in the market; why they were developed and the important performance characteristics, including the advantages and disadvantages of each chemistry type. Finally, attendees will understand how to choose the appropriate material for different application and how to design with each material.

After 34 years with a major silicone sealant company, David Kimball retired and started anew with Prosoco, Inc. as a technical specialist in their building envelope group, covering the North Atlantic Region with his office in Brooklyn, New York. While David spent years living in many different parts of the country, primarily in a technical service role, working on weatherseal, structural glazing, and exterior coatings applications, the unique challenge that rough opening preparation and air/vapor barriers brings is inspiring.

Presentation is approved for 1 hour of AIA continuing education credits.
