Properties of Air Barrier Materials

Properties of Air Barrier Materials
Available for download

This paper will describe the fundamental properties of many of the air barrier materials available for environmental separation and air tightening of buildings. It will discuss the basic requirements for an air barrier; however, there are many different air barriers materials available, and many of these materials can provide other needed properties including vapor, moisture, and thermal barriers.

This paper will describe the fundamental properties of many of the air barrier materials available for environmental separation and air tightening of buildings. It will discuss the basic requirements for an air barrier; however, there are many different air barriers materials available, and many of these materials can provide other needed properties including vapor, moisture, and thermal barriers. Each material may be fabricated to provide the needed properties to accomplish one or several of these functions. Specific material properties must be developed during manufacturing or application at specific thicknesses to allow the material to perform. The paper will discuss the application of these materials, and how their placement within the wall is affected by their intended function(s), and the expected exterior and interior environmental conditions to which they may be exposed during and after construction.

Preventing Corrosion under Insulation - New Generation Solutions for an Age Old Problem

Product Number: 41207-333-SG
Author: M. Halliday
Publication Date: 2007
$20.00

Protection of steel exposed to high temperature areas, in particular those which are insulated, provides some of the most demanding situations faced by coatings. Systems applied in these areas are required not only to give resistance to high operating temperatures (which are often cyclic) but also provide corrosion protection.

Practical Considerations for the Life Cycle Evaluation of Zinc Rich Coatings Galvanized Steel and Thermal Sprayed Metals for Industrial Structures in Moderate Environmental Exposures

Product Number: 41207-339-SG
Author: Jayson L. Helsel
Publication Date: 2007
$20.00

This paper provides an objective review of the life cycle costs of zinc-rich coating systems used in moderate industrial exposure environments. The coating systems include conventional inorganic/organic coatings, galvanizing, and thermal sprayed metal coatings (metallizing). Service life and installation cost data from previous studies is used to calculate the life cycle costs over a specified design life of an industrial structure.
