Pro Clima Solitex Adhero is a self-adhesive, vapour permeable external breather membrane for use on masonry and timber structures. It can be quickly applied to immediately provide a wind and weathertight seal on buildings. Once applied, a costly construction tent is not required to protect the building from the elements during construction.
Pro Clima Solitex Adhero windtight breather membrane is suitable for use on masonry and timber surfaces on walls, roofs and floors. On large scale multi-storey constructions, it can also be used on exposed horizontal surfaces like flat roofs and top floors to protect the construction below from rain and weather.
Solitex Adhero provides a complete wind and watertight seal for the life of the building and acts as an effective breather membrane. It has high tensile strength and durability. This means it can be walked over without damage and left uncovered, directly exposed to the weather, for up to 3 months. On large multi-storey constructions, Solitex Adhero is used to quickly “wrap” the building to make it watertight as soon as possible; long before the roof or external cladding is completed. This saves costs, as a protective tent around the building will not be required.
In airtight constructions where plaster is used to airtight seal brick or blockwork, it is not always possible to plaster behind pipes. Adhero can assist in this situation to provide airtightness behind the pipes where the plaster cannot be applied. Adhero may also be applied over the whole surface area of masonry walls to achieve an airtight seal, as an alternative to plaster.
Thanks to Solitex Adhero’s self-adhesive backing of a specialist pressure sensitive acrylic adhesive, large areas of wall can be sealed for weather tightness quickly and effectively.
Installation is easy thanks to its split release film; the self-adhesive backing is revealed in stages so a puncture free installation, with no staples, can be quickly achieved without the use of tape.
Adhero can also be used to streamline the sequencing of airtight work. It can quickly make a brick/block wall airtight so other work can continue without having to wait for plastering and its drying times.
The windtight membrane within Solitex Adhero is non-porous, so it is 100% windtight. The breathability occurs due to diffusion of moisture vapour through the membrane itself, rather than via microscopic holes or pores (which occurs in conventional micro-porous membranes). This is known as a monolithic membrane.
