Description

Summary
  • Passive Purple External is a fire-rated, waterproof, vapour-breathable liquid-applied membrane providing airtightness, weather protection and intelligent moisture management for internal and external facades.


Key benefits & features
  • Fire Class B / ASTM E84 Class A — enhanced fire resistance compared with standard membranes.
  • Raintight and vapour-breathable — repels liquid water while allowing vapour to pass (outward drying).
  • Airtight & smoke-tight — forms a complete barrier to uncontrolled air leakage and smoke movement.
  • UV resistant & self-cleaning — long-term external durability with reduced dirt pickup.
  • Anti-fungus protection — rated to resist mould growth.
  • Crack-bridging — maintains airtightness across minor movement and cracks.
  • Concrete protection — carbonation/CO2 barrier, salt protection and realkalisation properties.
  • Dual-purpose — suitable for both internal and external use, retrofit and new-build projects.
  • VOC-free, water-based — safer for applicators and building occupants.
  • Fast application — a single installer using an airless spray device can cover up to ~300 m² per day.


Tested & certified
  • Reaction to fire Euroclass B-s1,d0 (EN 13501-1 on specified substrates) and ASTM E84 Class A (Flame Spread 0 / Smoke 15).
  • Watertight Class W1 (EN 13859-2) and water permeability Class W3 (EN 1062-3); near-zero water absorption (EN 16302).
  • Breathable / vapour-open — Sd ≈ 0.6 m (EN ISO 12572).
  • Crack-bridging A3 (23°C) / A4 (-10°C) (EN 1062-7) and CO₂ / carbonation barrier Class C1 (EN 1062-6).
  • Low-emission EMICODE EC2 · anti-fungus (rating 0) · Kiwa BDA Agrément (BAW-21-214-P-A-UK) · Passive House component (phB) · US ICC-ES AC212 water-resistive barrier.


Uses, substrates & compatibility
  • Suitable for timber frame, retrofit and new build façades.
  • Adheres to: concrete and brick walls; engineered timber panels / OSB; insulation boards and panels; fibre cement boards; and many other construction substrates.


Directions for use (summary)
  • Surface preparation: remove salt efflorescence, dust and loose materials; ensure no standing water; fill holes and joints with a fast-setting cement-based product or suitable foam prior to application.
  • Application conditions: substrate temperature above 5°C; application on humid surfaces permitted provided standing water is removed; do not add water or solvents; avoid application in direct full sunlight or during rain.
  • Application method: airless spray (recommended for large areas) or roller (for smaller areas and touch-ups). Always apply two coats; allow the first coat to dry fully before applying the second. Clean tools with water immediately after use.


Packaging, colour & size
  • Size: 10 kg pack.
  • Colours available: Purple, Black, Cream, White.


Additional notes
  • Provides combined airtightness, weather resistance and long-term structural protection in a single certified liquid membrane.
  • Designed for architects, builders and retrofit specialists requiring certified performance (fire, watertightness and breathability).


Technical specifications
  • Usage: External and Internal.
  • Applied by: Airless spray or roller.
  • Colour options: Purple, Black, Cream, White.
  • Size: 10 kg per pack.
  • Fire rating: Euroclass B-s1,d0 (EN 13501-1) on specified substrates; ASTM E84 Class A (US).
  • Watertight: Class W1 (EN 13859-2); water permeability Class W3 (EN 1062-3); near-zero water absorption (EN 16302).
  • Vapour openness: Sd ≈ 0.6 m (EN ISO 12572).
  • Crack-bridging: A3 (23°C) / A4 (-10°C) (EN 1062-7).
  • CO₂ / carbonation barrier: Class C1 (EN 1062-6).
  • EMICODE: EC2 (low emission).
  • Anti-fungus rating: 0 (resistance to mould growth).
  • Approvals: Kiwa BDA Agrément (BAW-21-214-P-A-UK); Passive House component (phB); ICC-ES AC212 (US water-resistive barrier).
  • Applicator productivity: up to ~300 m²/day per installer with airless spray (project dependent).
  • VOC: Water-based, completely VOC-free.
