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.
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.
