AIR-SHIELD™ THRU-WALL FLASHING
AIR-SHIELD™ LOW TEMP
AIR-SHIELD™ XLT

AIR-SHIELD self-adhering air/vapor and liquid moisture barrier is a part of a total system to complete the building envelope. It is a roll-type product that is nominally 40 mils thick. This unique, self-adhesive membrane, protected by a special release paper, is strong and durable. It remains flexible when surface mounted and will adhere to most primed surfaces at minimum
temperatures of 40° F (4° C).
