TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION

AIR BARRIERS GREEN PRODUCTS HIGH STRENGTH & SEISMIC SYSTEMS Green HOHMANN & BARNARD'S TEXTROFLASH™ GREEN Self-Adhering Air and Vapor Barrier Manufactured from 45% recycled material This unique self-adhesive membrane can function as a total air/vapor barrier system or as a detail sheet for our Textroflash Liquid air/vapor barrier system, or as a thru wall flashing membrane. Because of its non-drooling clear adhesive and tough spun-bonded polypropylene film, Textroflash Green can be installed as a flashing system without fear of "bleed-out" associated with asphaltic based membranes, and provides up to 90 days of UV stability for prolonged exposure as an air/vapor barrier system. Textroflash Green is the first truly environmentally friendly water resistant membrane developed from the "green" leaders in the masonry industry, Hohmann & Barnard! HOHMANN & BARNARD'S TEXTROFLASH™ LIQUID Air and Vapor Barrier The unique composition of this single component material enables dual usage as both a permeable and non-permeable air/vapor barrier system. Textroflash Liquid can also be exposed to UV for up to 145 days, much longer than many products on the market today.

TEXTROFLASH™ LIQUID VP is a vapor permeable air barrier. The "breathable" barrier allows proper drainage in various types of wall systems and promotes drying of the wall cavity in either direction. It provides protection from the effects of energy loss, condensation, efflorescence, bacterial growth and mold. More environmentally friendly than other spray applied products, Textroflash™ Liquid VP is a resilient, seamless membrane with water-resistant properties.
