DensDefy Liquid Barrier is the most recent addition to Georgia-Pacific Building Products’ DensDefy wall sheathing barrier product line.
On gypsum sheathing, wood sheathing, concrete walls, and CMU, the fluid-applied barrier is intended to provide a long-lasting, air- and water-resistant outer membrane.
The DensDefy Liquid Barrier is a single-component, monolithic, elastometric, STP-based water and air barrier that is designed to keep water and air out.
The coating dries quickly, even in damp conditions, and is vapor permeable, allowing damp surfaces to dry.
The solution is intended to complement Georgia Pacific’s existing sheathing products, such as the DensElement Barrier System and ForceField Weather Barrier.
The products work together to form a long-lasting protective layer on a variety of substrates, including Georgia-DensGlass Pacific’s Gold Sheathing.
“DensDefy Liquid Barrier helps architects design effectively using a system of high-performance products that are designed to work together,” said Jason Peace, vice president of marketing and product management at Georgia-Pacific Building Products.
“The inherent benefits of STP technology can provide labor and time savings for our general contractor friends, and when combined with full manufacturer support, the DensElement Barrier System and DensDefy Products simplify a highly fractured market.”
The product is applied with a roller or a spray, with no additional trades or tools required.
It is compatible with many existing sealants and waterproofing accessories, and it bonds to the vast majority of common materials without priming.
It can be applied in wet weather and on damp substrates, as well as at temperatures as low as 25°F, and it cures at temperatures as low as 32°F.
The barrier is impervious to rain and can withstand exposure to the elements for up to 12 months.
