Preparation and Application of Sprayable Silyl-Terminated Polymer Air Barrier on CMU

Demonstration will show what an acceptable CMU substrate for application of air barrier materials looks like, how to prepare Sprayable Cat 5 air barrier coating for application, discuss proper pump specifications for spraying the material, and demonstrate best practices for spraying Sprayable Cat 5, a Silyl-Terminated Polymer air barrier to a CMU substrate, while providing “tips & tricks” along the way.

Objectives:

1. Discuss Silyl-Terminated Polymer (STP) chemistry air barrier and their capabilities
2. Demonstrate what an acceptable CMU surface is for the application of air barrier coatings
3. Show how to properly mix and prepare air barrier coating for application
4. Share proper pump, hose and spray tip specification for the spray application
5. Demonstrate best practices for the spray application on a CMU substrate
