Drying Capacity
- The highest drying capacity in the industry allowing interior moisture to escape the building envelope.
- Ensures water-saturated sheathings dry quickly, preventing mold, mildew, rot, metal corrosion and reduced insulation thermal values.
Durability & Cost Effectiveness
- Cost effective flashing system for windows.
- Sustains 9 months of UV and climate exposure.
- Self-cinching, minimizes penetration point leaks and the need for sealant.
- Tear, rip and puncture resistant during and after construction, reducing repairs and labor costs.
- Installs easily and can span framing members without solid substrate providing moisture protection, facilitating cost-effective completion of the "dry-in" phase.
Environmental Sustainability
- Contributes to LEED points in Indoor Environmental Quality and Energy & Atmosphere.
- Is 100% recyclable.
Compatibility
- Compatible with multiple substrates: gypsum, OSB, plywood sheathing, rigid insulation, concrete block and pour-in-place concrete.
- Compatible with most major cladding systems; zinc, steel or aluminum siding, architectural composite wall panels, traditional or cement board stucco, EIFS, exterior insulation assemblies, natural or cultured stone, fire-rated panel assemblies to NFPA 285, face sealed systems, masonry veneer, and reclaimed wood.

 WALLSHIELD® self-cinches around fasteners, minimizing the need for sealant reducing construction time and costs

MAXIMUM DRYING CAPACITY WallShield water resistive barrier allows water vapor (gas) to permeate to the exterior and protects the building enclosure against liquid bulk water intrusion. |

EXTERIOR INSULATION OPTIONS Apply WallShield on either side of the exterior insulation, providing a secondary rain barrier. WallShield is a moisture vapor permeable and air permeable Weather Resistive Barrier for maximum drying capacity. |
