Two newly developed products exceed current fire safety regulation levels for high rise and high risk buildings, while providing structural and weather protection
Partel, a manufacturer of airtight and windtight membranes, has developed two new fire-rated breather membranes.
Exoperm Duro A1 and Exoperm Mono Duro A2 high-performance membranes are designed to achieve the highest levels of fire performance, while protecting the building structure by allowing vapour to diffuse from within the structure towards the exterior. This prevents ‘thermal bypass’ of external air through the insulation and performs the secondary task of weather protection.
Suited to offsite and onsite construction, residential or commercial projects, Exoperm Duro A1 and Exoperm Mono Duro A2 are fully independently certified and tested in accordance with BS EN 13501-1.
The membranes are compliant with Document B Fire Safety and are suitable for use in a range of external wall types, especially in high rise buildings or those that pose a greater risk of fire safety.
About Exoperm Duro A1
- Non-combustible and suitable for use on closed joint facades.
- Alongside fire performance, its technical attributes ensure long-term protection of the assembly, with a highly vapour open Sd value of 0.03 m, along with resistance to water penetration and dimensional stability.
About Exoperm Mono Duro A2
- Innovative airtight yet vapour permeable facade membrane based on monolithic technology.
- Class A2-s1,d0, guaranteeing limited combustibility, absent or very limited smoke emissions and no burning droplets.
- Suitable for use on open or closed joint facades and balances airtightness, moisture management and secondary weather protection with fire performance.
