Description
Seaman Corporation is vertically integrated, which allows
complete control over the manufacturing process from the
selection of yarns, to the engineering, knitting and weaving
of the base fabrics to the final thermoplastic coating process.
Today, Fibertite Roof Membranes are the result of Seaman
Corporation’s 70-plus years of applied fabric, engineering and
coating technology.
FiberTite VBX Air and Vapor Barrier is a reinforced thermoplastic
membrane designed for use on low-slope commercial/ industrial
roofs as an air and vapor barrier to provide a continuous membrane
to restrict or prevent the passage of air from the building into
the thermal roof assembly. VBX membrane may provide UV and
weather-ability resistance for up to 180 days. The membrane
is designed to provide enhanced durability through fabric
reinforcement which provides both tear and puncture resistance.
Application
• Mechanically Attached
FiberTite VBX Membrane is
installed by mechanically
fastening the membrane to a
steel roof deck utilizing FiberTite
1 ¼” Magnum Fasteners and
Magnum Plus Stress Plates.
• The Air and Vapor Barrier Membrane is made watertight by the
use of hot-air welding equipment to seal overlapping membrane
seams, creating a monolithic waterproofing surface.
• Sealing around roof penetrations (e.g. pipes and HVAC curbs) is
completed by the use of conventional FiberTite Flashing Details.
Compatible Substrates
Steel roof decks • Gypsum Roof Board
Storage
Store FiberTite Air and Vapor Barrier Membrane rolls lying
down, elevated above the ground or roof deck, and completely
covered with tarpaulins. Packaging is not considered adequate
for outdoor storage.
