FiberTite® VBX Air and Vapor Barrier™

Seaman Corporation’s FiberTite® VBX™ Air and Vapor Barrier Membrane is designed for installation on steel roof

decks as the base layer of the roof assembly.

Specification
  • 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.
