Intelligent Membranes – Application & Coverage Rates

Coverage will vary with substrate type, porosity, and surface condition. Always check thickness with a wet film gauge during application to guarantee certified performance.


Passive Purple External / Passive Purple X / Passive Purple Retrofit

Substrates: OSB, plasterboard, blockwork, brickwork

  • OSB & Plasterboard → approx. 0.8–1.0 kg/m² (10–12 m² per tub)
  • Blockwork & Brickwork → approx. 1.0–1.2 kg/m² (8–10 m² per tub)

Notes:

  • Fire Class B airtight paint (External version).
  • KIWA, ICC, and Passivhaus certified.
  • Vapour-open, airtight, and smoke-tight.
  • X = new build focus; Retrofit = retrofit focus.

Supergrip

Substrates: Smooth or non-porous surfaces (metals, plastics, sealed surfaces)

  • All substrates → approx. 0.2–0.3 kg/m² (≈33–50 m² per tub)

Notes:

  • High-grip primer.

Lime Prime

Substrates: Lime plasters, stone, porous masonry

  • All substrates → approx. 0.15–0.25 kg/m² (≈40–65 m² per tub)

Notes:

  • Breathable primer for mineral substrates.

IM Primer

Substrates: Porous or dusty surfaces

  • All substrates → approx. 0.15–0.25 kg/m² (≈40–65 m² per tub)

Notes:

  • General-purpose primer.
  • Can be applied by roller, brush, or spray.

Key Notes

  • OSB & plasterboard absorb less → lower consumption.
  • Blockwork & brickwork are more porous → higher consumption.
  • Waterproofing membranes require two coats for full performance.
  • Always use a wet film gauge to confirm correct application thickness.
