    Tarco announces the launch of two groundbreaking products: LeakBarrier 25RA self-adhered flashing membrane and LeakBarrier Butyl self-adhesive moisture barrier. These premium-grade, self-adhered flashing membranes offer unrivaled moisture protection in critical areas of construction, ensuring the long-term integrity and durability of building envelopes.

    LeakBarrier 25RA: A Superior SBS Self-Adhered Flashing Membrane

    LeakBarrier 25RA is a cost-effective, durable, and premium-grade SBS self-adhered flashing membrane that is specially engineered for superior performance. This product stands out for its exceptional tear and puncture resistance, offering a robust defense against the harshest elements.

    Designed to perform in a wide array of vertical and sloped applications, the 25-mil thickness of this versatile flashing ensures a formidable moisture barrier for an extensive range of design details: From window and door openings to the inside and outside corners of sheathing as well as many other applications, LeakBarrier 25RA excels. It can be used to accomplish the following:

    • Smoothly integrate into wall-to-wall tie-ins. 
    • Transition from decks to side walls. 
    • Wrap behind stone and masonry walls.
    • Secure sheathing panel seams. 
    • Reinforce foundation sill plates. 
    • Provide essential protection behind stucco finishes.

    Beyond its durability and superior coverage, LeakBarrier 25RA is fortified with 90-Day UV-resistance, thereby extending its longevity and maintaining its protective qualities under prolonged exposure to sunlight. 

    LeakBarrier Butyl: A High-Performance, Self-Adhesive Moisture Barrier

    The LeakBarrier Butyl stands out as a high-performance, self-adhered membrane in waterproofing technology. It features a robust butyl adhesive and a specially engineered polyethylene film that is suitable for a broad temperature range, including application temperatures as cold as 15 F.

    This 20-mil thick membrane excels on both vertical and sloped surfaces, providing a dependable watertight seal around joints, seams and penetrations. It is designed to meet a wide array of construction requirements including the following:

    • It offers protection against moisture and vapor. 
    • It is notable for its versatility across temperature variations.
    • The membrane can withstand both high and low temperature extremes.
    • Enhanced UV resistance allows for up to 120 days of exposure. 

    These attributes and others position LeakBarrier Butyl as an outstanding choice for those in search of a reliable and durable flashing membrane solution, emphasizing solid performance and reliability in diverse conditions.
