FAQ

Can DuPont™ Tyvek® Fluid Applied Flashing and Joint Compound+ be applied to the exterior sheathing when Tyvek® CommercialWrap® or CommercialWrap® D is installed as the air and water barrier?
Yes, when the architect-of-record, specifier, and/or building envelope consultant requires the exterior sheathing seam be treated prior to the installation for DuPont™ Tyvek® CommercialWrap® products, DuPont™ Tyvek® Fluid Applied Flashing and Joint Compound+ may be used.The professional installer must allow the Fluid Applied products to cure for a minimum of 48 hours prior to installing the Tyvek® CommercialWrap™ products.
Does DuPont offer fluid applied flashing solutions for recessed integral flanged windows?
Yes, we have a specific to recessed windows with Tyvek® mechanically fastened wrap on the wall.This guide is currently being updated to reflect the DuPont™ Tyvek® Fluid Applied Flashing and Joint Compound+ use for this condition. The installation guides for DuPont Weatherization Systems products can be found at: http://www.dupont.com/products-and-services/construction-materials/building-envelope-systems/articles/how-to-install.html
Is the DuPont™ Tyvek® Fluid Applied Flashing and Joint Compound+ better as a sheathing treatment membrane or as a flashing membrane?
Both. DuPont™ engineered the DuPont™ Tyvek® Fluid Applied Flashing and Joint Compound+ to meet the needs of the commercial market by offering dual functionality.

DuPont™ Tyvek® Fluid Applied Flashing and Joint Compound+ offers dual functionality:

It is ideal for projects that require both a flashing material (especially for window openings with complex geometries) and a joint compound that performs well on sheathing seams, penetrations, or other discontinuities in the wall.

What are the theoretical coverage rates for DuPont™ Tyvek® Fluid Applied WB+™ and Flashing and Joint Compound+ products?
DuPont™ Tyvek® Fluid Applied WB+™: Coverage rates range from 50-65 sf/gal depending on substrate. At 99% solids, Tyvek® Fluid Applied WB+ offers 2 to 3 times the coverage of competitive products and it can be applied in one coat, depending on substrate condition (temperature and moisture), substrate porosity, and uniformity of application.

DuPont™ Tyvek® Fluid Applied Flashing and Joint Compound+: Coverage is 2.5-3.5 fl/oz as an exterior sheathing seam treatment depending on substrate condition (temperature and moisture), substrate porosity, and uniformity of application. As a flashing membrane applied/extracted from 3.5-gal pail the estimated coverage is 50-60 sf/gal.

How is DuPont™ Tyvek® Fluid Applied Fluid Applied Flashing and Joint Compound+ packaged?
Tyvek® Fluid Applied Flashing and Joint Compound+ is available in a 3.5-gallon pail and 28 oz cartridges.
At what mil thickness should DuPont™ Fluid Applied Flashing and Joint Compound+ be applied over the jambs and head fins of an integral flanged windows?
60 mils. However, the DuPont™ Fluid Applied Flashing and Joint Compound+ along the rough opening should be applied at 25 mils prior to the installation of the integral flanged window.
Are there additional application locations where DuPont requires DuPont™ Fluid Applied Flashing and Joint Compound+ be applied at 60 mils?
Yes, the interface between dissimilar materials should be treated in this way. Apply a bead of Tyvek® Fluid Applied Flashing and Joint Compound+ to both adjoining surfaces and spread material across transition seam to a width of approximately 2” and 60 mils thick. DuPont™ StraightFlash™ can also be used to treat the interface of dissimilar adjoining materials.
What is the shelf life for DuPont™ Tyvek® Fluid Applied products?
The shelf life is 12 months for an unopened container from the date of manufacture.  Reference the “Use By” date printed on the container. You may store opened containers with a plastic protective liner to slow cure rate. Before reusing a previously opened container, first remove any cured material that may have formed (skinned over) at the top. The uncured product underneath is fit for use.
Are the DuPont™ Tyvek® Fluid Applied products “self-sealing” or “self-healing”?
Some fluid applied air barrier membranes, including DuPont™ Tyvek® Fluid Applied, will exhibit some “self-gasketing” properties, but DuPont does not consider them to be “self-sealing” or “self-healing” when fully cured. Certain fasteners, such as self-tapping screws, can destroy the membrane as they pass through it. DuPont performs extensive water penetration testing on wall assemblies and tests our permeable commercial air and water barrier systems up to the high-performance pressure differential of 15 psf, and recommends pre-treating any mechanically attached support fasteners. For detailed fastener recommendations, please see the DuPont™ Tyvek® Fluid Applied WB+™ Wall and Substrate Guidelines at www.fluidapplied.tyvek.com.
