Profoil 861 – Heavyweight, UV Stabilized Vapour Control Layer for High-Risk Applications

Size: 2m x 50m

Profoil 861 is a premium, heavyweight vapour control layer specifically designed for demanding environments and high-risk applications. With its reinforced, UV-stabilized construction and high-performance vapour resistance, this membrane is built to withstand tough site conditions while offering maximum protection against moisture infiltration.

The core feature of Profoil 861 is its aluminium foil layer, which provides a high water vapour resistance value of Sd 1700m. This exceptional vapour resistance makes it particularly suited for high-risk areas, such as swimming pools (unaffected by chlorine), textile factories, and leisure centres, where moisture control is crucial to maintaining structural integrity and preventing condensation.

Key Features:

• Ideal for High-Risk Applications: Profoil 861 is specifically designed for use in environments that demand high levels of vapour resistance, such as leisure centres, swimming pools, and textile factories. Its ability to resist water vapour ensures that these spaces are protected from moisture damage, preventing the formation of condensation, mold, and other moisture-related issues.

• High Vapour Resistance (Sd 1700m): The aluminium foil core of Profoil 861 offers an exceptional vapour resistance of Sd 1700m, making it one of the most effective vapour control layers available. This high level of vapour resistance ensures that water vapour is effectively blocked from passing through, keeping moisture out of walls, roofs, and insulation systems.

• Chlorine Resistant: Profoil 861 is completely unaffected by chlorine, making it the perfect choice for swimming pools and other chemically harsh environments. Its polyethylene-protected aluminium foil ensures that the membrane remains corrosion-resistant, even in areas where chlorine exposure is common.

• Robust and Tear-Resistant: The reinforced scrim within the Profoil 861 membrane ensures that it remains durable and tear-resistant, even in tough site conditions. This robust construction helps to minimize tears during installation, ensuring long-term performance and reliability, even in challenging environments.

• UV-Stabilized and Corrosion-Resistant: Profoil 861 is UV-stabilized, ensuring that it is not degraded by sunlight exposure during construction. Additionally, the aluminium foil is encapsulated by polyethylene on both sides, protecting it from corrosive conditions and extending the lifespan of the membrane in high-risk environments.

Applications:

• Swimming Pools and Leisure Centres: Due to its chlorine-resistant properties and high vapour resistance, Profoil 861 is ideal for swimming pool areas and leisure centres where the control of moisture and vapour is critical. It ensures that moisture does not penetrate walls or ceilings, preventing damage to the building structure.

• Textile Factories and Industrial Applications: Textile factories often produce high levels of humidity, making them susceptible to moisture buildup and condensation. Profoil 861 provides a robust vapour control solution in these environments, helping to maintain a dry and stable environment.

• Roofing and Wall Applications: Profoil 861 can be used in a variety of construction applications, including walls and roofs, where its high vapour resistance helps protect insulation and building materials from moisture, ensuring long-term structural integrity.

• Insulation Systems: Profoil 861 is ideal for use in conjunction with insulation systems, providing an airtight barrier that prevents moisture from entering the insulation, thereby maintaining its thermal efficiency and prolonging its lifespan.

Benefits:

• Exceptional Moisture Control: With an Sd value of 1700m, Profoil 861 provides one of the highest levels of vapour resistance available, making it an essential choice for areas where moisture control is critical to preventing condensation and protecting building materials.

• Long-Term Durability: The reinforced scrim and UV-stabilized construction of Profoil 861 ensure that it remains durable and resistant to tears, even under challenging site conditions. Its corrosion-resistant properties also help to extend its lifespan in chemically harsh environments.

• Easy to Install: Profoil 861 is designed to be easy to handle and install, with its tear-resistant scrim providing additional durability during installation. This makes it an efficient choice for contractors looking for a reliable and robust vapour control solution.

• Protection Against Harsh Chemicals: The polyethylene protection on both sides of the aluminium foil ensures that Profoil 861 is not affected by exposure to chemicals such as chlorine, making it an ideal choice for high-risk environments like swimming pools and industrial facilities.
