26 | Water-based barrier
W. R. MEADOWS formulated its Air-Shield LMP to act as an air
and liquid moisture barrier that can be applied to most common
surfaces and inte-
grated into various
wall systems in
new construction
or retrofit appli-
cations. When
applied to rough
or smooth sur-
faces, the water-
based barrier
cures to form a
seamless, elasto-
meric membrane
that is highly flex-
ible and UV-resistant.
