No Primer Required on Most Common Construction Materials Ensuring reliable performance and quick installation, 3M™ Air Barrier with Permeable Backing 3015VP eliminates the need for a high VOC solvent based primer prior to application. This tough Barrier (PDF, 1.56 Mb) film seals around nails while remaining conformable and flexible, yet it is difficult to tear. Quick installation offers a positive impact on project scheduling.

Membrane Self-Seals to Reduce Moisture Intrusion 3M™ Air Barrier with Permeable Backing (PDF, 207.2 Kb) 3015VP works in varied climates, which permits an extended application surface temperature range between 0°F (-18°C) and 150°F (66°C) and a service temperature range from -40°F (-40°C) to 240°F (116°C). It self-seals if penetrated, quickly closing around nails and staples to further reduce moisture intrusion. Use this material to help prevent moisture condensation by keeping the air temperature curve higher than the dew point throughout the wall.

3M™ Air Barrier with Permeable Backing 3015VP is a self-adhered vapor permeable, wind and water resistant membrane with an aggressive acrylic adhesive and a breathable film. Primer is not required on most construction surfaces. This reverse-wound roll allows for longer roll lengths, increasing contractor productivity.
