BRINC Building Products, an award-winning continuous insulation manufacturer, recently introduced a new fluid-applied flashing and sealant for use with its signature products, ThermalBuck and ThermalTight. The company plans to fully transition to the new product, BRINC Fluid FS, beginning in April, and will back its performance with the same 15-year air and watertight limited warranty.
Flashing tapes are known for their high cost, difficulty of use, and failures caused by poor adhesion over time. Furthermore, tapes create upward facing seams on the building envelope, creating an entry point for bulk water around wrinkles.
“BRINC Fluid FS is a single product to seal and flash ThermalBuck™ to the rough opening. It also seals the joints of ThermalTight™ panels, underneath the integrated flaps, completely eliminating tapes from the building envelope,” said John Brooks, president of BRINC Building Products.
Brooks also explained that BRINC Fluid FS more easily applied to irregularly shaped penetrations and window details.
The product is compatible with most common building materials, including rigid foamed insulation, window flanges and casings, wood framing and sheathing, steel, aluminum, concrete, and masonry.
BRINC Fluid FS is now available in 20-ounce sausage tubes through all ThermalTight and ThermalBuck distributors, and directly from BRINC Building Products.
