The Challenge: The"Aggressive" Environment
Building an indoor pool is a battle against moisture. The air is warm,
humid, and laden with chemicals. If that moisture vapor passes through your
walls or roof, it condenses inside the structure.- The Risk: Rotting timber frames, rusting steel, and crumbling insulation within months of opening.
- The Failure Point: Traditional paper
membranes rely on tape. In the humid heat of a pool hall, glues can degrade, tapes can lift, and overlaps become leak points
-
The Solution: Passive Purple(Standard)
Passive Purple acts as a monolithic, bulletproof vest for your building's structure.
Because it is applied as a liquid, it dries into a single, continuous rubber-like skin. There are no joints to fail. It chemically bonds to the surface, creating an impenetrable barrier that stops moisture migration dead.
Why Pool Builders Switch to Liquid
- Complex Shapes: Pool halls often feature vaulted ceilings, curved roofs, or complex ductwork for dehumidifiers. Taping sheets around these is nearly impossible. Painting them with Passive Purple is easy.
- Chemical Resistance: Once cured, the membrane is tough and durable, designed to withstand the harsh internal environment of a pool.
- Visual Peace of Mind: It dries Purple. You can stand back and visually verify that every inch of the room is sealed before you cover it up.
-
CRITICAL: The Thickness Rule
Please read this section carefully.
Passive Purple is fully certified for use in swimming pools, BU the application method is different from a standard house.
To handle the extreme vapor pressure of a pool hall, Passive Purple must be applied at a greater thickness than standard.
- Standard Build: Standard coverage rates apply.
- Swimming Pool: You must apply a thicker coat to achieve a higher specific vapor resistance.
- How to Verify: You must use a Wet Film Gauge during application to ensure you are hitting the required
micron thickness specified in our technical datasheet.
Do not guess. Measure.

Important: Which Product?
Use:Passive Purple (Internal / Standard) This is the correct formulation for high-humidity indoor environments.
Do NOT Use:Passive Purple X While Passive Purple X is great for fire ratings, it is no designed for the specific vapor dynamics of a swimming pool hall. Stick to the classic Passive Purple.
Application Guide for Pools
- Surface Prep: Ensure concrete block, concrete, or timber is clean and dust-free.
- The "Pool Spray": Apply Passive Purple using an airless sprayer for the best finish.
- Gauge Check: Stop regularly and check
the wet film thickness. If it's too thin, go over it again immediately. - Cure: Allow to dry to its signature Purple finish.
- Finish: You can now install your battens, insulation, or specialist pool-grade plaster finishes.
Protect Your Structure Forever
