Passive Purple Airtight White
VOC-Free Airtight, Vapour & Gas Control Membrane
Passive Purple Airtight White is a VOC-free, water-based airtight membrane providing reliable vapour control and protection against radon and methane gases — without any nasty chemicals or fumes.
Ideal for those on-site “oops” moments, it can be applied directly onto plasterboard if a vapour control layer has been missed. When used with IM Primer, it can be left on show or painted over, making it perfect for exposed environments such as car parks, museums, and stairwells.
Once dry, it forms a tough yet flexible polymer membrane that moves with the building and resists impact damage — eliminating the rips, tears, staple holes and failed tapes associated with traditional paper membranes.
Less labour. Less waste. More performance.

Where It Works Best
Airtight White is designed for:
- Internal retrofit airtightness upgrades
- Areas where white needs to be left exposed (lofts, basements, services zones, car parks, lift shafts, stair wells or plant rooms)
- Floor, wall, and ceilings
- Vertical and horizontal areas
- Service penetrations when paired with Airtight White Brush for detailing
Whether sprayed for large-scale speed or rolled for smaller retrofit projects, Airtight White delivers a seamless, durable, and attractive airtight layer that protects energy performance while looking good enough to leave uncovered.
