Passive Purple Brush - Airtight Paint 6.9KG
What is Passive Purple Brush?
Passive Purple Brush is a fibre-reinforced, liquid-applied airtight membrane designed for detailed airtightness work. Applied with a simple paintbrush, it creates a permanent, seamless vapour-control layer that seals tricky gaps and penetrations where spraying or rolling is difficult.
Where is it used?
Passive Purple Brush is ideal for:
- Service penetrations (pipes, cables, ducts)
- Window and door frames
- Floor-to-wall and wall-to-ceiling junctions
- Cracks and gaps up to 5mm
- Touch-ups after air testing or snagging
Why use the Brush version?
Unlike spray-applied Passive Purple, the Brush version contains fibres that span and seal larger cracks and irregularities. This makes it the go-to airtight paint for precision work, detailing, and repairs, while still delivering the same Passivhaus-certified airtightness as the main system.
Surface preparation
- Ensure surfaces are solid, dust-free, and closed.
- Large gaps (>5mm): Fill with cement-based filler or foam before application.
- Small to medium gaps (2–5mm): Passive Purple Brush can be applied directly.
Application & coverage
- Applied with a flat paintbrush.
- Easy to use for small projects and detailed work.
- Once cured, it can be painted, plastered, or rendered over.
Why airtightness matters
Air leakage through cracks and junctions:
- Reduces energy efficiency
- Allows draughts, damp, and mould
- Can compromise Passivhaus and building regulations compliance
By sealing with Passive Purple Brush, you ensure every junction is airtight, securing energy performance and long-term building health.
