Ruvitex Self-Adhesive Aluminium Vapour barrier
Ruvitex Self-Adhesive Aluminium VCL is a cold-applied, self-adhesive bituminous air and vapour barrier which is saturated and coated with high quality SBS (Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene) modified bitumen. It has an integrated aluminium foil layer, a glass fibre reinforcement and is finished on the underside with a removable siliconised film.
Typical Use
Ruvitex Self-Adhesive Aluminium VCL is designed for use as a high performance air and vapour barrier, and is ideal for use on either metal profiled or plywood decking and in areas prone to increased temperatures and moisture levels (e.g. factories, swimming pools, gyms. Ruvitex Self-Adhesive Aluminium VCL should be used as part of a multi-layer built-up roofing system.
In order to achieve a sufficient bond, the substrate should be dry, free of oil, fat and dust and other impurities. Before applying the Ruvitex Self- Adhesive Aluminium VCL membrane ensure that the substrate surface is primed with a suitable bituminous
solution primer or bituminous emulsion primer and this should be allowed to dry.

Application Guidelines
Ruvitex Self-Adhesive Aluminium VCL should be installed in accordance with manufacturer recommendations and
all relevant national standards and codes of practice, including BS 8217: 2005 – the code of practice for reinforced bitumen membranes for roofing. The membrane should be unrolled, aligned and set into position alongside other rolls and profiled
decking. Once aligned, one end of the siliconised film should be peeled back. The edge of the Ruvitex Self-Adhesive
Aluminium VCL membrane can then be pressed to the profiled decking substrate. The product should then be unrolled on to the deck whilst simultaneously pulling off the siliconised film. At all times, we recommend that this product is installed in accordance
with the NFRC’s Safe2Torch guidelines. The Ruvitex Self-Adhesive Aluminium VCL should have the thermal insulation applied over it within 14 days of the VCL being installed.
Ruvitex Self-Adhesive Aluminium VCL is water resistant and is resistant to watery solutions of salt, diluted nonoxidising acids and bases. Aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, as well as chlorine hydrocarbons, oils and greases may loosen the product and should therefore be avoided.
