Reinforced hydrosafe® high-performance vapour check, suitable for all fibrous insulation materials
Advantages
- Best possible protection against moisture damage to structures and mould because this product is humidity-variable with a variation of a factor of over 100
- Can be combined with all fibrous insulation materials (including blown-in insulation)
- Permanent protection: performance tested and certified by independent testing authority (ETA-18/1146)
- Protected winter building sites thanks to hydrosafe® behaviour
- Test winner in April 2012 with the German product-testing foundation ‘Stiftung Warentest’
- Easy to work with: dimensionally stable, no splitting or tear propagation
- Excellent values in hazardous substance testing, has been tested according to the ISO 16000 evaluation scheme
Areas of application
Vapour check (alternate terms: vapour control or retarder) membrane for use on roofs, walls, ceilings and floors on structures that are open or closed to diffusion on the exterior, e.g. flat/pitched roofs and green roofs, after appropriate design calculations have been carried out.
Operating principle
Maximum protection against mould and moisture damage to structures
INTELLO membranes work on the principle of climate-controlled membranes: the fleece membranes provide a seal against moisture in winter, whereas the molecular structure becomes more open in summer and facilitates drying out in a reliable manner.
Maximum protection against mould and moisture damage to structures
A tried-and-tested principle
INTELLO works on the principle of climate-controlled membranes: the fleece membranes provide a seal against moisture in winter, whereas the molecular structure becomes more open in summer and facilitates drying out in a reliable manner.
The variability of the diffusion resistance of the high-performance INTELLO systems guarantees impressive protection against moisture damage to structures, even on demanding structures that are impermeable to diffusion to the outside such as pitched roofs with sheet metal covering, roofing underlays with asphalt roof membranes, flat roofs and green roofs.
The durability of the humidity-variable properties of INTELLO and INTELLO PLUS has been independently tested and confirmed by a testing institute. They will protect the structure for the whole service life of the building.
Seasonal intelligence
In winter, INTELLO reduces or stops the penetration of moisture into roofs and walls with its sd value of over 25 m (g value > 125 MN·s/g ; vapour permeance < 0.13 US perms) – moisture transport of less than 7 g/m² per week. In summer, the vapour check (alternate terms: vapour control or retarder) membranes allow water vapour to escape. The sd value of 0.25 m (g value 1.25 MN·s/g ; vapour permeance 13 US perms) corresponds to moisture transport of over 500 g/m² per week – which represents an exceptional drying-out capacity.
Low moisture transport in winter – high degree of drying in summer: unforeseen moisture can dry out of the insulation over and over again, meaning that mould has no chance to form.
This intelligent diffusion adaptation behaviour is designed to be particularly powerful and adheres to pro clima’s reliability philosophy: to achieve the best possible protection against moisture damage to structures, the drying reserve must be greater than the largest theoretically possible moisture loading.
With INTELLO, winter building sites are not a problem! With its high hydrosafe® value of over 2 m, it keeps building components dry – even if there is a lot of moisture arising from new building work in winter.
And with its sd value with a variation of a factor of over 100, INTELLO ensures reliably protected building components for the whole service life of the building.
