Advanced technologies to enhance the building envelope
-
3M air barrier membranes and flashing tapes are the most advanced building materials from the most experienced adhesive experts. Because when you need it to work, you need 3M. We know what sticks, and that’s why our air barrier membranes and tapes work with just about anything. Whether you need them to stick to your materials or you need your sealants to stick to them, our products work harder so you don’t have to.
With a wider temperature range for application and longer UV resistance than any other products available, our membranes and tapes also help you extend your building season. They’re designed to work seamlessly on even the hardest jobs, which means faster installation, less labor, and better results.
