New easy-to-use self-adhering SBS product provides extra protection where it counts, under metal, tile or shingle residential and commercial roofing applications

Tarco today announced LeakBarrier™ Ice and Water Armor, a new self-adhering underlayment that helps protect a building’s deck or internal structure against leaks from ice- and water-damming and wind-driven rain.

LeakBarrier Ice and Water Armor underlayments are highly effective in critical roofing areas such as valleys, ridges, coping-joints, chimneys, vents, dormers, skylights and low-slope sections. They are suitable for residential roofing applications as well as small-to-midsize commercial applications such as the buildings in strip malls and professional office complexes. They can also function as a vapor barrier in commercial roofing applications.

The new products consist of a high tack, SBS-modified asphalt, which is reinforced with a glass fiber mat to ensure stability during installation. Products are available in one and two square rolls. (One square rolls are 36 inches wide by 33.4 ft length and two square rolls are 36 inches wide by 66.7 ft length.)

A split-back release film is provided to allow for easy handling and installation. This film peels off to expose the adhesive, which adheres directly to concrete, plywood, wood composition board and gypsum sheathing decks.

Two different skid resistance surfaces provide improved footing for safe application.

PS200 Ice and Water Armor underlayment (typical thickness 40 mils) has a skid-resistant smooth surface that is ideal for tile and metal roof applications. MS 300 Ice and Water Armor underlayment (typical thickness 60 mils) is coated with a mineral surface that provides enhanced skid resistance for safe applications with all types of residential roofing systems. LeakBarrier Ice and Water Armor self-adhering underlayments meet ASTM D-1970. They provide self-sealing around nails, preventing moisture penetration. These products are available for multiple climates and warranted to be free from manufacturer’s defects.
