Carlisle CCW Barritech NP Fluid-Applied Air & Vapor Barrier, Dark Blue Synthetic Polymer Membrane, 5 Gallon or 50 Gallon
Carlisle CCW Barritech NP is a single-component, fluid-applied air, vapor, and water-resistive barrier membrane for exterior wall assemblies. Applied by spray or roller at a nominal 0.040 inch (40 mils) dry film thickness, it dries to a distinctive dark blue color. It is available in 5 gallon or 50 gallon containers.
Key Features:
- Triple function barrier: Functions as an air barrier, vapor barrier, and water-resistive barrier in exterior wall assemblies.
- Wide substrate range: Applies over concrete block, concrete, exterior gypsum sheathing, plywood, OSB, and many other common building materials.
- Crack bridging: High film thickness and flexible, elastic properties enable Barritech NP to bridge cracks and seal around penetrations.
- NFPA 285 suitability: Fire-retardant composition permits use in many wall assemblies requiring NFPA 285.
- 180-day UV resistance: Tough construction and 180-day UV resistance allow flexibility in the construction schedule.
- Easy visual ID: Dries to a distinctive dark blue color (light blue when wet) for easy identification.

Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Fluid-applied barriers like Barritech NP excel on complex walls with many penetrations and irregular substrates, since the membrane forms a monolithic film that bridges cracks without laps. Verify mil thickness with a wet-film gauge during application, and confirm substrate dryness and temperature before spraying. Use Carlisle CCW flashing membranes and liquid flashing for sill and head details to complete a continuous assembly.
Follow the product safety data sheet for spray application, including ventilation, respirator selection, and protection of adjacent surfaces from overspray.
Order Carlisle CCW Barritech NP for a continuous, monolithic air, vapor, and water barrier on your next wall assembly.
