DescriptionThe DensElement™ Barrier System consists of (a) DensElement Sheathing made with a treated, water-resistant core, surfaced with fiberglass mats and a GOLD colored coating, and (b) an approved third party fluid applied flashing. DensElement Barrier System serves as a water resistant barrier and air barrier when the sheathing joints, fasteners, penetrations, openings and transitions are properly sealed with an approved third party fluid applied flashing.

DensElement Sheathing is mold resistant, and has scored a 10, the highest level of performance for mold resistance under ASTM D3273 test method.

DensElement Sheathing exhibits dimensional stability providing for a flat and rigid substrate that is noncombustible as defined and tested in accordance with ASTM E136 or CAN/ULC S114. DensElement Sheathing is generally the same strength in both directions, and it may be installed either parallel or perpendicular to wall framing members (always follow specific wall assembly installation instruc-tions as described in the DensElement Barrier System Technical Brochure).

Primary UsesThe DensElement Barrier System is specified to be used as the exterior wall sheathing, the water resistive barrier, and the air barrier as required by building code when the panel joints, fasteners, penetrations, openings and transitions are properly sealed by an approved third party fluid applied flashing per the manufacturer’s recommendations. The DensElement Barrier System can be used under a wide range of adhered, attached and rainscreen cladding systems. These include EIFS, cavity brick and claddings such as wood, vinyl, composite sidings and rainscreen claddings such as insulated metal panels.

The DensElement Barrier System eliminates the need for attached flexible membranes, fluid applied membranes or self-adhered membranes over the field of the sheathing that have typically served as the water resistive barrier and air barrier for building code compliance.

The DensElement Barrier System Sheathing is attached directly to wood or steel framing with recommended fasteners.

LimitationsThe DensElement Barrier System is not intended for immersion in water or below grade use. Cascading roof/floor water should be directed away from the exterior of the building.

Avoid conditions that will create condensation on the backside or face of DensElement Sheathing. The use of temporary forced air heaters inside an unfinished building may create volumes of water vapor which, when improperly ventilated, can condense on building materials. The use of such heaters and any resulting damage is not the responsibility of Georgia-Pacific Gypsum.

Fasteners used to attach DensElement Sheathing to framing should be flush to the panel, not countersunk.

When the DensElement Barrier System is used in slanted wall applications, do not allow water to pond or settle on it.

Georgia-Pacific Gypsum does not warrant the cladding or exterior finish system attached or adhered to the DensElement Barrier System.

Do not laminate masonry products directly to the sheathing surface of the DensElement Barrier System.

Do not use the DensElement Barrier System in roof board applications. For roof board applications, consult the DensDeck® Roof Board Technical Guide.

The DensElement Barrier System is not intended for interior or exterior ceramic tile applications. For interior tile applications in shower and bath wet areas, consult the DensShield® Tile Backer Technical Guide.

DensElement Sheathing should not be used in lieu of structural wood panels where required or used as a nailing base for mechanical fastening of cladding or other attachments.

Design details for joints, fasteners, openings, penetrations and transitions shall be installed per DensElement Barrier Systems installation instructions.

Technical DataThe DensElement Barrier System is a gypsum sheathing, water resistive barrier, and air barrier system when the joints, fasteners, penetrations, openings, and transitions are properly sealed with an approved third party fluid-applied flashing.

5/8! (15.9mm) DensElement Sheathing gypsum panel is UL designation Type DGG.

PROSOCO® R-Guard® FastFlash® www.prosoco.com/Content/Documents/Product/RG_FastFlash_PDS_120911_C.pdf

FastFlash®

PROSOCO R-Guard® FastFlash® is a waterproofing, adhesive and detailing compound for air barrier applications that combines the best characteristics of silicone and polyurethane. This single-component, Silyl-Terminated-Polymer (STP) is easy to gun, spread-and-tool, or roller apply to produce a highly durable, seamless, elastomeric flashing membrane. Allows for same day installation of windows, doors and other wall assembly, waterproofing or air barrier components.Suitable for all climates, FastFlash® bonds directly to damp or dry surfaces and cures under a variety of weather conditions. It dramatically reduces surface preparation time by eliminating the need for reinforcing tapes at sheathing joints, inside and outside corners. It simplifies the process of producing watertight details in new or existing construction. Use FastFlash® as part of a continuous, building-wide air barrier system, or to complement conventional waterproofing or air barrier components. Use FastFlash® to adhere, transition and counter-flash R-Guard SS ThruWall or other through-wall sheet flashing.

ADVANTAGES• Available in gun-grade or roller-grade versions.• Streamlines preparation by eliminating the need

for joint reinforcing tapes.• Silane functional polymer provides superior long

term adhesion, crack bridging and weathering characteristics.

• Produces an opaque membrane when installed at the recommended 12–15 wet mils to simplify inspection and quality control.

• Bonds to most common building materials without priming.

• Single component saves time.• Produces a durable, weather-tight seal. Bonds and

cures in wet weather, on damp substrates.• Will not tear or lose effectiveness when exposed to

weather during construction.

• May be fully exposed to UV and weather for up to 12 months. If longer, contact for inspection.

• Compatible with most sealants and waterproofing or air barrier components.

• Solvent free. Isocyanate free. Phthalate free.• No shrinkage. No staining. No yellowing.• Breathable – allows damp surface to dry. • Will not support mold growth.• Service temperatures: –75 to +300°F (–59 to +149°C).• Illustration depicting the use of PROSOCO

R-Guard® products are available at www.prosoco.com by downloading the R-Guard Installation Guidelines.

Limitations• Not for use as a structural sealant. • Not for use in place of appropriate through-wall

Refer to the R-Guard FastFlash® Product Test Results document for a complete list of performance test results.

PREPARATIONTo ensure best results, apply to clean surfaces free of contaminants. Chemical residues, surface coatings or films may adversely affect adhesion. Pressure-treated wood and other contaminated surfaces should be cleaned with denatured alcohol or a similar solvent wipe before application.Protect people, vehicles, property, plants and all other surfaces not intended to receive FastFlash®.Remove and replace damaged sheathing. In rough openings, prime all raw gypsum board edges with R-Guard PorousPrep.Any gaps or joints greater than 1 inch should be structurally repaired or readied for an appropriate transition membrane. Ensure positive drainage at all rough openings.

Surface & Air TemperaturesSurface and ambient temperatures should be 40°F (4°C) and rising and below 110°F (43°C) during application and drying. Wind and high temperatures will accelerate drying.Hot Weather Precautions: If air or surface temperatures exceed 95°F (35°C), apply to shaded surfaces and before daytime air and surface temperatures reach their peak. Hot surfaces may be cooled with a mist of fresh water. Keep containers closed and out of direct sunlight when not in use. Cold Weather Conditions: May be applied to frost-free substrates at temperatures below 32°F (0°C). Product will not start curing and drying until temperature rises to and remains above 32°F (0°C). Low Humidity Conditions: Curing may take longer than 12 hours. Lightly misting treated surfaces with fresh water will accelerate curing. Uncured material may delay construction. Though FastFlash® may be applied to damp surfaces and tolerates rain immediately after application, do not apply to surfaces with standing water or frost. Contact PROSOCO if conditions are questionable.

EquipmentReference the gun-grade or roller-grade Application Instructions for specific recommendations of appropriate equipment.

Storage & HandlingStore in a cool, dry place. Keep container tightly closed when not dispensing. Do not open container until preparation work has been completed. Do not alter or mix with other chemicals. When stored at or below 80°F (27°C) R-Guard FastFlash® has a shelf life of 12 months after the date of manufacture. This shelf life assumes upright storage of factory-sealed containers. Do not double stack pallets. Dispose of unused product and container in accordance with local, state and federal regulations.

HCI™ SYSTEM RAINSCREEN ATTACHMENT: Horizontal Continuous Insulation Should Be Simple to Design + Easy to Install

Knight's award-winning HCI™ System provides outstanding thermal perfor-mance by way of true ci (continuous insulation). As a compliment to the original CI™ System, the HCI System enables vertical cladding (and secondary rails) to be installed directly to the HCI-Girt™. This offers easy installation, broad design flexibility, and cost savings, all while still easily meeting North American energy code requirements.

The HCI System uses unique ¾” deep horizontal girts- called HCI-Girts –designed to properly disburse the façade loads over exterior rigid board insulation - with only unique thermally isolated fasteners penetrating the thermal barrier thus minimizing thermal bridging. For basic, cost-effective vertical claddings, only a single layer of HCI-Girts may be needed. For more complex cladding designs or types, choose from a wide variety of Knight Wall secondary rails for those panels requiring specific attachment points.

HCI Systems components are produced in standard and custom lengths, in either 16 or 18 gauge Zn-Al-Mg coated steel (standard silver or black PVDF coated) and also available in stainless steel.

The HCI System attachment completes the rainscreen envelope design, whether choosing metal panels, Aluminum Composite Material (ACM) panels, fiber cement, GFRC, or many more. And choose any brand of insulation that meets minimum compressive strength and code requirements, simplifying design specifications.
