What is Passive Purple Brush?

Passive Purple Brush is a fibre-reinforced, liquid-applied airtight membrane designed for detailed airtightness work. Applied with a simple paintbrush, it creates a permanent, seamless vapour-control layer that seals tricky gaps and penetrations where spraying or rolling is difficult.

Where is it used?

Passive Purple Brush is ideal for:

  • Service penetrations (pipes, cables, ducts)
  • Window and door frames
  • Floor-to-wall and wall-to-ceiling junctions
  • Cracks and gaps up to 5mm
  • Touch-ups after air testing or snagging

Why use the Brush version?

Unlike spray-applied Passive Purple, the Brush version contains fibres that span and seal larger cracks and irregularities. This makes it the go-to airtight paint for precision work, detailing, and repairs, while still delivering the same Passivhaus-certified airtightness as the main system.

Surface preparation

  • Ensure surfaces are solid, dust-free, and closed.
  • Large gaps (>5mm): Fill with cement-based filler or foam before application.
  • Small to medium gaps (2–5mm): Passive Purple Brush can be applied directly.

Application & coverage

  • Applied with a flat paintbrush.
  • Easy to use for small projects and detailed work.
  • Once cured, it can be painted, plastered, or rendered over.

Why airtightness matters

Air leakage through cracks and junctions:

  • Reduces energy efficiency
  • Allows draughts, damp, and mould
  • Can compromise Passivhaus and building regulations compliance

By sealing with Passive Purple Brush, you ensure every junction is airtight, securing energy performance and long-term building health.

Tested & Certified

Passive Purple Brush is covered by the same independent testing and ICC-ES evaluation (ESR-4715) as the Passive Purple system:

  • 🌿 French A+ indoor-air rating & Finnish M1 class — very low VOC emissions (EN 16516 / RTS)
  • 🏠 Passive House Institute Class A airtight — 0.02 m³/h·m² @ 50 Pa (EN 12114)
  • 🔒 Air barrier material — air leakage 0.02 L/s·m² at 75 Pa (ASTM E2178)
  • 🔥 Reaction to fire — Class A to ASTM E84 (Flame Spread 0, Smoke 35); Euroclass C-s1,d0 to EN 13501-1 (B-s1,d0 with FRED)
  • 💧 Watertight (EN 14891) & intelligent vapour control (EN ISO 12572)
  • 🧱 Strong adhesion across substrates (EN ISO 4624) & 10/10 mould resistance (ASTM D3273)
  • ✅ ICC-ES ESR-4715, Passivhaus certified & BBA approved
