Air Duct Sealants
Our UL-listed mastic sealants permanently seal HVAC duct leaks in residential and commercial systems. Formulated for flexibility and durability, these water-based solutions reduce energy waste by preventing air infiltration through joints, seams, and connections. Professional contractors use them for sheet metal, fiberglass, and flexible duct applications.
Weather Barrier Coating
Bright white #15 Weather Barrier Coating protects exposed ductwork and insulation from environmental damage. Its 80% solar reflectance reduces heat gain while maintaining flexibility in extreme temperatures. This LEED-qualified coating extends service life of HVAC components in outdoor installations and commercial rooftops.
Spray Adhesive
#52 Spray Adhesive creates strong bonds between fiberglass insulation and metal surfaces. VOC-compliant formulation works with galvanized and aluminum sheet metal while eliminating need for bulk application equipment. Contractors use it for faster installations with reduced cleanup requirements.
Fiberglass Mesh Reinforcement
Glasscoat woven fiberglass mesh reinforces sealant joints in duct construction. Pressure-sensitive adhesive backing ensures proper adhesion while maintaining structural integrity. This reinforcement improves durability of sealed connections in both residential and commercial HVAC systems.
HVAC System Sealing
Comprehensive duct sealing solutions reduce energy consumption by eliminating air leaks in heating and cooling systems. Products meet EPA Energy Star recommendations for improving indoor air quality while lowering utility costs and carbon emissions in both new construction and retrofit projects.
