Drago Wrap Vapor Intrusion Barrier
Drago Wrap by Stego Industries, is a cost-effective 3-in-1 product solution providing unsurpassed protection from chlorinated solvents, hydrocarbons, and moisture vapor.
or Give us a Call
Product Summary
Drago Wrap is specifically engineered to serve as a barrier to volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Through patented and trade secret processes, Drago Wrap combines engineered barrier materials with the flexibility and strength of a high-performance polyolefin film into an easy-to-install barrier against hydrocarbons and chlorinated solvents.
Construction and Materials
The Stego® industries Vapor Retarder systems are designed to provide a robust and effective barrier against moisture intrusion into building envelopes. These systems are a critical component of weatherization and flashing, specifically engineered to control vapor diffusion.
System Components and Materials:
- StegoWrap® Vapor Retarder Film: This primary component is a multi-layered, co-extruded polyolefin film. It is specifically formulated to offer exceptional resistance to vapor permeance. The co-extrusion process ensures a uniform and consistent composition throughout the film's thickness, contributing to its durability and performance.
- StegoTack® Tape: A high-tack, low-permeability acrylic adhesive tape. This tape is crucial for sealing seams, penetrations, and other potential air and vapor leak points within the system. Its specialized adhesive formulation is designed to bond securely to the StegoWrap film and other common building materials, maintaining the integrity of the vapor barrier.
- Stego Crete® Sealant: A low-VOC, low-odor, non-hardening butyl sealant. This product is used for sealing the perimeter of the vapor retarder where it meets concrete slabs or foundations. It provides a flexible and durable seal that accommodates movement within the building structure while preventing vapor migration.
- Stego Grip® Accessories: This category includes various accessories designed to facilitate the installation and sealing of the vapor retarder system. These may include clips, sealants for specific applications, and other proprietary fastening or sealing elements that work in conjunction with the primary film and tape.
Construction and Installation Principles:
The Stego industries Vapor Retarder systems are constructed by creating a continuous, uncompromised barrier around the conditioned space of a building. The core principle is to prevent moist air from migrating through the building envelope and condensing within wall cavities or other interstitial spaces, which can lead to issues such as mold, rot, and reduced insulation effectiveness.
- Continuous Barrier: The system emphasizes the creation of a continuous vapor barrier. This means that all seams of the StegoWrap film must be overlapped and sealed using StegoTack tape.
- Sealing Penetrations: All penetrations through the vapor barrier, such as electrical boxes, plumbing pipes, and HVAC ducts, must be meticulously sealed using StegoTack tape or other approved sealing methods.
- Perimeter Sealing: The interface between the vapor retarder and the foundation (e.g., concrete slab) is a critical area for vapor intrusion. Stego Crete sealant is used to create a robust seal in this zone, often applied at the joint between the foundation wall and the slab.
- Secure Attachment: The StegoWrap film is typically attached to framing members using staples or other mechanical fasteners, with the understanding that these fasteners will be covered by the overlapped and taped seams to maintain the integrity of the barrier.
- Compatibility: The materials within the Stego industries system are engineered to be compatible with each other, ensuring that the sealants and tapes adhere effectively to the polyolefin film.
The overall construction of the system relies on the inherent low permeance of the StegoWrap film and the superior sealing capabilities of the accompanying accessories to form a high-performance vapor retarder.
