IKO AcrylicStick SA | Primerless
Reinforced for Extra Durability
IKO AcrylicStick SA is HDPE material manufactured with an acrylic coating functioning as the bonding agent. The acrylic adhesive is pressure sensitive which yields high quality adhesion to various substrate types without the use of primers for cost and labour savings. An additional benefit is that the acrylic formulation can be used effectively in cold weather temperature applications.
Versatile
IKO AcrylicStick SA membranes can be applied to various common substrates (gypsum, OSB, concrete, CMU, plywood and Steel) for both wall and roof assembly applications (such as masonry cavity walls, metal cladding systems and a vapour retarder within a roofing system). The membrane may also be used in conjunction with insulated concrete form (ICF) wall construction.
Provides Extra Protection
IKO AcrylicStick SA provides an effective barrier to moisture, vapour transmission and air leakage when installed according to IKO specifications. The IKO AquaBarrier line includes full roll membranes as well as tapes for specialized detailing areas.

Permeable
IKO Ener-Air™ high performing polyisocyanurate rigid foam insulation sheathing system is an effective all-in-one product when joined together on a building exterior using IKO’s AquaBarrier™ VP Tapes. The exterior then becomes an air barrier, a vapour barrier and wall insulation.
AquaBarrier VP | SA
Versatile Application
Due to the vapour permeable matrix of AquaBarrier VP, it is readily compatible and may be applied to most common substrates such as gypsum, OSB, block, concrete, CMU and plywood. The product is designed for numerous applications such as masonry cavity walls, metal cladding systems, siding applications, renovations and retrofits, curtain walls and parapets.
Mold Resistant
AquaBarrier VP is a polypropylene composite with low water retention capacity and is therefore mold- and mildew-resistant.
Easy to Install
Coated with a proprietary acrylic adhesive on the back surface, the product offers excellent performance for common wall applications and has an easily removed polyester release film. No mechanical attachments or primer is required in the application of AquaBarrier VP. The lightweight design of the membrane makes it easy to install, and it can be left exposed to UV for up to 180 days1. For proper adhesion of the VP membrane to substrates, Pressure Rolling method must be used.
