Introducing V-Force FR Vapor Barrier
June 3, 2025
We’re excited to announce the launch of V-Force FR — a premium, impermeable, self-adhered vapor barrier designed to increase installation efficiency while meeting stringent fire requirements! Featuring an innovative acrylic adhesive and polypropylene facer, this vapor control membrane can achieve a FM Class 1 fire rating direct to steel without the need for a non-combustible separator. V-Force FR does not require primer* making it faster and easier to install compared to traditional V-Force.
What sets V-Force FR apart?
- The FM Class 1 rating for direct-to-steel applications (mechanically attached and Invisiweld only) eliminates the need for a non-combustible separation layer, such as gypsum, thereby reducing labor and costs on the job.
- Primer-free* installation using acrylic adhesive technology, providing outstanding adhesion while saving time and labor
- Wider width (5') reduces the number of seams by 25% compared to traditional V-Force
- Up to 180 days of temporary UV resistance and weather protection with polypropylene facer
- Expanded installation window down to 20°F (-7°C) and rising
*Primer-free applications on approved substrates. Some specific project conditions may require use of primer. Please reference the Technical Information Sheet (TIS) for more information and for conditions not covered in the TIS, please reach out to your Regional Technical Coordinator.
