Outsulation MD System® (DS443)
New Commercial EIF System Incorporating an Air and Water Barrier with Positive Moisture Drainage

Moisture Protection With EIFS

TAKING THE WORRY OUT OF THE WALL.

An Advanced Design Concept. Moisture Drainage For Even Better Wall Performance.

Introducing... Outsulation MD, Dryvit's newest addition to a family of high-performance exterior insulation and finish systems for commercial use.

Since 1969, architects and owners have looked to Dryvit for excellence in EIFS. For over 30 years, the barrier style, Class PB, Outsulation System has remained essentially as originally designed and has been installed on over 300,000 buildings worldwide. Today, there is increased demand for a wall system to be able to drain away incidental moisture. Dryvit responds to this demand with Outsulation MD—our commercial EIFS—with moisture drainage.

Moisture Drainage Technology
Outsulation MD provides three lines of defense against water. The first is Dryvit's time-tested combination of reinforced base coat and DPR finish. The second is our specially-designed, grooved EPS with drainage track and vent assembly. Underneath the EPS lies the substrate coated with Backstop^TM—an air and watertight membrane. A waterproof, rubberized tape is used to protect wall openings (such as windows). A compatible sealant must be utilized at all system terminations. Outsulation MD offers the most comprehensive, easy-to-install drainage system available for commercial use today.

Why Backstop?
The drainage channels present in Outsulation MD will evacuate water that, for a variety of reasons, may find its way around the system. This is known as "incidental" moisture. Backstop prevents this moisture from coming into contact with the sheathing as it drains. Classified in Canada as a Type III air barrier, it is a field-blended mixture of specially formulated elastomeric polymers and portland cement and has proven itself to be a watertight membrane. As such, Backstop is an essential element of the Outsulation MD System. Full details regarding the performance of Backstop are available upon request from Dryvit.

Warranty
Outsulation MD comes with a 10-year moisture drainage and 10-year limited materials warranty. Contact Dryvit Systems, Inc. for full details. Call 1-800-556-7752.
