Outsulation PlusTM System (DS445)
The High-Performance EIF System That Incorporates An Air and Moisture Protective Barrier

Summary

DRYVIT OFFERS A FAMILY OF PERFORMANCE-BASED SYSTEMS

For the first time in the evolution of EIFS technology, architects and owners can choose from a series of high performance systems to meet the specific demands of any given project. Dryvit's original Outsulation® System has been installed on over 350,000 buildings worldwide. Today, due to the increased demands for a wall system to be able to drain away incidental moisture, the Outsulation concept has grown into a family of related systems, each building upon the other to achieve specific performance goals.

Improved, More Efficient and Economical
The original Outsulation Plus System expands upon the proven weatherability and insulating qualities of Outsulation by adding a second line of defense against air, moisture and weather. This is accomplished with a coating of BackstopTM and by applying Dryvit's waterproof flashing tape at all system openings. Today, improved Outsulation Plus goes one step further through the strategic placement of adhesive channels to provide moisture drainage. These channels work in tandem with either of two system termination options, resulting in an improved, more efficient and economical system that is easy to install.

Why Backstop?
The adhesive channels present in Outsulation Plus will evacuate incidental moisture that may find its way behind the insulation board. Backstop prevents this moisture from coming into contact with the sheathing as it drains. Developed specifically for this purpose, it is a field-blended mixture of specially formulated elastomeric polymers and Portland cement and has proven itself to be a watertight membrane. Always used in conjunction with Dryvit grid and flashing tape, Backstop is an essential element of the Outsulation Plus System. Full details regarding the performance of Backstop are available upon request.
