Fibre-Reinforced Brush-On Sealant with a Humidity-Variable sd Value, Blue (wet)/Black (dry)
Advantages
- Excellent adhesive to most construction surfaces
- Covers cracks and joints of up to 20mm width
- Larger joints can be covered in combination with AEROSANA FLEECE
- Can be used flexibly in all interior applications
Areas of application
AEROSANA® VISCONN FIBRE is a brush-on, elastic and humidity-variable vapour control layer. VISCONN FIBRE creates an airtightness layer for sealing porous surfaces, penetrations and joints. Use as a bonding course between sub-surfaces and subsequent coatings on internal building construction. Thanks to the fibre reinforcement, joints and cracks of up to 20mm can be covered. Use AEROSANA® fleece for larger joints.

General conditions
Gaps of up to a maximum of 8 mm in width can be simply painted over.
For gaps of 8 - 20 mm in width, apply AEROSANA VISCONN FIBRE deep into the base of the gap. Apply sealant to a depth of at least half the width of the gap.
In the case of larger joints or gaps use AEROSANA FLEECE or an adhesive tape (e.g. TESCON VANA or TESCON EXTORA).
AEROSANA VISCONN FIBRE changes colour from blue to black when it dries.
The wet film must be protected against contact with liquid water until it has fully dried.
Protective equipment
Spray in well-ventilated locations Wear personal protective equipment consisting of a mask, protective glasses and gloves.
Application with a brush
All AEROSANA VISCONN products can be applied using a brush. To ensure efficient working, the width of the brush should be ≥ 50 mm. Check the minimum layer thickness of 500 μm using a measuring gauge.
Storage
Do not dilute the material too much (risk of excessive flow and poor coverage of cracks). Closing the container in an airtight manner and covering it with a thin sheet of polyethylene will prevent drying out.
Substrate
Before application, check whether the subsurface is suitable for a liquid film. It may be necessary to apply a number of coats in the case of uneven or shaped subsurfaces. Gaps porous surfaces or significant unevenness may need to be closed using AEROSANA FLEECE, taped over before application or levelled off with filler.
Subsurfaces should be clean dry and dust-free. Application temperature should be above +5 °C subsurface and air temperature. There must be no water-repellent substances (e.g. grease or silicone) on the materials to be coated. Application to moist, but not wet subsurfaces is possible.
The liquid film adheres to all standard construction materials, e.g. mineral subsurfaces such as concrete and masonry (e.g. sand-lime bricks, other bricks, aerated concrete, pumice). Refer to Compatability matrix in SOLITEX EXTASANA ADHERO application guide.
AEROSANA® VISCONN FIBRE can be applied to all pro clima membranes, membranes made of PE, PA, PP, aluminium, painted/natural wood, wood-based panels (chipboard, OSB, plywood, MDF and wood fibre underlay panels), non-rusting metal subsurfaces and hard plastics (e.g. uPVC pipes, windows).
Transitions such as floor-wall joints must be coated with the required minimum layer thickness (500 μm wet application).
Construction joints and transitions of greater than 20mm gaps can be treated using AEROSANA FLEECE for reinforcement.
If pro clima INTELLO layers are to be air sealed, these should be fixed in place using a suitable adhesive tape (e.g. TESCON VANA or TESCON EXTORA). The transition must be free of tension.
Protect adjacent materials/surfaces
Materials/surfaces such as wood, glass, ceramics, clinker bricks, natural stone, paint/varnish and metal should be protected; Wash away any splashes immediately with water. Clean tools with water immediately after use.
