  • Long-term durability and high strength
  • Weathertight & airtight weather-resistive barrier (WRB)
  • Helps protect a building from condensation
  • Fire Retardant (FI <5 as per AS/NZS1530.2)
  • Can be installed on Walls and Roofs
  • Can be installed vertically down to 3 degrees when supported by corrosion resistant material

Areas of application

SOLITEX MENTO®3000 provides superior weather and condensation protection for your roof under all weather conditions . With type R4 classification (NZS 2295). it is suitable to be used in self-supported applications up to and including extra high wind zones. SOLITEX MENTO® protects your roof and building envelope from the elements during construction while allowing any internal moisture to escape through the vapour permeable, non-porous TEEE layer.
