product is engineered to answer the need for a mechanically-attached flashing material that offers a unique balance betweenextraordinary durability and cost-effectiveness. Moistop PFresists extreme jobsite abuse – such as heavy wind and rain –while effectively containing costs and protecting structures.

Extreme weather conditions on the jobsite call for a flashing product that canwithstand a higher level of abuse, including high winds and heavy rains. Theseextreme conditions also require greater protection against water intrusion andmoisture – as well as the problems they cause, including mold and mildew. That

is why the Fortifiber Building SystemsGroup® has developed Moistop neXT.

Moistop neXT is an ultra-high performance,mechanically attached flashing solutiondeveloped with and for builders who need aproduct that can withstand these extremeweather conditions. Built upon the legacy ofMoistop® Flashing, the industry’s mostpopular flashing product, Moistop neXT’s

robust construction provides a heavy duty barrier against rain-driven waterintrusion – both on the jobsite and in the finished construction.

Stays Put in Extreme Weather ConditionsMoistop neXT Flashing installed with Moistop® Sealant has been third-partytested against the stringent ASTM E-331 test method, and its performancewithstood 100 mile-per-hour wind-driven rain conditions without leaking.Comprised of two layers of high performance polyolefin film, laminated togetherwith a remarkably durable core of fiberglass scrim reinforcement, Moistop neXTmaintains its shape in heavy winds – resisting the shear forces that cause rips andtears. Far stronger than any self-adhesive flashing product, you can pull staplescleanly from wood without tearing the material. It can be used on all types ofwindows including wood, vinyl and aluminum casings and doors. It is the nextlogical step in the evolution of moisture control flashing systems.

Part of a Complete Moisture Control SolutionMoistop neXT integrates with Fortifiber’s complete system of flashing products andaccessories, Moistop Sealant and our entire line of weather-resistive barriers to forma comprehensive weatherization system that protects homes and buildings frommoisture intrusion problems. Designed through the use of building science andperfected in the field, this is the only complete moisture control system available inthe industry from a single source. Comprised of compatible materials, the systemtakes the guesswork out of selecting flashing, sealing materials, and weather-resistivebarriers that work together and deliver performance you can count on.

One Tube: Multiple UsesThe primary cause of water intrusion is the lack of properlyintegrated flashing around windows, doors and otherfenestrations. The cost of these repairs and potential exposureto litigation can be staggering, particularly when waterleakage leads to problems with mold and mildew. MoistopSealant and Liquid Flashing can be used as both a sealant andflashing, providing a multi-tasking solution for improved

weatherizationeffectiveness and jobsiteefficiency.

Completely CompatibleMoisture Resistant SealantMoistop Sealant and Liquid Flashing is anadvanced polymer designed to be compatible withvirtually all building materials. Moistop deliversexcellent adhesion, compatibility, durability andmoisture resistance to prevent door and windowwater leaks, and the expensive callbacks they

cause. It is also suitable for use in construction joints up to one half inch in width.Moistop exceeds ASTM C920 and AAMA 808.3-92 (Exterior Perimeter SealingCompounds) standards.

Durable Liquid Applied FlashingUsed as a liquid flashing system, Moistop Sealant and Liquid Flashing provides gap-free protection to rough and irregular surfaces. It is particularly useful when applyingflashing to curved intrusions like vents and plumbing, and is highly effective withmasonry window and door installations. Where specified as a liquid applied flashing,the product exceeds AAMA 714 standards. And even though Moistop is toughenough to repair torn vapor barriers, it is smooth enough to take paint in visibleapplication areas.

Part of a Complete Moisture Control SolutionImprove jobsite efficiency and reduce waste by specifying and using a single productwith multiple moisture protection uses.

Moistop Sealant and Liquid Flashing is part of the Fortifiber® Protection System andis highly effective when paired with Jumbo Tex® building paper, WeatherSmart®

housewraps, and all Fortifiber flashings. Together they form a comprehensiveweatherization system that protects homes and buildings against moisture intrusionproblems. Designed through the use of building science and perfected in the field,this is the only complete moisture control system available in the industry from asingle source. When this complete system is installed properly, builders are eligiblefor 15 year warranty protection that covers both materials AND labor.

The Fortifiber Building Systems Group® is proud to offer thisMade-In-USA product. With more than a seventy-five yearhistory of proven performance, technical expertise and practicalknow-how, the company has become a trusted partner to builders,architects and code officials.
