Automated Airtightness in the Ducts and the Building envelope

Efficiency Matrix and its eCaulkair product are a safe, non-toxic automated application of sealant for rigid ducts or plenums used globally in commercial & domestic air tightness applications. The key ingredient of the sealant is similar to the stuff you find in chewing gum and hair spray.

Efficiency Matrix doing an eCAULKair sealing up of ductwork Tested and approved for use in

• Operation theatres (Hospitals)

• Clean room applications

• Residential developments

• Schools & Education facilities

• Libraries

• Occupied office buildings

• Restaurants

It is completely inert and has no residual odour.

It contains an approved and certified anti-microbial agent to prevent mould growth.

In public or occupied buildings eCAULKair use heavy duty extraction fans connected to flexible plastic ducts which are exhausted outside the building. The eCAULKair scent is very faint. After approximately 15 minutes the mild PVA wood glue smell disappears.

eCAULKair has been tested and certified for public use in both residential and commercial applications. Rigorous tests and compliance of eCAULKair were required for it to be able to be used in hospitals in Australia

The establishment’s duct system is isolated and eCAULKair is blown in as a non-noxious vapor which seals air leaks in rigid duct systems. It leaves no residue nor any persistent odour. It is safe to use in all applications including medical, clean room laboratories and residential developments.

The eCAULKair Sealant

The sealant is UL-listed for smoke generation and flame spread (UL 723 0,0) and has been tested in accordance with AS1530.3.  It complies with all the requirements in NCC in regard to Ignitability, Spread of Flame, Heat Evolved, and Smoke Developed. Independent test (SCAQMD Method 304-91) shows VOC content is within the GreenStar limits. In addition, testing by UL showed no signs of mould growth or erosion.

HOW eCAULKair WORKS

  1. Duct vent coverage: Ensuring air escape only through leaks.
  2. Sealant introduction: Technician introduces the eCAULKair polymer sealant.
  3. Aerosol suspension: Continuous airflow keeps small particles suspended.
  4. Particles collide and adhere to leak edges: Air streams make sharp turns to exit
  5. Duct sealing utilising escaping air
  6. Computer-generated analysis: Summary of the building’s air leakage, verifying procedure success.
  7. Post-procedure:
    • Removal of the eCAULKair machine and blanking panels from the duct system.
    • Dissipation of any mild PVA wood glue odour within approximately 15-30 minutes.
