Carlisle CCW-705 FR-A XLT Self-Adhered Air & Vapor Barrier, 40 mil Rubberized-Asphalt with Fire-Resistant Foil/HDPE Facer, Multiple Roll Sizes
Carlisle CCW-705 FR-A XLT is a 40-mil self-adhered sheet air and vapor barrier made of rubberized-asphalt adhesive laminated to a fire-resistant aluminum foil/HDPE composite facer. Rolls come in widths from 4 inches to 36 inches, in 75 or 100 foot lengths. The extra high tack adhesive installs in cold weather between 15°F and 60°F.
Key Features:
- Self-adhered sheet: Self-adhering membrane requires no spray equipment or mil-thickness measurements, providing easy, reliable installation.
- Cold weather tack: Extra high tack adhesive enables easy installation at ambient and substrate temperatures between 15°F and 60°F.
- NFPA 285 suitability: Fire-resistant composition permits use in many NFPA 285 wall assemblies.
- 180-day UV exposure: Toughness and 180-day UV resistance allow long exposure time and flexibility in schedule.
- Instant rain resistance: Factory-controlled composition provides uniform coverage and instant rain resistance after installation.
- Heat-reflective facer: The aluminum foil/HDPE facer provides heat reflectivity and fire resistance, and is tough and dimensionally stable.
- Flexible sizing: Rolls of various widths, including narrow strips useful for above-grade wall flashing applications.

Coverage & How Much You Need:
A 36" x 75' roll covers 225 sq ft at full width before laps and waste; 100-foot rolls in 4", 6", 9", and 12" widths cover 33, 50, 75, and 100 linear feet respectively. Size the job by wall square footage and add lap allowances per the manufacturer's installation instructions.
Fit and Compatibility:
Adheres firmly to clean, above-grade wall substrates when pressed in place, and cut sizes serve as above-grade wall flashing. Pairs with Carlisle CCW liquid-applied or fluid-applied barrier products (such as Barritech NP) for compatible air barrier assemblies; primers and termination accessories are sold separately.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
Q: What roll sizes are available?

A: The extra high tack adhesive is formulated for installation between 15°F and 60°F, ambient and substrate.
Q: Is spray equipment needed?
A: No, it is a self-adhering membrane with release paper that is removed as the membrane is pressed in place; no spray equipment or mil-thickness measurements are required.
Q: What is the barrier thickness?
A: The membrane is 40 mil (0.040 inch) thick.
Q: Can it be used for flashing?
A: Yes, cut sizes of the membrane are useful for other above-grade wall flashing applications.
Q: How long can it be left exposed?
A: It has 180-day UV resistance, allowing long exposure time before covering.
Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Choose 705FR-A XLT when cold weather or an NFPA 285 assembly rules out standard self-adhered barriers: the high tack adhesive and fire-resistant facer are specifically built for those conditions. Roll widths 4" through 12" are ideal for sill, jamb, head, and punch-around flashing, while the 36" roll is the main-field option. Roll it firmly with a roller to eliminate voids, and overlap laps per manufacturer instructions to keep the barrier continuous.
Cutting the membrane and release paper requires a sharp utility knife; cut on a stable surface and keep hands clear of the blade path.
