Trade Select VapourTech Wall is a Class 4 vapour permeable residential wall wrap, 1500 mm x 30 m covering 45 m² at 0.45 mm thick. Light Wall duty to AS/NZS 4200.1:2017.
Highly permeable, by design
Vapour permeance is 3.764 µg/N·s, which is high even for a Class 4 membrane. The wall can dry outward readily, while the wrap still works as a water barrier to AS/NZS 4201.4 and as an air barrier. In a residential wall that is usually what you want, because the moisture load comes from inside the house.
Non-reflective, so simpler to detail
Emittance is 0.58 and 0.56 on the two faces, category NN. It does not work by reflection, so there is no air gap to preserve and it can sit directly against the frame. It is also non-conductive, unlike a foil wrap.
Strength
Ball burst 215 N against a 200 minimum, edge tear 189 N machine direction against a 45 minimum, and 0.0% shrinkage against a 0.5% limit. Flammability classification Low.

A Class 4 wrap lets the wall cavity dry outwards, which matters most in the cooler and mixed climate zones where condensation risk sits inside the frame.

Fitting notes
Install to AS 4200.2, printed face out, with joints lapped so water runs over them. Being non-reflective it does not need an air gap behind it. Keep it out of contact with wet cement and mortar while the cladding goes on. Store rolls undercover in the pack until you need them.
Figures are taken from the Ametalin technical data sheet for VapourTech Wall, document APM-45763-1. The full manufacturer document is linked above. Ametalin can change specifications without notice, so check the current sheet before specifying on a job.
