Disclosed is a liquid formulation and system for forming an air and moisture barrier for application to the sheathing behind exterior cladding of a structure. The air and moisture barrier includes a cementitious bond breaker for use in conjunction with a cementitious siding. The applied-liquid barrier forms a continuous-seamless structural barrier to both air and moisture while having vapor permeance.
