DowDuPont's Unit Releases Solution To Prevent Moisture Damage
Zacks Investment Research | Dec 06, 2018 09:48PM ET
DowDuPont Inc. (NYSE:DWDP) Specialty Products Division’s business unit, DuPont Safety & Construction recently released the DuPont Tyvek DrainVent Rainscreen solution to provide advanced protection against moisture damage in exterior wall systems. The solution creates a 6mm space for water drainage and air movement for drying behind cladding, as well as helps to prevent long-term damage to walls.
The Tyvek DrainVent could be installed behind stone veneer, stucco, wood, brick, metal panel systems and fiber cement. It extends the life of exterior cladding by creating a gap that helps to prevent cracking as well as peeling problems. The new product replaces the intervening layer required with stucco and stone, while the attached heavy-duty filter fabric fends off infiltration of mortar and stucco.
Moreover, it is easy to install and helps in protection against poor installation as well as detailing errors. The heavy-duty filter fabric, which has a high perm rating, keeps mortar out and helps to create a flat surface that allows the cladding to lay flat. Its three-dimensional honeycomb-textured design and durability provides uniform nonstructural support for the various claddings.
