DuPont Performance Building Solutions announces DuPont Tyvek Roof Protector
DuPont, a global science and innovation leader in the construction industry, announces the launch of DuPont™ Tyvek® Roof Protector™, a new product under the Tyvek® brand that provides a cooler grey colour surface for builders and roofing contractors to work on.
In addition to a colour change, the new product features good walkability for safe working conditions, with a wrinkle-free and slip-resistant surface that allows for better traction and grip for contractors.
DuPont™ Tyvek® Roof Protector™ very effectively holds chalk lines with increased visibility, which provides speed and accuracy during installation of the final roofing assembly. It is designed to protect roof decks from wind and water with a durable weather barrier. Unlike other value synthetics, DuPont™ Tyvek® Roof Protector™ is much less prone to wind pull-up and tearing at fastener points during installation and is designed to lay flat. The product provides the ideal combination of protection and performance to get every job done quickly, effectively, and safely.
“Continuous innovation and improvement is at the core of our company,” says Ryan Gerulski, North America market manager, DuPont Performance Building Solutions. “The upgrades to our DuPont™ Tyvek® Roof Protector™ product line is just another example of our team taking customer feedback, market needs, and making improvements to ensure we have the best products for our customers.”
This engineered synthetic roofing underlayment has a high strength to weight ratio and is UV resistant for up to three months. Its strong tear resistant features provide long-lasting and high-performing moisture protection for an array of roof designs. The product is ideal for steep slope roofing applications under asphalt shingles or metal cladding, with printed guidelines for quick shingle alignment.
