The DuPont Tyvek exceed in performance to other sheets of waterproof and breathable alternatives, according to a study

A waterproof and breathable sheet for construction must meet not only the required functions when installed, but also in the long term, even after their exposure to adverse conditions. A comprehensive testing programme of ageing commissioned by dupont building innovations to the SP Technical Research Institute of Sweden (chemistry and technology of materials - polymer technology Division) has demonstrated "significantly higher reliability" DuPont Tyvek in a crucial aspect of its protective function.

According to the company said in a statement, the results show that, even after a major exhibition both direct rays UV-A radiation and heat capacity of tightness of the different types of sheets breathable DuPont Tyvek considerably exceed the great variety of plates available on the market covered and facades breathable multilayer.

The results of these tests of ageing show clearly that the incorporation of DuPont Tyvek breathable indoor will maintain its role of watertight protection more efficiently and much longer than other multilayer sheets. Through the protection of the integrity of the structure of the building of the harmful effects of water intrusion, optimization of energy efficiency and healthy indoor comfort to help keep dry insulation, DuPont Tyvek offers a proven and significant guarantee of tranquility in the long term both builders and homeowners.
