Green Jacket™ is able to withstand gravel shootersGravel shooters used to place gravel around the foundation can be one of the most damaging to a drainage board. What value is an insulation-drain board to have it shredded in the process of backfill? Fiberglass ridged board breaks down as you can see on the photo above when subjected to a rock shooter in a matter of seconds, in contract to Green Jacket. The Green Jacket™ tough polyester fibers withstood the abrasion of a rock shooter with slight damage. Standard back fill cause damage to a fiberglass board as backfill soils, rocks, sticks, and clay are pushed into the hole against it. For a video tests of the photo above go to www.houseguard.com/protection-drainage-insulation and look for the gravel shooter video.
Green Jacket™ has 59.2% more water flow rate than Warm&Dri foundation board™ Greater drainage rates means more water is move to the footer drains when needed, reducing the impact of water pressure on the foundation wall, this reduces the possibly of leaks and structural damage (see drainage flow rate chart).
Green Jacket™ is ‘Green’ with 70% postindustrial recycled raw materials such as P.E.T. drink bottles, synthetic carpets can be 100% recycled. It contains no liquid resins or formaldehydes used in fiberglass products. It is chemical and allergy free.
Green Jacket™ Polyerster Synthetic Fibers are:• Stronger in tensile strength than fiberglass
• Resistant to most chemicals
• Flexible-elastic (bends around corners)
• Abrasion Resistant
• NO loose fibers make it safer to install
• Not itchy to install
• UV resistant-allows foundation to stay open
• Non-organic – does not support mold or mildew

What happens when a polyester fiber board embeds and interlocks into a strong waterproofing membrane on a foundation wall?
You get a waterproofing membrane that is 676% stronger than before!When a tough polymer membrane and strong polyester fiber mat combine together, it produces a much better performance than each separately can do alone, this is SYNERGY. TruDryXG™ and Green Jacket™ were tested by 3rd party lab for tensile strength using ASTM D-412 method. Tensile strength of TruDryXG™ was 50.6 psi and TruDryXG™ impregnated into GJ fibers was 338.5psi. What we learned, is the Green Jacekt™ fibers improved the strength of the TruDryXG™ waterproofing membrane by 676%. This changes everything!
