Achieveoptimal air tightnessand long-term performance

DuPont™ AirGuard® VCL will keep your insulation andwall structure dry and can help to reduce energyconsumption.

It is important to make your building envelope airtight andwind tight by sealing gaps between and around insulationlayers, AVCL’s and breather membranes.

DuPont accessories enhance DuPont™ Tyvek® buildingenvelope solutions. The adhesive tapes are speciallydesigned for use with DuPont membranes to help reduceuncontrolled air leakage.

Why is air tightness so important?

Energy efficient and sustainable building methods we areBecoming more aware of the shortcomings of uncontrolledair leakage.

The EU to reduce carbon emissions through EuropeanEnergy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD).

Requirements on energy performance of buildingsincreased.

Choosing the right air and vapour controllayer (AVCL) will help create a thermally efficient,condensation-free structure

Your home deserveslifetime protection•An underlay provides a vital•secondary water shedding function

•Roofing and wall underlays are an important element of high•quality pitched roof and cladding constructions. Although•these windproof and waterproof membranes only make up•an extremely small part of the total thickness of wall and roof•structures, their functions in terms of building physics are•absolutely vital and need to be preserved for the lifetime of the•element they are part of.

•What are the risks when your underlay fails?

• An underlay has to facilitate absolute water tightness of the roof and wall

• An underlay has to protect the insulation thus promoting energy efficiency

• A breather membrane is an important element in maintaining a healthy indoor climate over many years

Building structure degradation:mould and mildew.

Indoor water damages

Insulation inefficiency

Don’t risk your roofwith anything that won’t stand the test of time

Whether underlays are supplied as single layer or multi-layer, it is the quality and the thickness of the functional layer which takes care of wind proofing, waterproofing and vapour breathability. Its quality and thickness are key to the durability and effectiveness of the membrane as a whole.

However resistant to tearing or elongation during installation a product may be, it can take only a few weeks for the key functionality of water tightness to be degraded. The main factors impairing the effectiveness of underlays are temperature and UV radiation.

Standard multi-layer Membrane:30 microns (internally measured)

Tyvek ® Solid: 220 microns(internally measured)

•A comprehensive ageing testing programme has been Commissioned by DuPont Building Innovations to “SP Technical Research Institute of Sweden (Chemistry and Materials Technology – Polymer technology division)

•Not all underlays are what they seem to be

•All Tyvek® membranes clearly outperformed tested multi-layer alternatives in terms of water tightness after a very long term exposure period to ultra violet radiation. Tyvek® underlays resist more than 16 weeks of UV exposure (accelerated artificial ageing), a meaningful sign of durability.

•Tyvek® underlays continue to demonstrate superior resistance and•keep their pole position in terms of superior durability. By reaching•more than 45 weeks of heat exposure at 90°C, without failing

(double the achievement of some multi-layer products tested) Tyvek® demonstrated long life efficiency.

What makes DuPont™ Tyvek® so special?

1. Tyvek® offers a unique thickness and quality of the functional layerDuPont™ Tyvek® offers a functional layer which is ca. 6 to 8 times thicker than most common multi-layer products. Most common multi-layer underlays are composed of a very thin functional layer (ca. 3 times thinner than a human hair) laminated between external protective layers.

2. Tyvek® has a unique structure Tyvek® is composed of millions of microfibers that create a “maze” which guarantees a proper and homogeneous spread of UV and heat additives to offer superior durability throughout the product thickness.

3. Tyvek® has a proven resistance to UV and to heatMost multi-layer underlays are made of PP (polypropylene) which is naturally more sensitive to UV than PE (polyethylene). The Tyvek® functional layer is made of 100% high UV and heat stabilized PE.

4. Tyvek® membranes resist temperatures of up to 100°CAt times, temperatures above the insulation may exceed 80°C. Temperature highly degrades the functionality of underlays.

5. Made by DuPont – a guarantee of qualityThe success of Tyvek® results from a unique manufacturing process using flash-spunbond technology – and over 20 years of experience in the underlay market from a company renowned for pioneering innovation and a commitment to quality and ethical practice.

Unique manufacturing processby DuPont

•DuPont™ Tyvek® breather membranes offer protection during construction and provide superior long-term performance. All the key requirements for a high performance breather membrane are built right into the very nature of Tyvek®. Unique because of its high-quality polyethylene single functional layer, Tyvek® is naturally vapour-open but watertight. This is due to its composition of millions of micro fibres that are bonded together to make a “maze” that’s impermeable to water and yet allows water vapour to pass through the natural pores in its structure. Robust, resistant to UV damage and general wear and tear, Tyvek® offers peace of mind with reliable protection.
