DuPont™ Test ArmorWall™ Plus
5-in-1 Composite Panel for DuPont™ ArmorWall™ System (1-Hour Fire-Rated)
DuPont™ Test ArmorWall™ Plus
5-in-1 Composite Panel for DuPont™ ArmorWall™ System (1-Hour Fire-Rated)
<br><b>DuPont™ ArmorWall™ Plus </b> is an ICC listed (ESL-1302, ESL-1306, ESL-1442, ESL-1536, and ESL-1543), high strength, fire-resistant exterior wall sheathing product. <b>ArmorWall™ Plus FR SIS</b> offers a factory-applied, high quality air and water-resistive barrier. Once seams and fasteners have been sealed the enclosure may be considered “dried-in”, allowing interior construction to commence regardless of final exterior finish status.<br><br>ArmorWall™ Plus FR SIS incorporates five traditional building enclosure elements into a single panel product: structural sheathing, fire-resistance, air barrier, water-resistive barrier, and a high-performance continuous insulation layer. The <b>five-in-one</b> system of <b>ArmorWall™ Plus FR SIS</b> can replace several traditional individual components, making it a cost-saving and labor-reducing option compared to traditional, individual components.
