DuPont™ Tyvek® CommercialWrap®
High Performance Water-Resistive and Air Barrier (WRB) and Engineered to Stand Up to the Commercial Job Site
DuPont™ Tyvek® CommercialWrap®
High Performance Water-Resistive and Air Barrier (WRB) and Engineered to Stand Up to the Commercial Job Site
<br>Engineered to provide excellent performance as an air and water barrier, <b>DuPont™ Tyvek® CommercialWrap®</b> delivers the added strength and durability needed in commercial construction. It provides an ideal balance of air and moisture management resulting in more durable and energy efficient structures.
<br><br>
<b>Tyvek® CommercialWrap®</b> is made from 100% flash spunbonded high density polyethylene fibers which have been fused together by heat and pressure, without binders or fillers, into a tough durable sheet structure. Additives have been incorporated into the polyethylene to provide ultraviolet light resistance.
