DuPont™ Tyvek® Building Envelope Solutions


Pink® Batts® and DuPont™ Tyvek® coming together for greater good

Before 1980 building underlays did not exist as we know it. DuPont™ created a synthetic product that could be cut but not torn, and which allowed moisture vapour to pass through but nothing else. Tyvek® was born and after 30 years of category leadership and millions of installations, DuPont™ Tyvek® is still the builder’s choice in the weather tightness system throughout the U.S.A.

The Pink® Batts® insulation team is now partnering with DuPont™ to distribute Tyvek® building envelope solutions in New Zealand. We believe our partnership will bring together proven product quality, experience and a no-nonsense service promise you can rely on. 

Tyvek® is manufactured and supplied by DuPont™ Australia Pty Ltd to Tasman as authorised NZ distributor.  Information about Tyvek® products has been provided by DuPont™/Tyvek®.

 

Performance beyond protection with Tyvek® 

DuPont™ Tyvek® building envelope solutions provide a balance of four properties to maintain the protection, comfort and efficiency of the building:

  • Air resistance to help prevent the flow of air through cavities and reduce drafts
  • Moisture resistance to help protect against water
  • Moisture vapour permeability to promote drying
  • Durability to withstand rigours of the construction process

 

Defining the difference

DuPont™ Tyvek® is made from single-layer high-density polyethylene composed of millions of microfibres spun-bound in a maze-like structure. The structure and patented technology of the Tyvek® membrane provides

  • excellent resistance to UV with a comfortable 120-day exposure limit
  • temperature resistance up to 100°C
