Business Wire
USG Corporation (NYSE: USG) and Tremco Commercial Sealants &
Waterproofing (CS&W) today announced the Securock® ExoAir® 430
System — the first integrated gypsum sheathing panel with a
factory-applied fluid air-barrier membrane — has been named to
BuildingGreen’s Top 10 Green Building Products for 2017.
“To have the Securock® ExoAir® 430 System recognized for its
features and environmental benefits by BuildingGreen is truly an
honor,” said Kurt Peterson, Senior Director, Building Envelope
Solutions, at USG. “We worked tirelessly with our colleagues at
Tremco to create a system that improves the construction process
and gives our clients and customers the best possible air-barrier
solution on the market.”
A critical environmental advantage of the Securock® ExoAir® 430
System, compared with standard peel-and-stick and fluid-applied
membranes, is its minimized jobsite waste (since there are no
tapes, sheet goods, or pails of fluid to transport or dispose). In
addition, the three key system components — USG Securock® Brand
gypsum wallboard, Tremco’s ExoAir® 230 Membrane and Dymonic® 100 —
have all been certified GREENGUARD Gold.
“Our buildings have to combine performance and environmental
stewardship. Securock® ExoAir® 430’s all-in-one sheathing and
factory-applied air/water barrier helps ensure proper installation
of a complete weather barrier system, while minimizing jobsite and
material waste, contractor resources, and exposure to chemicals
onsite,” said Brent Ehrlich, Products and Materials Specialist,
BuildingGreen, Inc.
USG and Tremco are well known and established manufacturers in
the building materials industry, and the products that make up the
system are equally proven.
“Collaborating with USG on the development, launch and sale of
the Securock® ExoAir® 430 System is an exceptional
experience,” said Chuck Houk, President, Tremco Commercial Sealants
& Waterproofing Division. “We are both aligned in our
commitment to manufacturing high-quality, sustainable products. We
are pleased to have this product recognized by BuildingGreen.”
Winners were announced today, October 5, 2016 at the Greenbuild
Expo. Greenbuild is the world’s largest conference and expo
dedicated to green building.
