- DuraGard™ WD Self-Adhered Flashing Tape designed to help
seal and protect against moisture intrusion around windows
and doors
- LiquidArmor™ FJ Flashing and Joint Compound for air-
and water-resistive barrier continuity
WILMINGTON, Del., Aug. 20,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- DuPont (NYSE:DD) has added two
new accessories to its commercial construction portfolio: DuraGard™
WD Self-Adhered Flashing Tape and LiquidArmor™ FJ Flashing and
Joint Compound. Both products are designed to help provide air and
water barrier continuity and integrate seamlessly with the DuPont™
ArmorWall™ System, a high-performance 5-in-1 exterior wall
assembly.
"With their ability to be applied at low temps, 270 days of UV
exposure, and fast and easy application, these new accessories on
their own can help maximize efficiency for installers and help
reduce time and labor on the jobsite for all types of commercial
buildings," said Casey Sincavage,
ArmorWall™ Growth Manager. "Together and as part of the complete
ArmorWall™ System, they can take the already impressive scheduling
flexibility of our innovative 5-in-1 system to a whole new
level."
DuraGard™ WD Self-Adhered Flashing Tape is a
primerless window and door rough opening flashing tape that helps
maintain the integrity of air- and water-resistive barrier
assemblies. By sealing and protecting vulnerable areas around
openings, DuraGard™ WD can help improve the durability and energy
efficiency of a wide range of commercial buildings. It features an
easy-to-remove, moisture-stable split-release liner, available in
9-, 10- and 12-inch widths, for optimal use with ArmorWall™ Plus
panel sizes, allowing installers to align the high-performance tape
precisely on exterior surfaces. The result: high-performance rough
opening protection that keeps air and water out and integrates
seamlessly with the DuPont™ ArmorWall™ System as part of a complete
building enclosure.
The latest addition to DuPont's LiquidArmor™ family of
fluid-applied flashing solutions, LiquidArmor™ FJ Flashing and
Joint Compound is a single-component, high-solids STPE
formulation that has low shrinkage during curing and requires just
one application. It is formulated to flow smoothly while resisting
sag, contributing to fast and efficient application with the
ability to be easily tooled to the proper thickness. LiquidArmor™
FJ is designed to be used at panel edges, seams and fastener heads
to complete the air- and water-resistive barrier continuity of the
ArmorWall™ System.
The DuPont™ ArmorWall™ System is one of the highest-performing
and most innovative exterior wall system solutions on the market
today. It incorporates five traditional building enclosure elements
into a single panel system, including structural sheathing allowing
direct cladding attachment, fire-resistance, continuous air
barrier, water-resistive barrier and vapor control and a
high-performance, low-global-warming-potential continuous
insulation layer fused to the sheathing. The premium 5-in-1
composite panel system can be installed in as little as one
building revolution, saving time, labor and material costs.
The latest additions to DuPont's commercial construction
portfolio, DuraGard™ WD and LiquidArmor™ FJ help further simplify
and streamline the installation process of the ArmorWall™ System by
increasing jobsite flexibility and productivity while also
enhancing the system's long-term performance.
