Xmark Housewrap
|
Our monolithic Xmark Housewrap replaces both micro-perforated and micro-porous housewrap technologies. The monolithic film, an unperforated non-woven polypropylene, is continuous without holes, pores or micro-pores and has a breathable coating on one side. It "breathes" by transmitting vapor from inside to outside via an absorption/diffusion/desorption mechanism allowing moisture out but blocking the transmission of moisture from outside to inside the house.
Xmark Housewrap provides resistance to liquid water that can penetrate outer cladding, creates resistance to passage of air, and limits the passage of water vapor to prevent build up of moisture in the wall cavity.
Compared with asphalt saturated kraft or felt, Xmark Housewrap has a higher resistance to tearing and breaking, is dispensed in large sheets with fewer lap joints, is durable after long-term water, heat, UV and wind exposure, has high resistance to water under pressure and will not absorb water thereby reducing the chance of mold growth.
Compared with many micro-perforated and microporous housewrap technologies, Xmark Housewrap exhibits desirable mvtr results, shows good hydrostatic resistance, holds up as an excellent air barrier, is insensitive to surfactants, and serves as an intrinsic viral/bacterial/odor barrier.
This product is approved for sale in both the U.S. and Canada (including Ontario) and complies with ICC-ES, CCMC, and BMEC standards. |
