DuPont de Nemours, Inc. (DD - Free Report) has introduced its newest roofing underlayment product range, the Tyvek Protec PSU peel and stick underlayment. The product is intended to give high-performance, high-temperature and UV resistance, as well as a slip-resistant walking surface, split liner for ease of installation, an ICC-ES code report and the coveted FL/Miami-Dade certification.
The self-adhered Tyvek Protec PSU product is designed for important regions of the roof, such as the eaves and valleys, which are more prone to water leaks. The adhesive layer, made of rubberized asphalt, acts as an extra sealer, providing better protection for fasteners and nails than a mechanically attached sheet. The product also protects against water incursion caused by wind-driven rain and ice dams, making it suitable for a variety of climates and places.
DuPont's Tyvek Protec PSU peel and stick underlayment provides reliable, high-quality performance that meets or surpasses industry and code standards. The inclusion of this new product provides a single source for all roof underlayment requirements, resulting in a durable and reliable roofing system.
Shares of DuPont have lost 5.5% over the past year compared with a 15.9% decline of its industry.
