LONDON, Sept. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- DuPont
Performance Building Solutions, a leading innovator in material
science, has announced that it has won the 2024 R&D 100 award,
specifically in the Mechanical/Materials category, with
Tyvek® Trifecta™, the latest generation
breather membrane. For six decades, the R&D 100 Awards have
been a benchmark of achievement in science and technology, often
referred to informally as "The Oscars of Innovation."
Launched in May 2024,
Tyvek® Trifecta™ offers exceptional fire safety
and moisture protection, making it an ideal solution for external
walls of high-rise buildings. It is a non-combustible breather
membrane designed to provide all the benefits of a standard
Tyvek® breather membrane, but with A2-s1, d0
Class Fire Performance to the current European Fire Classification
Standard EN 13501-1. It surpasses current UK Building Regulations,
which require membranes to meet Class B.
The combination of Tyvek® Trifecta™ and
Airguard® A2 FR Tape creates a
fire-retardant system compatible with the United Kingdom's stringent building
regulations for fire safety. The patent pending design also enables
a significantly lighter weight and longer UV resistance making it
easier to install.
"We're thrilled that Tyvek® Trifecta™ has been
recognised as a new innovation that helps enhance fire safety and
moisture protection standards for the construction industry," said
Andrea Albert, Shelter Solutions
EMEA Marketing Leader at DuPont. "Receiving these awards
exemplifies the commitment and dedication our teams display to
deliver essential innovations for the construction industry."
