DuPont Safety & Construction recently introduced the FlexWrap EZ to its line of butyl-backed flashing systems to help create an air- and water-tight protective envelope.
The FlexWrap EZ is a flexible and versatile self-adhered flashing tape designed to seal around small exterior penetrations of all different shapes and sizes. It is ideal for flashing around the many smaller electrical, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) units, and plumbing penetrations as a fast and easy solution to help improve energy efficiency and the durability of a wall system.
Wide Variety of Penetrations
“Our latest innovation is unique and different from competitive solutions because of its flexibility, and versatility, for use on such a wide variety of wall penetrations typically found on a home or building,” said Alan Hubbell, residential market manager. “Multiple trades can use this single product on various types of penetrations for sealing the building envelope, no longer needing multiple products for different applications.”
The product can be applied to maneuver around small penetrations to reduce air leakage throughout the building envelope. The split release liner aids in a quick and easy installation, with guidelines and videos available.
Reduces Complexity for Contractors
“It helps reduce complexity for builders and contractors,” Hubbell said of the product. “One roll is enough to seal around all the typical penetrations in an average-sized home. Plus, it is designed to withstand extreme temperatures and 270 days of UV [ultraviolet] exposure, making it suitable for use in residential and commercial applications.”
The product is part of a complete DuPont Tyvek building envelope solutions portfolio to protect entire buildings against air and water intrusion. All of DuPont’s flashing systems products are available across the United States, while the FlexWrap EZ was also recently introduced to the European market and is slated to appear soon in Canada.
