Products using nonwovens are targeting applications from housewrap to roofing underlayments to insulation materials within the housing and construction market. Fiberweb has launched a new brand of premium roofing accessories under the Climat brand name. Climat is a comprehensive system of vapor permeable roof and wall membranes as well as vapor control layers. Fiberweb's Linopore UV+microporous film technology has set new benchmarks in terms of thermal heat and UV resistance. The Climat range includes a number of roof underlays in weights ranging from 130-175 gsm. Typar remains once of the most recognizable brands for high performance housewraps. With its line of Tyvek housewrap products, DuPont, Wilmington, DE, is now expanding its position in the commercial building market. Unlike Tyvek rolled products, the fluid applied product can be applied to complex high-rise structures and buildings made of concrete. One recent innovation developed by Freudenberg Politex are environmentally friendly panels for thermal and acoustic insulation sold under the brand name Ecozero. These panels are made with polyester recycled from post-consumer recycled bottles. Colbond is offering products made from recycled polymers such as EnkaRetain and Drain, which in the US qualifies for LEED credit and by minimizing the carbon footprint. Xeroflor is an innovative business with a strong position in the fast growing green roof market. Xeroflor also supplies green roof components to this global customer network.
