DuPont South Africa recently developed specifications in conjunction with the Steel Framed Housing Association that require all steel-framed houses be wrapped in a breathable membrane to ensure the long-term integrity of the buildings.

DuPont™ Tyvek® HomeWrap® was identified as the ideal product to meet and exceed all of the requirements. It offers quality, cost and energy efficiencies for low-rise residential and non-residential buildings.

"The building and construction industry in Africa has experienced tremendous growth and offers ongoing opportunities. With a wide range of DuPont offerings and solutions for the construction industry, we are committed to business growth,” said Alberto Gaspar, regional director, DuPont Africa.
