Benjamin Obdyke Incorporated has strengthened its line of moisture management solutions with the release of commercial-grade FlatWrap® UV housewrap and HydroFlash® UV self-adhered flashing.
Formerly known as FlatWrap® HP, the new and improved FlatWrap® UV is designed for use with architectural designs that incorporate open joint claddings. When used in conjunction with a rainscreen, it provides superior bulk water drainage, vapor permeability and durability. The product features a high performance tri-laminate design with superior UV resistance versus typical weather resistant barriers. In addition, the product has a vapor permeability of 35 perms, and has been proven to increase tear and wind load resistance for jobs over 40'.
The latest addition to the HydroFlash line of self-adhered flashing, HydroFlash UV was created specifically for use with FlatWrap® UV. HydroFlash UV’s black color is virtually invisible when installed with FlatWrap UV in open joint cladding applications. The latest technology in flashing adhesion, it can be applied to damp surfaces and installed down to 0°F. It is specially formulated for aggressive adhesion to FlatWrap UV and other housewraps. It can also be applied over furring strips, making them invisible once cladding is installed.
