Case study: Tyvek® Trifecta™ at a Major Hotel’s Expansion Project
When faced with new fire safety regulations, TKS sought our expertise to integrate Tyvek® Trifecta™ into their hotel design. Our Tyvek® specialists provided on-site training and a ‘toolbox talk’ for the installation team, sharing best practices for effective membrane application. This hands-on support continued over several weeks, ensuring compliance with building regulations and instilling confidence in the installation process.
With our commitment to collaboration, TKS not only met critical fire resistance standards but also transformed their vision into reality, creating a safe environment for hotel guests and staff.

What Makes a Tyvek® Watertight Breather Membrane Unique?
A DuPont™ Tyvek® watertight membrane can provide top quality durability, protection and energy efficiency for homes and buildings. For long-lasting protection against water infiltration, air infiltration and moisture, Tyvek® breather membranes provides a proven solution.
Tested and Proven Performance
A comprehensive ageing test conducted by the SP Technical Research Institute of Sweden has demonstrated the significantly superior durability of Tyvek® compared to the tested multi-layer products.
Thickness and Quality of the Functional Layer
Most of the common multi-layer underlays that were tested only have functional layers that are ca. three times thinner than a human hair. The functional layer of DuPont™ Tyvek® is ca. 6 to 8 times thicker than most common multi-layer underlays – giving long-lasting performance.
Unique Structure
Tyvek® consists of millions of microfibres in a unique ‘maze’ pattern. Thanks to this structure, UV and heat additives are spread across the membrane evenly to provide superior resistance and durability.
Proven Resistance to UV
Whereas most multi-layer underlays are made of polypropylene (PP), the functional layer in DuPont™ Tyvek® uses a material – stabilised polyethylene (PE) – that resists 100% high ultraviolet (UV) rays and heat far better.
Resists Temperatures of up to 100°C
Heat can seriously degrade the functionality of a watertight membrane over time, and temperatures on top of insulation sometimes exceed 80°C. So for long-term performance and investment security, DuPont™ Tyvek® breather membranes are designed to resist temperatures of up to 100°C.
Made by DuPont – Your Guarantee of Quality
DuPont™ Tyvek® uses a unique manufacturing process that is based on flash-spunbond technology. Every strand comes with over twenty years of experience in the EMEA underlay market and a commitment to innovation and quality woven right in.
