Pactiv GreenGuard Flashing Completes Moisture Management SystemProduct Prevents Water Damage at Critical Penetration Areas

ATLANTA- Pactiv Corporation (NSYE: PTV) moisture management system includes two advanced, self-adhering flashing membranes within its premium line of moisture management products. GreenGuard® Flashing and GreenGuard® SuperStretch™ Flashing offer significant advantages over other flashing materials when used in conjunction with GreenGuard® housewraps such as GreenGuard? RainDrop® drainage housewrap.

GreenGuard SuperStretch Flashing

GreenGuard® Flashing and GreenGuard® SuperStretch™ Flashing deflect water that would otherwise enter around windows and doors, channels it down the face of wall, and directs it away from the structure. Their distinct composition allows each product to create airtight and watertight seals that fully adhere to wood, polystyrene sheathings and housewraps.

Both GreenGuard® Flashing and GreenGuard® SuperStretch™ Flashing are composed of a high performance butyl-rubber formulation and contain no asphalt, volatile organic compounds or solvents. Additionally, GreenGuard® butyl flashings perform better than polymer-backed flashing by conforming to irregular surfaces caused by nails, uneven spots in wood sheathing, and window flange edges or joints. The result eliminates gaps that could lead to the development of water canals. What's more, the membranes demonstrate consistent initial adhesion across a broad range of installation temperatures.

"Pactiv's building products are designed to improve the moisture resistance of today's homes," noted Dan Partrich, marketing manager for the Building Products Division of Pactiv. "By adding GreenGuard® Flashing and GreenGuard® SuperStretch™ Flashing to our GreenGuard® family of products, we now offer a complete wall moisture management system designed to meet the rigors and challenges faced on the job site, while offering the highest level of protection against water intrusion."

GreenGuard® Flashing is an extra durable, self-adhering flashing membrane that was originally adapted from an underground water sealing product. The membrane incorporates a split-release design, which allows for easy and fast application. It is available in 4" by 65.6' rolls. GreenGuard® SuperStretch™ Flashing is an extremely flexible, self-adhering flashing membrane that is highly conformable and stretches in any direction, making it the ideal choice for flashing curved and three-dimensional shapes. It is available in 7" by 32.8' rolls.
