High occupancy | Multi-occupancy | Exterior Wall

Fire risk averse A2 Euroclass non-combustible W1 grade weatherproofing breather membrane with low vapour resistance

 

DuPont™ Tyvek® Trifecta™ is a robust, non-combustible breather membrane suited for high-rise and higher-risk commercial and residential buildings with 3-in-1 underlaying properties of A2 (s1,d0), W1 and 0.416 MNsg / SD 0.08m.

We are thrilled to announce that Tyvek® Trifecta™ has won the 2025 Edison Gold Award in the High-Performance Engineering Materials category. The Edison Awards are a global competition honouring excellence in new product and service development, marketing, human-centered design, and innovation. Read more

This recognition arrives as an additional achievement after the 2024 R&D 100 GOLD award in the Technical / Materials category. The R&D 100 awards are a benchmark of achievement in science and technology, often referred to informally as “the Oscars of Innovation”.  Read more

Receiving these awards reflects the commitment of DuPont to develop and deliver solutions that improve safety in the construction industry. 

 
 
 
 
 
 

DuPont™ Tyvek® Trifecta™

Tyvek® Trifecta™ is a non-combustible and robust breather membrane suited for high-rise and high-risk commercial and residential buildings with 3-in-1 underlaying properties of A2 (s1,d0), W1 and 0.416 MNsg / SD 0.08m.

Tyvek® Trifecta™ doesn’t produce droplets or emit smoke when subjected to flame, making it a great choice for fire risk averse build-up designs. It is engineered for fast and easy installation with non-combustible A2 tape.

Airtight and watertight yet vapour-open, the Tyvek® Trifecta™ breather membrane also contributes to energy conservation and climate control, improving the comfort of occupants and contributing to higher internal air quality.

Tyvek® Trifecta™ is the unique long-term protection solution every builder can trust.

At DuPont, we proudly collaborate with esteemed organizations like RIBA - Royal Institute of British Architects and CABE - Chartered Association of Building Engineers to provide high-quality CPD seminars that enhance knowledge and skills for construction professionals.
