Strong Man launches new vapor retarder/barrier building products

Published On: September 17, 2013

New line emerges from strategic alliance with Raven Industries.

Strong Man Building Products Corp., Pompton Plains, N.J., a leading manufacturer of weather and debris enclosures, is expanding its product line with the addition of VaporBlock®. The vapor retarder/barrier products are manufactured by Raven Industries and meet or exceed ASTM E-1745 requirements for water vapor retarders used in contact with soil or granular fill under concrete slabs.

VaporBlock sets a high standard for vapor retarders/barriers. The product is manufactured from high-grade raw materials that are consistent in quality, unlike common construction grades of 4, 6 or 10 mil polyethylene that are produced with a high percentage of “post consumer” recycled materials that cause inconsistencies in physical strength and permeability. In addition, high puncture resistance and tensile strength provide the attributes that are vital in a vapor retarder/barrier. VaporBlock is currently available through all Strong Man distributers, offered in the 10, 15 and Plus 20 formulas, with accessories.
