DuPont Tyvek StuccoWrap is a high-performance water-resistive and air barrier (WRB) with an engineered, grooved surface designed to function as a drainage plane behind stucco facades and EIFS systems. It is optimal for both traditional and synthetic stucco systems in commercial and residential construction, effectively reducing cracking, improving stucco curing, and channeling moisture out of the wall. Highly inert, Tyvek StuccoWrap prevents chemical reactions or degradation when in contact with stucco. It surpasses Grade D paper in managing hydration and maintaining stability during curing, significantly reducing cracking in the scratch coat and enhancing stucco integrity. Suitable for traditional stucco, direct-applied stone masonry, and lapped cedar and cement siding applications up to four stories, Tyvek StuccoWrap boasts a proven track record and meets all major building codes by ICC-ES evaluation reports.
High Performance Durability: 30% more flexural strength than stucco cured on 60-minute building paper and 3X stronger tear strength.
Temperature and UV Resistance: Withstands up to four months (120 days) of UV exposure.
Air and Water Barrier Performance: Does not absorb water, maintaining the moisture level needed for better curing and preventing expansion and contraction, resulting in stronger stucco.
