Product Summary
Pango® Wrap Termite/Vapor Barrier is an under-slab termite barrier designed to protect against subterranean termites and moisture vapor. Through patented and trade secret processes, Pango Wrap combines uniquely designed barrier materials with the flexibility and strength of extruded, high-performance polyolefin film into an easy-to-install, continuous physical foundation termite barrier.
Not only is Pango Wrap a physical termite barrier that protects your home against unwanted termites, it also prevents moisture vapor from causing damage to building components and greatly impedes the influx of soil gases like radon and methane.
Construction and Materials
The Stego® industries product, a key component in weatherization and protection systems, is designed for robust performance as a vapor barrier and termite barrier. Its construction is engineered for durability and ease of installation in various building applications.
The primary material used in this product is a high-strength, multi-layer polyethylene film. This film is specifically formulated to provide an exceptional barrier against moisture vapor transmission and to deter subterranean termites. The multi-layer construction enhances its puncture resistance and overall structural integrity, crucial for long-term protection within building envelopes.
Key features of its construction and materials include:
- Material Composition: High-grade, virgin polyethylene resin is the foundation of the film. This ensures consistent quality and performance.
- Layered Design: The film is manufactured with multiple layers that are co-extruded or laminated together. This layering technique contributes to superior tensile strength and elongation properties, allowing the material to withstand the stresses of installation and the building's movement over time.
- Barrier Properties: The specific formulation and thickness of the polyethylene provide an effective impediment to the passage of water vapor. This is vital for preventing moisture-related issues such as mold, mildew, and structural degradation within walls, foundations, and crawl spaces.
- Termite Resistance: The material is engineered to be impenetrable to subterranean termites. Its composition and seamless application create a physical barrier that prevents these pests from accessing the building structure through the soil.
- Durability and Strength: The product exhibits high resistance to puncture and tearing. This is achieved through the selection of robust raw materials and advanced manufacturing processes that ensure the film can endure the rigors of construction site handling and the long-term environmental conditions it will face.
- Flexibility: Despite its strength, the material remains flexible enough to conform to different building shapes and configurations, facilitating a complete and effective seal.
The Stego® industries product is a testament to advanced material science and manufacturing expertise, providing builders and homeowners with a reliable solution for creating a more durable and healthy building environment.
