Sioux Falls, SD – Raven Industries Engineered Films Division (Nasdaq:RAVN) announces the addition of VaporBlock® G™, an innovative under-concrete-slab vapor barrier produced with a layer of post-consumer recycled content. VaporBlock G is the first vapor barrier on the market to exceed ASTM E1745-11, Class “A”, and qualify under the LEED Building Design and Construction 2009 Edition, Materials and Resources, Credit 4 (Recycled Content) for 1 LEED point. VaporBlock G is co-extruded using state-of-the-art premium resins in the outer layers and 10% post-consumer recycled content in the core layer. VaporBlock G is an addition to the proven Raven VaporBlock® series of high-performance vapor barriers and gas/moisture barriers. The official VaporBlock G product launch is November 14–16, in conjunction with the GREENBUILD® 2012 International Conference and Exposition in San Francisco, CA.
“We are pleased to introduce VaporBlock G to the construction industry. We have been working closely with customers and building design professionals to meet the need for a recycled product that contributes to higher project LEED points,” stated Anthony Schmidt, Vice President and General Manager for the Raven Engineered Films Division. “Our challenge was to formulate a product that could conform to the rigorous standards of our premium VaporBlock® line and still incorporate post-consumer recycled resins.
