DuPont™ ArmorWall™ SP Plus Fire-Rated (FR) Structural Insulated Sheathing (SIS)
5-in-1 Composite Panel Commercial Wall System
Featuring a 1/2″ layer of Magnesium Oxide (MgO) sheathing on the exterior and interior sides, DuPont™ ArmorWall™ SP Plus Fire-Rated (FR) Structural Insulated Sheathing (SIS) is a two-hour fire-resistant exterior insulated wall sheathing product, complete with a factory-applied, high quality air and water-resistive barrier on the exterior and interior sheathing layers.
ArmorWall™ SP Plus FR SIS
DuPont™ ArmorWall™ SP Plus Fire-Rated (FR) Structural Insulated Sheathing (SIS)* is unique due to its additional layer of sheathing, made of Magnesium Oxide (MgO), a natural mineral with fire-resistant properties, on the interior face, encompassing the rigid foam insulation.
This addition makes ArmorWall™ SP Plus FR SIS two (2) hour assembly rated, twice that of our standard ArmorWall™ Plus FR SIS panel.
ArmorWall™ SP Plus FR SIS arrives at the job site complete with a factory-applied, high quality air and water-resistive barrier on the exterior and interior sheathing layers.
Due to the high strength and rigidness of the structural sheathing, ArmorWall™ SP Plus FR SIS has the ability to move the stud face to the exterior face of the sheathing and has been tested to support loads equivalent to most building cladding finishes, with minimal creep while under load.
*formerly ArmorWall Plus Symmetrical Panel (SP)
In addition, the unique coating on ArmorWall™ SP Plus FR SIS offers industry-leading exterior adhesion performance and compatibility with tapes, sealants, and other materials, including the ArmorSeal line of products.
The ArmorSeal line of products can be installed and cured in harsh weather conditions, with overall proven functionality of the panel in all outdoor environments
Once seam and fasteners have been sealed the enclosure may be considered “dried-in”, allowing interior construction to commence regardless of final exterior finish status.
Having undergone rigorous testing, ArmorWall™ SP Plus FR SIS allows projects to meet continuous insulation (ci), building codes, and construction schedules faster and cost effectively.
Features and Benefits
Fusion Technology
-
Utilizes a 1/2" layer of Magnesium Oxide (MgO) sheathing on the exterior and interior face, providing top of the line, two-hour fire-resistance, durability, and strength
-
High-performance, poured polyurethane insulation layer fused to our sheathing, which provides an easy way to comply with continuous insulation requirements in building codes
Air and Water-Resistive Barrier
-
Arrives complete to the jobsite with a factory-applied, high quality air and water-resistive barrier on both exterior and interior sheathing layers
-
Coating offers industry-leading exterior adhesion performance and compatibility with tapes, sealants, and other materials
Cladding Attachment Support
-
Capable of handling many different claddings, attachments, and hangers, all of which attach directly into the component layers of the sheathing and no longer require attachment back to the stud frame or substrate assemblies
Ease of Installation
-
The MgO layers replace the common sheathings (such as gypsum, plywood, etc.) and compounds found in other products that require additional coatings, time, and cost
-
Performs as well or better than other ArmorWall™ FR SIS products and competitor products with regard to lateral strength, enabling designers to further reduce framing, sub-framing, and cross bracing
Install in Harsh Weather
-
ArmorSeal line of products can be installed and cured in harsh weather conditions, with overall proven functionality of the panel in all outdoor environments
-
ArmorWall™ SP Plus FR SIS can be exposed to weather for up to 180 days
