Natural disasters can strike at any time, leaving homes, businesses, and infrastructure in exposed to the elements. When rapid response is crucial to protecting lives and property, having the right materials can make all the difference. Viaflex’s Dura-Skrim® Disaster Recovery Film is a reliable solution for disaster response teams, governments, and relief organizations. Trusted by FEMA, USACE, and other critical agencies, Dura-Skrim delivers unmatched durability, versatility and ease of deployment. Viaflex has over 40 years of experience in developing high-performance polymer films, and Dura-Skrim has been a cornerstone of disaster recovery efforts for decades. Engineered for temporary shelters, structural enclosures and protective barriers, Dura-Skrim is designed to withstand the harsh conditions typically encountered in post-disaster events, including high winds, heavy rainfall and rough handling during setup. Its lightweight yet incredibly strong composition makes it the perfect selection for emergency situations where time, durability and flexibility are of the essence.
Proven Performance and Reliability: Dura-Skrim is the go-to solution for disaster response agencies and relief organizations worldwide. Its track record speaks for itself—FEMA and other key agencies have come to rely on Dura-Skrim for critical disaster recovery operations.
Superior Strength with Scrim Reinforcement: One of the standout features of Dura-Skrim is its remarkable strength-to-weight ratio. The film incorporates a 1000-denier scrim reinforcement with a scrim pattern that provides high tensile strength and puncture resistance. This makes Dura-Skrim highly durable, withstanding the kind of wear and tear typically encountered in emergency situations, such as sharp debris, prolonged exposure to the elements, and frequent handling.
Lightweight and Easy to Transport: Weighing significantly less than traditional tarps or construction materials, Dura-Skrim is incredibly easy to transport, making it ideal for disaster recovery teams who need to mobilize quickly. Despite its lightweight nature, it doesn’t sacrifice durability, which ensures long-lasting protection.
Customizable Sizes and Rapid Deployment: Time is critical in disaster scenarios, and Dura-Skrim is designed for rapid deployment. The film can be customized to various widths (in 6-foot increments) and lengths (up to 5,500 feet), allowing for custom-made solutions that meet the specific requirements of different disaster sites. Whether you’re covering large structural enclosures or protecting individual pieces of equipment, Viaflex’s custom sizing ensures maximum coverage with minimal waste.
Enhanced Usability with Installation Features: Setting up temporary shelters, roof coverings or enclosures in a disaster zone can be challenging, but Dura-Skrim simplifies this process. It comes equipped with tarp grabbers and tie-down buttons that allow for easy rope pull-through. This ensures a secure and efficient setup, even in high-stress environments. Additionally, the two-color print capability enables customizable branding or identification, helping relief agencies quickly identify resources and gear.
Unmatched Manufacturing Capacity: Viaflex’s production capabilities ensure that large quantities of Dura-Skrim can be produced and delivered rapidly. This is critical for large-scale disaster recovery operations that require quick access to supplies. Viaflex’s ability to scale up production makes Dura-Skrim a reliable choice for disaster management projects.
Commitment to Quality and Service: Dura-Skrim is ISO 9001 certified, highlighting Viaflex’s dedication to delivering a consistently high-quality product. The company also offers dedicated customer support, ensuring that disaster response teams have all the assistance they need, from design to installation.
Given Dura-Skrim’s unmatched performance, strength and reliability, it is an excellent choice for disaster recovery teams, relief organizations and government agencies. Its proven track record and design tailored to the demands of emergency situations make it a top-tier choice. For those involved in disaster response who require a material that can withstand the harshest conditions while providing the flexibility and rapid deployment needed during emergencies, Dura-Skrim is the clear choice.
