Dura-Skrim® R-Series R5 & R10 (R5CC)
Types:
In industries that demand robust, temporary solutions for containment, protection, and enclosures, finding a material that balances durability, ease of use and reliability can be a challenge. Enter Viaflex’s Dura-Skrim R-Series, a high-performance polyethylene film that has become a trusted choice across sectors like construction, erosion control, shipping and more. Whether it’s a job site requiring temporary walls or an environmental project needing erosion control, Dura-Skrim’s R-Series is designed to meet the highest standards of performance.
Features
Exceptional Tear and Puncture Resistance
At the core of the Dura-Skrim R-Series is a heavy-duty scrim reinforcement that dramatically enhances the film’s tear resistance. This scrim, made from high-strength polyethylene, responds to any puncture or tear by surrounding the area and preventing it from spreading further. This unique characteristic makes Dura-Skrim ideal for high-demand markets where accidental damage is a risk, such as construction enclosures, fumigation covers, or shipping and packaging.
UV Protection for Extended Outdoor Life
A standout feature of the Dura-Skrim R-Series is its ability to withstand harsh outdoor environments for up to a year. Both outer layers of the material contain high concentrations of UV inhibitors and thermal stabilizers, which protect the film from sun damage, fading, and degradation. This UV resistance makes the R-Series a reliable choice for long-term temporary outdoor uses like erosion control and remediation covers.
Fire Retardant Option
For projects that require adherence to fire safety regulations, the Dura-Skrim FR-Series is engineered with fire-retardant properties that meet or exceed NFPA’s 701 test. The FR-Series provides the same high tear resistance and durability but with added safety, making it suitable for industries or settings where fire risk is a concern, such as construction sites or enclosed spaces.
Wide Variety of Sizes and Custom Sizes
Viaflex offers Dura-Skrim R-Series in a wide range of sizes, from 6 to 60 feet wide and up to 100 feet long, accommodating projects of various scales. Custom widths are also available, ensuring you get the perfect fit for your specific needs. The panels are accordion-folded and rolled tightly, allowing for easy handling and installation, saving time on large-scale jobs.
Easy Installation and Handling
One often overlooked benefit of Dura-Skrim R-Series is its practicality in the field. The film is accordion-folded and tightly rolled onto a heavy-duty core, which makes it easier to transport, unfold, and install. This user-friendly packaging can save time and effort during installation, particularly in large markets where handling bulky materials could otherwise be cumbersome.
Application Usage
