Improved performance standards for polyethylene sheet vapour barriers / by A.J. Houston.: NH17-145/1986E-PDF

"This paper presents the findings from two specific research projects related to the deterioration of polyethylene film used as vapour barrier in Canadian housing. As a consequence of the findings from these studies the interested industry and standards writing bodies responded. Their related standard writing activities are discussed. Delivery of reliable future film product is now expected. A method of estimating polyethylene film life is presented here also. A limited review is given also of the Canadian government's housing agency activities, particularly in relation to technical research projects"--Introd.
