Technical Specifications

Part of a Complete Moisture Control System
Two-Ply Super Jumbo Tex 60 Minute is the flagship product of the
Jumbo Tex family – a product line that has set the industry standard for
effectiveness and durability as a weather-resistive barrier behind all
major exterior wall claddings. It has been chosen by builders and
architects to protect over five million homes and commercial buildings
from the problems caused by water
intrusion and excessive moisture.
Two-Ply Super Jumbo Tex 60
Minute is engineered for
residential and commercial
construction applications that demand the
maximum water and moisture protection
available. Delivering over fifteen times the
minimum water resistance requirement for
Grade “D” paper, it has the toughness to
survive the most rugged of jobsites. The product is part of a complete Moisture
Control System for walls engineered by the Fortifiber Building Systems Group
®
,
which helps manage and eliminate moisture-related problems – including water-
related structural failures, mold and mildew.
Two-Ply Super Jumbo Tex 60 Minute provides the ideal balance between water
protection and vapor permeability, to keep walls dry and homes comfortable. The
product also reduces air infiltration in exterior walls, contributing to energy savings.
Two-Ply Super Jumbo Tex 60 Minute is comprised of two layers of asphalt-saturated
building paper, which is considered by many building science experts to provide the
ideal drainage plane behind exterior claddings, and to increase the drying potential of
the wall system when wet. Dual layers also result in better sealing around attachment
fasteners and better building envelope integration. Unlike some plastic housewraps,
it will retain its weather-resistive properties when exposed to either jobsite surfactants
or wood extracts and tannin derivatives from wood siding.
Unique Weather-Resistive Properties
The product’s pliability and 40 inch wide roll size make it easier to install and store
on the jobsite than other weather-resistive building materials. It is also more cost-
effective than plastic housewraps, while offering the most formidable defense against
water intrusion and moisture problems. When the code requires two layers of Grade
“D” building paper, Two-Ply Super Jumbo Tex 60 Minute does the job in one pass,
saving costly labor dollars. In addition, it outperforms plastic housewraps in
protecting against water intrusion – while providing vapor permeability behind
stucco, fiber cement siding, brick, vinyl and wood siding.
Decades of Proven Performance
Two-Ply Super Jumbo Tex 60 Minute is a product manufactured
by the Fortifiber Building Systems Group. With more than a
seventy-five year history of proven performance, technical
expertise and practical know-how, the company has become
a trusted partner to builders, architects and code officials.
