"IBS was an excellent opportunity to showcase a number of our innovative energy efficient products including DuPont™ Tyvek® ThermaWrap™ and Tyvek® AtticWrap™ that demonstrate our commitment to helping people build more sustainable buildings," Tom said. "I was pleased to learn how consistent the conservation goals and strategies are between our two programs and thank them for all of their interest and support."
The DuPont™ Corian® Illumination Series and the DuPont™ Corian® Terra Collection with pre-consumer recycled content certified by Scientific Certification Systems (SCS) were featured at the event.
