Alpha ProTech Engineered Products has signed an exclusive contract with JX Nippon ANCI, a manufacturer and seller of nonwoven mesh fabrics, to launch REX Wrap Fortis House Wraps with JX ALTA 360º Drainage Technology, a line of house wrap utilising the revolutionary JX ALTA 360 drainage technology. This announcement has been made by Alpha Pro Tech.

Alpha Pro Tech is a leading manufacturer of products designed to protect people, products and environments, including disposable protective apparel and building products.

The new product line will be marketed by APT and JX Nippon ANCI. The exclusive agreement covers North America, parts of the Caribbean and Belize through 2020, as well as automatic extensions for two year periods provided that certain sales forecast are attained.

With its one-of-a-kind construction, REX Wrap Fortis with JX ALTA 360º Drainage Technology uniquely enables the drainage of water in every direction to protect buildings from the elements exponentially better than a traditional housewrap while decreasing job site material waste, simplifying installation to reduce labour and carrying fewer products. The line comes in three variations; High-P, for those climates needing a high permeability product, Low-P, for those climates needing a low permeability product and a Commercial version made specifically for large format/high rise applications that need to meet the NFPA 285 fire codes. All three products may be used as a component to an EIFS or one-coat stucco system and meet the code requirements as an air barrier as well. No other house wrap product on the market today offers this unique construction of 360º drainage technology.

Lloyd Hoffman, CEO of Alpha Pro Tech, commented, "Our new REX Wrap Fortis house wrap line provides us with a substantial opportunity in a segment of the house wrap market that we have not yet tapped into, significantly expanding the growth opportunities in our Building Supply segment. We already have commitments from building contractors to use REX Wrap Fortis with JX ALTA 360º Drainage Technology in their upcoming construction projects. The initial customer response has been extremely positive as contractors recognise the quality of the product and its unique features. As part of our commitment to our customers and shareholders, we continually look to develop and market innovative, high quality, value-added products."

Alvin Everson, president of JX Nippon ANCI, commented, "The relationship with APT represents a powerful opportunity for us to extend the use of our fabrics to a line of cutting-edge products. We are excited to work with APT to offer the most technologically advanced house wraps on the market." (SV)
