Frankenthal, August 14, 2009 – The RKW Group is one of the leading manufacturers of high-quality plastic films and nonwovens. The North American Business Unit, RKW US, will presents its product program for the construction industry on stand 3519 at the IFAI Expo '09 in San Diego / California from September 23 to 25, 2009.

Safe and Reliable

The highlight of the RKW presentation will be the multilayer and anti-slip RoofTopGuard II roofing underlays. These products have been successfully used for many years on numerous construction projects in the USA. Thanks to the exclusive Fiber-Grip ® surface, these can be processed 30 percent faster than similar products offered by the competition.

ROOFTOPGUARD II products  are completely waterproof, extremely weather-resistant, and are even hurricane-proof. In addition, the material is resistant to insects, pests, rotting, and mold. RKW grants a 30-year limited warranty on these underlayments which are supplied in the form of a roll, are easy to handle thanks to their low weight and can be stored out in the open for up to six months.
