Safe and Reliable

RKW US will be highlighting two products, AptraÒ microporous film and RoofTopGuard II synthetic underlayment as well as other products for the packaging, medical, hygiene, agricultural, and construction markets.

AptraÒ microporous film is the premier waterproof, breathable polypropylene film produced today. AptraÒ film offers high breathability, outstanding barrier properties against viruses and bacterial agents as well as protecting against liquid and particulate passage. Applications range from limited use apparel and medical protective garments to roofing underlayment.

RoofTopGuard II is the number one synthetic underlayment used today which features a multilayer and anti-slip surface. RoofTopGuard II has been successfully used for many years on numerous construction projects in the USA. Thanks to the exclusive Fiber-Grip® surface, RoofTopGuard II can be applied 30 percent faster than similar products offered by the competition.

RoofTopGuard II synthetic underlayment is completely waterproof, extremely weather-resistant, and even hurricane-proof. In addition, the material is 100% 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.
