WILMINGTON, Del., July 12, 2023 —DuPont Performance Building Solutions announced today that DuPont™ ArmorWall™ Systems has received two new ICC-ESL Reports  from the International Code Council (ICC). The newly attained reports are ICC-ESL-1536, applicable to ASTM E72-22, and ICC-ESL-1543, applicable to ASTM D1761-12. Obtaining these two notable third-party listings is yet another innovation in DuPont’s goal to deliver "safe and sustainable by design" products with verified in-plane shear racking strength, and fastener withdrawal strength for mechanical cladding attachment.

The ESL-1536 is for ASTM E72-22: Standard Test Methods of Conducting Strength Tests of Panels for Building Construction, which determines the structural properties of segments of wall, floor, and roof constructions. The ESL-1543 is for ASTM D1761-12: Standard Test Methods for Mechanical Fasteners in Wood, which evaluates the resistance of wood and wood-base materials to direct withdrawal of nails, staples, and screws.   These two tests are critical for a structural engineer to use during the exterior wall design process.

The ICC-ES Listing Program is the most recognized testing program in the industry for manufacturers of building products covered by existing consensus standards to show their product compliance with applicable standards referenced in the building codes and other applicable codes. DuPont has a long history of partnering with industry leading organizations to advance both building science and quality assurance on the job. To further this point, ArmorWall™ Systems have already attained:

DuPont™ ArmorWall™ Systems are premium five-in-one exterior wall assemblies incorporating five traditional building enclosure elements into a single panel product: structural sheathing, fire-resistance, air- and water-resistive barriers, and a high-performance continuous insulation layer. ArmorWall™ Systems have undergone rigorous testing and allow projects to meet continuous insulation building codes and the tight timelines of construction schedules faster and more cost-effectively. The system can be installed in as little as one revolution by a single labor crew, saving project schedules weeks, not just days.
