• Pactiv is now offering GreenGuard® RainDrop® through EAS. Here’s what Pactiv has to say about it:
  
  “New and innovative! GreenGuard® RainDrop® approaches the area of moisture management in two ways. First, as a barrier, it has typical housewrap moisture and air penetration resistance. But, it is unique in that it also is designed as a drainage plane. When siding is installed over GreenGuard® RainDrop®, channels remain for water to drain away from the surface and, with the water gone the surface moisture dissipates through normal drying by evaporation. New GreenGuard® RainDrop® is a woven, non-perforated wrap that provides exceptional tear resistance approaching that of our “original green tough stuff” GreenGuard® Classic Wrap. In addition, GreenGuard® RainDrop® breathes to allow moisture vapor to escape from the wall cavity.”
