Tyvek
Tyvek is a high-strength, lightweight and versatile synthetic material made from fine fibres developed by DuPont, a multinational chemicals and materials company. Tyvek is made from polyethylene fibres that are bonded together using a special process to form a non-woven material. This material has some unique properties that make it particularly suitable for use as a Christmas strip.
For drainage pipes
PVC (polyvinyl chloride)
Weatherproof
PET (polyethylene terephthalate)
PET (polyethylene terephthalate) is a versatile and widely used plastic material that is resistant to moisture, chemicals and UV radiation. This allows it to be used in various environments, including outdoors.
Moisture resistant
