RE: HydroGap Drainable Housewrap CCMC Certification

To whom it may concern:

As of August 2018, Benjamin Obdyke has been working with Canadian Construction Materials Centre
(CCMC) to test our HydroGap Drainable Housewrap to the CCMC standards for Sheathing Membrane,
Breather-Type with Drainage Capabilities for Moisture Index less than 1.

Benjamin Obdyke initiated a request for CCMC testing in August of 2018 and the CCMC technical guide
was made available to us in April 2019. We are currently working with a CCMC certified testing agency
out of Ontario, Canada to begin testing.

In the interim, Benjamin Obdyke has requested Morrison Hershfield, a Canadian engineering consultant,
to objectively evaluate HydroGap for use as a weather barrier – or sheathing membrane, using the
language of the Canadian codes – in exterior wall assemblies in housing and small buildings.

The evaluation from Morrison Hershfield states, “HydroGap Drainable Housewrap meets the general
code’s intent of providing a secondary plane of protection, thereby controlling water ingress into
buildings.” (Morrison Hershfield Limited, 2019, p.6)

Benjamin Obdyke received the final evaluation letter from Morrison Hershfield on June 4, 2019.
A copy of the evaluation letter can be issued upon request. Please email TechSupport@obdyke.com
with your request.
