As the outer surface of insulation materials, insulation facing is a multiple layers laminated materials. It is a thin layer attached to one side of the thermal insulation material to block vapor and reflect heat. It acts as a Thermal protective cover, a Vapor barrier and Flame retardant.
These qualities, together, helping the insulation system meet building codes, achieve better energy efficiency, and control condensation.
Radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves. Foil laminated Insulation materials with reflective surfaces, such as FSK, Foil-PET, can reflect radiant heat, preventing it from entering or escaping the building. Some studies show that FSK insulation facing can reduce cooling costs 5% to 10% when used in a warm, sunny climate.
A building vapor barrier, also known as a vapor retarder, is a material or layer installed in buildings to control the movement of water vapor. Its purpose is to prevent the migration of moisture from the warm, humid interior of a building to the cooler, drier exterior, such as FSK, ASJ, PSK, Foil-PET.
A building flame retardant facing, also known as a fire-resistant facing, is a foil-faced insulation, such as FSK, Foil fiberglass cloth, Reflective aluminum foil insulation facing. These facing materials offer a high degree of fire resistance due to the non-combustible nature of metal. They can reflect heat and act as a barrier against flames.
PSK (Poly-Scrim-Kraft) is use a white polypropylene outer layer insulation facing. It is more expensive than FSK but it have a white-colored finish makes it look nicer.
Thermal insulation FSK facing structure consists of Foil, Scrim, Kraft paper that laminated together using a flame-retardant adhesive.
Foil PET vapor barrier structure consists of PET-Foil, PET-Foil-PET or Foil-PET-Foil. It is an excellent reflective insulation facing and vapor barrier.
Heat sealing FSK facing no need applying adhesive for on-line lamination with insulation materials. It is heat-activated PE adhesive.
Aluminum foil laminated fiberglass cloth is an ideal material for thermal insulation facing.
