Insulation Facing Description

 

Our foil scrim kraft insulation is a composite material consisting of three distinct layers: a reflective aluminum foil surface, a durable fiberglass scrim reinforcement, and a robust kraft paper backing. This unique combination of materials provides exceptional tensile strength, tear resistance, and excellent vapor barrier properties. The aluminum foil layer is highly reflective, effectively blocking radiant heat, while the fiberglass scrim adds superior strength and durability.

  • Features

    • Effective Vapor Barrier: Prevents moisture from penetrating insulation, protecting against condensation and mold growth.
    • Radiant Heat Reflection: The aluminum foil surface reflects radiant heat, enhancing the thermal performance of insulation and improving energy efficiency.
    • High Durability: The fiberglass scrim layer, reinforced with adhesive on both sides, increases the tensile strength, making the material tear-resistant and durable.
    • Moisture Protection: The laminated structure offers reliable protection against moisture and air infiltration.
    • Easy to Apply: The laminated construction is easy to install on various insulation systems, reducing installation time and costs.
    • Environmentally Friendly: The components are recyclable, contributing to environmentally conscious insulation solutions.
  • Applications

    Foil Scrim Kraft Facing is an essential material for a variety of thermal and vapor barrier applications, including:

    • Ductwork Insulation: It is highly effective in HVAC systems, providing both thermal insulation and moisture protection for ductwork.
    • Exterior Wall Insulation: It enhances thermal performance in building insulation systems, reducing energy loss and improving building efficiency.
    • Metal Building Insulation: Provides an effective solution for metal buildings, blocking heat transfer and offering protection against condensation.
    • Pipeline Insulation: Ideal for protecting hot and cold pipelines, maintaining temperature control and reducing energy loss.
    • Hot Water Tank Insulation: It serves as an effective insulation material for hot water tanks, enhancing heat retention.
