FSK-718B
Foil-Scrim-Kraft Facing
High-Performance Vapor Barrier and Radiant Barrier
Foil Scrim Kraft Facing is a premium laminated insulation material widely used in thermal insulation applications. Also known as FSK foil or foil scrim kraft, this versatile material combines the benefits of multiple layers to provide a durable and effective vapor barrier and radiant barrier for a wide range of applications.
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.
