Home HVAC Tape Laminated Insulation Facing PSK Vapor Barrier Facing

PSK Vapor Barrier Facing

PSK (Poly-Scrim-Kraft) vapor barrier facing is an essential material for HVAC systems, providing excellent resistance against moisture and vapor transmission. Composed of a white polypropylene outer layer, reinforced fiberglass scrim, and natural brown kraft paper, PSK facing is laminated together using a flame-retardant adhesive to form a durable and effective barrier. While it is generally more expensive than FSK (Foil-Scrim-Kraft) facing, the clean white finish of PSK makes it a more visually appealing option in various applications.

Features and Benefits of PSK Facing

Enhanced Moisture Resistance: The polypropylene layer in PSK vapor barrier facing offers superior protection against moisture, helping to keep insulation dry and maintain its efficiency.
Durability: The reinforced fiberglass scrim enhances the durability of the material, making it resistant to punctures and tears, even in harsh environments.
Flame Retardant: PSK vapor barrier facing is treated with a flame-retardant adhesive to ensure safety in sensitive applications like HVAC ducts.
Visually Appealing: With its white finish, PSK facing provides an aesthetically pleasing look, making it ideal for exposed insulation in visible areas.
Environmentally Friendly: The kraft paper layer used in PSK is recyclable, making it a sustainable choice in insulation materials.
