Insulation Facing Description

 

The Aluminum Foil Glass Cloth Facing is a specialized material used in thermal insulation applications to provide heat reflection, moisture resistance, and fire protection. This facing consists of a laminated composite material combining layers of aluminum foil and glass cloth to enhance the thermal performance and durability of insulation systems.

This laminated insulation facing consists of 18u aluminum foil, 8×8 mesh/cm glass cloth as well as heat-activated polyethylene on its back. It is a premium grade heat-sealing aluminum glass cloth facing, tough, durable and no need applying extra adhesive. Aluminum foil glass cloth facing excellent on great heat reflection, vapor resistance due to foil facing. It can be produced according to heavier thickness glass cloth or special weave pattern glass cloth request.

Aluminum Foil Glass Cloth Facing Applications:

1. HVAC Systems: Aluminum foil facing is commonly used in HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems as a facing material for thermal insulation to improve energy efficiency and temperature control.

2. Ductwork Insulation: The facing material is applied to the insulation of ductwork in buildings to enhance thermal performance, reduce heat loss or gain, and provide protection against moisture and fire hazards.

3. Pipe Insulation: It is used in pipe insulation applications to enhance the thermal resistance of the insulation and protect the pipes from temperature fluctuations and moisture ingress.

4. Industrial Applications: The facing material is utilized in various industrial applications where thermal insulation with heat reflection, moisture resistance, and fire protection is required, such as in manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and clean rooms.
