Foil-kraft-scrim facing FKSE-7151A is a industrial strength foil scrim kraft insulation.The insulation facing with 3-way scrim and 50gsm Kraft as well as heat-activated polyethylene on its back. No need for extra adhesive when using this foil scrim kraft paper.The thicker Kraft provides neat apperance and enhances tensile strength, tear resistant and durability.
The aluminum foil reflects radiant heat, contributing to a more energy-efficient building envelope by reducing heating or cooling demands depending on the season. The kraft paper layer helps prevent moisture from entering the insulation, which can reduce its effectiveness and potentially lead to mold growth. The combination of kraft paper and the 3-way scrim reinforcement offers considerable strength, making the material resistant to tearing and punctures during installation and throughout its service life.
Building Insulation: Used as a facing for fiberglass, mineral wool, and other types of insulation in walls, ceilings, and roofs.
HVAC Ductwork: It is used to wrap and insulate HVAC ductwork to improve thermal efficiency and prevent condensation.
Metal Building Insulation: Used to insulate metal buildings and prevent condensation.
Packaging: Occasionally used in industrial packaging solutions where insulation and moisture control are necessary to protect goods during transport and storage.
