Foil scrim kraft facing consists of 18u foil and 2-way scrim (5x5mm spacing) with heat-activated polyethylene on its back. Good corrosion-resistance and abrasive-resistance. Foil scrim kraft facing is suitable for in-line lamination with insulation facing materials by heating. No need for extra adhesive when using this foil scrim kraft paper.Foil scrim kraft facing is widely used in construction, water-proofing, reinforcing and coating applications.
Foil-Scrim-Kraft facing is commonly used in HVAC duct insulation to enhance thermal performance and protect the insulation from moisture and external elements.
It is also used in commercial and residential construction for insulating walls, roofs, and floors where thermal insulation and vapor control are required.
Foil-Scrim-Kraft is suitable for both new construction and retrofit projects where improving energy efficiency and indoor comfort are priorities.
