Insulation Facing Description

 

FKSE-7161A Non-Adhesive FSK facing insulation is an improved commercial grade heat-sealing foil-kraft-scrim insulation facing with a 3-way scrim and 60gsm kraft as well as heat-activated polyethylene on its backing. There is no need for extra adhesive when using this foil scrim kraft paper, and and conforms well across curves and irregular surfaces. The thicker Kraft provides a neat appearance and enhances tensile strength, tear resistance and durability. It is easy to handle and install on site without special tools or application methods.

FSK Facing Functions:

Moisture Barrier: The FSK facing acts as a moisture barrier, preventing water vapor from penetrating the insulation material and protecting it from damage caused by moisture.

Radiant Heat Reflection: The aluminum foil layer reflects radiant heat, helping to maintain thermal efficiency and temperature control in HVAC systems and insulation applications.

Vapor Retarder: The kraft paper layer acts as a vapor retarder, reducing the transmission of water vapor through the insulation and maintaining indoor air quality.

FSK Facing Applications:

HVAC Ductwork: Used to wrap and insulate ductwork, preventing condensation and improving energy efficiency.

Building Insulation: Used as a facing for fiberglass, mineral wool, and other types of insulation in walls, ceilings, and roofs.

Metal Building Insulation: Used to insulate metal buildings and prevent condensation.
