Laminated Insulation Facings

• Thermal Protection: The laminated insulation facing and reflective insulation systems work by reducing radiant heat gain. Some studies show that insulation facing can reduce cooling costs 5% to 10% when used in a warm, sunny climate.
• Vapor Barrier: Insulation with Foil Facing materials are used to minimize vapor drive between the ambient air outside the insulation and the surface of the duct, subsequently preventing condensation from forming on the surface of the duct or the surface of the insulation.
• Flame Retardant: The laminated insulation facing are designed to be flame-retardant, using materials like aluminum foil and fiberglass reinforcement. This helps the insulation meet fire safety requirements.

4 Types of Laminated Insulation Facings:

• FSK (Foil-scrim-kraft) Facing Foil-scrim-kraft is laminated 5 layers of structure, the outer layer is Aluminum foil and Kraft paper. The middle layer is the Glass fiber layer double side coated with Flame-retardant adhesive, it increased tensile strength of FSK, and the Aluminum foil and Kraft paper are firmly bonded. It is most commonly used to exposed surfaces of Duct wrap, HVAC Ductwork, Exterior wall insulation, Metal building insulation.
• PSK (PP-scrim-kraft) Facing PSK Insulation Facing is laminated 5 layers of structure, the outer layer is Polypropylene film and Kraft paper. The middle layer is the Glass fiber layer double side coated with Flame-retardant adhesive, it increased tensile strength of FSK, and the Kraft paper and PP film are firmly bonded. It is used to provide moisture resistance, strength, durability, thermal performance, and fire resistance in HVAC insulation applications.
• ASJ (All Service Jacket) Facing ASJ Insulation Facing is laminated 5 layers of structure, the outer layer is Aluminum foil and White Kraft paper. The middle layer is the Glass fiber layer double side coated with Flame-retardant adhesive, it increased tensile strength of ASJ, and the Aluminum foil and White kraft paper are firmly bonded. It is designed to provide moisture resistance, thermal performance, strength, durability, fire resistance, and ease of installation in HVAC and mechanical insulation systems.
• D/S Reflective Aluminum Foil Insulation Double side reflective aluminum foil insulation facing material is laminated using 2 pure Aluminum foil and 1 layer of Kraft paper as well as 1 layer of fiberglass scrim reinforcement. PE adhesive or flame retardant adhesive is adopted as the bonding agent. They common used as facing and insulation under roofs, in walls behind cladding or under timber floors, for residential and commercial building.
