Foil Vapor Barrier is a fire resistant grade facing ,mainly used as a facing & vapor barrier for glasswool / rockwool / foam duct wrap insulation.
Foil vapor barrier R716A is a fire resistant grade insulation facing with 3-way scrim and 60gsm kraft. Foil-Scrim-Kraft Vapor Barrier is laminated 5 layers of structure, the outer layer is aluminum foil and kraft paper. The middle layer is the hlass fiber layer double side coated with adhesive, it increased tensile strength of FSK, and the aluminum foil and kraft paper are firmly bonded.
Foil vapor barrier as a laminated insulation facing protects insulation materials as like as a jacket. It mainly used as a facing & vapor barrier for glasswool / rockwool / foam duct wrap insulation, also a good choice for radiant barrier applications because of its low emissivity. Foil vapor barrier is most commonly used to exposed surfaces of Duct wrap, HVAC Ductwork, Exterior wall insulation, Metal building insulation, Pipeline insulation, Hot water tank insulation.
FSK: Foil-scrim-kraft, Scrim=Yarn
