Insulation Facing Description

 

This aluminium foil laminated glass cloth is engineered with a laminated composite structure consisting of 18μ aluminum foil, 8×8 mesh/cm glass cloth, and a heat-activated PE backing. The aluminum foil layer provides outstanding radiant heat reflection, moisture barrier properties, and corrosion resistance. The fiberglass glass cloth layer reinforces the facing, offering excellent tensile strength, puncture resistance, and stability under high temperatures.

Unlike standard aluminum foil facing, this upgraded glass cloth-reinforced version delivers enhanced fire performance, mechanical durability, and long-term reliability. Its heat-seal backing allows fast, secure bonding to insulation materials without additional adhesive, reducing installation time and labor costs.

Custom options are available, including heavier-weight glass cloth, special weave patterns, and tailor-made thicknesses to meet project-specific requirements.

Features & Benefits:

  • High Thermal Reflectivity: The aluminum foil surface reflects radiant heat, improving insulation efficiency and reducing energy loss in HVAC and industrial systems.
  • Enhanced Strength & Durability: Reinforced with fiberglass glass cloth, this material resists tearing, punctures, stretching, and high-temperature degradation.
  • Moisture & Vapor Barrier: Excellent resistance to moisture, condensation, and gas penetration—ideal for humid or climate-controlled environments.
  • Fire-Resistant Performance: The fiberglass layer provides strong fire resistance, improving safety in commercial, industrial, and residential installations.
  • Easy and Cost-Effective Installation: Heat-activated polyethylene backing allows direct bonding to insulation surfaces without glue, reducing labor and material costs.
  • Corrosion & Chemical Resistance: Suitable for long-term use in harsh environments, chemical plants, and coastal or humid regions.
