Foil-Scrim-Kraft Vapor Barrier

Features & Benefits:

• High-Reflectivity: The aluminum foil layer effectively reduces heat transfer by reflecting radiant heat, which improves energy efficiency in HVAC systems and building insulation.
• Excellent Moisture Barrier: The foil vapor barrier prevents moisture from passing through, controlling vapor movement and protecting the insulation from damage.
• Enhanced Durability: The scrim layer provides tensile strength and resistance to damage from punctures and tears, making the barrier more robust and long-lasting.
• Fire Resistant: Designed to meet fire-resistant standards, ensuring safety in critical environments.
• Versatile Application: Ideal for use in HVAC ductwork, building insulation, and metal buildings.

Specifications:

• Material Composition: Aluminum foil, fiberglass scrim, and kraft paper
• Thickness: Varies based on application and specific product
• Scrim Type: 3-Way Fiberglass Scrim
• Kraft Paper Weight: 60gsm

Applications:

• HVAC Ductwork: Used to wrap ducts to prevent condensation on the outside, enhancing the efficiency of the HVAC system.
• Building Insulation: Used as a facing for fiberglass, mineral wool, and other insulation materials in walls, ceilings, and roofs to control moisture and heat transfer within the building.
• Metal Building Insulation: Prevents condensation on metal surfaces and improves energy efficiency by reducing heat transfer.

FAQ:

Q1: What is the purpose of a Foil-Scrim-Kraft Vapor Barrier?
A: The FSK vapor barrier prevents moisture from passing through the insulation, protects against heat loss, and helps maintain indoor temperature stability. It is especially beneficial in HVAC and construction applications.

Q2: Can the FSK-R716A be used in high-temperature environments?
A: Yes, the FSK vapor barrier is designed to withstand temperatures commonly encountered in HVAC systems and building applications without degradation.

Q3: Does FSK Facing provide insulation?
A: While the aluminum foil layer reflects radiant heat, the FSK Vapor Barrier itself is a facing material, not the primary insulation. Its main job is to protect the underlying bulk insulation and prevent moisture buildup, thereby helping the insulation material maintain its intended R-value.

Q4: How do I install the Foil-Scrim-Kraft Vapor Barrier?
A: The FSK vapor barrier is typically installed by wrapping it around ducts, or adhering it to the surface of walls, roofs, and floors. It is easy to handle, cut, and install with basic tools.
