Laminated Insulation Facings

• Thermal Protection: Laminated insulation facings help reduce radiant heat gain, which can lower cooling costs by 5% to 10%, especially in warm, sunny climates. This thermal protection plays an important role in optimizing energy efficiency in buildings and industrial systems.
• Vapor Barrier: Insulation facings, such as foil faced insulation, act as effective vapor barriers. They prevent condensation from forming on duct surfaces or the insulation itself by minimizing vapor drive between the insulation and the surrounding air. This helps avoid moisture-related issues that can damage both the insulation and the structure.
• Flame Retardant: Kraft insulation and foil-faced insulation materials are often designed with flame-resistant properties, ensuring that they comply with fire safety regulations. The flame-retardant coatings on materials like aluminum foil and fiberglass scrim provide an added layer of protection.

4 Types of Laminated Insulation Facings:

Our comprehensive selection of insulation facing products includes specialized options like foil faced insulation and kraft faced insulation, each designed for specific performance requirements:

• FSK (Foil-scrim-kraft) Facing: This foil faced insulation features a 5-layer laminate structure with an outer layer of aluminum foil and kraft paper. The middle layer is a double-sided glass fiber coated with flame-retardant adhesive, enhancing tensile strength and ensuring a firm bond between the aluminum foil and kraft paper. FSK facing is most commonly used for exposed surfaces of duct wrap, HVAC ductwork, exterior wall insulation, and metal building insulation.
• PSK (PP-scrim-kraft) Facing: PSK insulation facing is a 5-layer laminate where the outer layers are polypropylene film and kraft paper. Similar to FSK, it includes a glass fiber layer with flame-retardant adhesive, which increases tensile strength and securely bonds the kraft paper and PP film. This kraft faced insulation is specifically designed to provide moisture resistance, strength, durability, thermal performance, and fire resistance in HVAC insulation applications.
• ASJ (All Service Jacket) Facing: ASJ insulation facing is another 5-layer laminate, featuring an outer layer of aluminum foil and white kraft paper. It incorporates a glass fiber layer with double-sided flame-retardant adhesive to boost tensile strength and ensure a strong bond between the aluminum foil and white kraft paper. This foil faced insulation is engineered for moisture resistance, thermal performance, strength, durability, fire resistance, and ease of installation in HVAC and mechanical insulation systems.
• D/S Reflective Aluminum Foil Insulation: This double-sided reflective aluminum foil faced insulation material is laminated using two layers of pure aluminum foil, one layer of kraft paper, and a fiberglass scrim reinforcement. It uses PE adhesive or flame-retardant adhesive as the bonding agent. This type of laminated insulation facing is commonly used as facing and insulation under roofs, in walls behind cladding or under timber floors, for both residential and commercial buildings.
