ARK-W30ILD Black
Black Metalized Polyester/Scrim/Kraft Insulation Facing
ARK-W30ILD Black is a durable Metalized Polyester/Scrim/Kraft insulation facing featuring a black-coated metalized polyester surface, reinforced fiberglass scrim, and kraft backing. Designed for commercial and industrial insulation systems, its multi-layer construction provides a combination of thermal stability, durability, moisture control, and mechanical strength.
The black metalized polyester surface provides a clean, uniform appearance while offering reflective properties, high-temperature resistance, and corrosion protection. Its flame-retardant construction is designed to maintain performance under demanding conditions, while the fiberglass scrim provides added tear and tensile strength.
The kraft backing contributes to moisture-control performance within compatible insulation assemblies. Suitable for metal buildings, walls, and roof insulation systems, ARK-W30ILD Black provides a durable and practical facing solution for applications where thermal stability, appearance, and long-term performance are important.

Key Advantages:
- Black Metalized Polyester Surface – Provides a clean black finish along with reflective properties, temperature resistance, and corrosion protection.
- Designed for Demanding Temperatures – Provides reliable facing performance across a broad range of high- and low-temperature conditions.
- Flame-Retardant Construction – Designed to provide long-lasting flame-retardant performance, subject to applicable testing and installation requirements.
- Reinforced for Strength – Fiberglass scrim provides added tear and tensile strength during handling and installation.
- Moisture Control – Kraft backing contributes to moisture-control performance in suitable insulation assemblies.
- Durable Multi-Layer Construction – Combines metalized polyester, fiberglass scrim, and kraft for a balanced insulation-facing solution.
- Versatile Applications – Suitable for metal buildings, walls, roofs, and other commercial and industrial insulation systems.
