ARK-W30ILD
Metalized Polyester/Scrim/Kraft – Durable Insulation Facing for Commercial & Industrial Applications
ARK-W30ILD is a durable Metalized Polyester/Scrim/Kraft insulation facing designed to provide a practical combination of thermal stability, moisture control, reinforcement, and durability for commercial and industrial insulation systems. Its multi-layer construction combines a metalized polyester surface, reinforced fiberglass scrim, and kraft backing to create a strong and flexible facing suitable for demanding applications.
The metalized polyester surface provides reflective properties, enhanced temperature resistance, and a clean finished appearance, while the fiberglass scrim adds strength and tear resistance. The kraft backing contributes to moisture-control performance within compatible insulation assemblies.
Flexible and easy to handle, ARK-W30ILD is well suited for metal building insulation, walls, roofs, and other commercial and industrial applications where dependable performance and cost efficiency are important.
