ARK-W40
Polyester/Scrim/Metallized Polyester – High-Performance Insulation Facing
ARK-W40 is a high-performance insulation facing designed for industrial and commercial applications where thermal stability, moisture control, durability, and fire performance are important. Its multi-layer construction combines a durable polyester film, reinforced fiberglass scrim, and metallized polyester backing to provide a strong, dimensionally stable facing for demanding insulation systems.
The metallized polyester surface provides reflective properties and helps limit moisture transmission, while the fiberglass scrim adds strength and resistance to tearing and puncture during handling and installation. Designed for demanding environments, ARK-W40 provides reliable performance across a range of insulation applications, including industrial and commercial walls, roofs, and HVAC systems.
