ARK-W50
Polypropylene/Scrim/Kraft/Metalized Polyester – Heavy-Duty Insulation Facing
ARK-W50 is a heavy-duty multi-layer insulation facing designed for metal building and other demanding insulation applications where high strength, durability, and resistance to jobsite abuse are important. Its Polypropylene/Scrim/Kraft/Metalized Polyester construction combines reinforced fiberglass scrim with a durable metalized polyester surface to provide a strong and resilient facing solution.
The metalized polyester layer provides reflective properties that help manage radiant heat transfer when properly installed with the required conditions, while also contributing to vapor-control performance. Reinforced fiberglass scrim provides high tear and tensile resistance, and the kraft layer contributes moisture-control performance within compatible insulation assemblies.
Designed for demanding wall and roof insulation applications, ARK-W50 provides a durable solution for metal buildings and other commercial and industrial environments where insulation facings must withstand handling and installation demands.
Key Advantages:
- Heavy-Duty Construction – Designed for high strength, durability, and resistance to jobsite abuse.
