Faced Duct Wrap Insulation

DESCRIPTION APPLICATION

Technical Data Sheet Faced Duct Wrap Insulation is Faced Duct Wrap Insulation
Product Code: FDW highly efficient, resilient, flexible blanket is intended for use in commercial,
insulation composed of fine, stable and institutional, industrial and residential
uniformly textured inorganic glass fibers construction as thermal and acoustical
bonded together by a non-water soluble insulation of heating, air conditioning
and fire-retardant thermosetting and heat and dual temperature ducts and
resistant resin. It is free from coarse fibers air handling equipment. The use of
and shot due to its mineral composition. AFICO Faced Duct Wrap helps prevent
condensation when properly applied to
FACING air-condition ductwork.

Faced Duct Wrap Insulation The semi-rigid duct wrap with densities
is manufactured in a roll form and from 24 to 56 kg/m3, (1.5 - 3.5 lb/ft3)
subsequently faced on one side by factory are flexible insulation rolls for application
laminators, with a suitable vapor retardant over irregularly-shaped surfaces where
Aluminium Foil Reinforced Kraft Paper rigidity properties are desired.
Laminate (FRK), All Service Jacket (ASJ) or
other specific vapor barrier for installation
on the exterior of ductwork. The facings
have UL fire resistant ratings.
