ThermofoilTM Medium Duty Facing (730) Data Sheet

Bradford ThermofoilTM Medium Duty

Product Description Facing (730) is a medium weight reflective
foil product consisting of two layers of
aluminium foil and paper laminate, bonded
with flame retardant adhesive, and
reinforced with 13g/m2 fibreglass yarn in a
tri-directional pattern.
The construction of ThermofoilTM Medium
Duty Facing gives the product high
strength and serviceability.

ThermofoilTM Medium Duty Facing

Applications ThermofoilTM Medium Duty Facing acts as Improves light diffusion and
a waterproof membrane and vapour utilisation when used as an
barrier, when installed beneath the primary exposed internal roof lining.
roofing material, it provides a secondary
barrier against moisture, wind, heat and Ideal reflective facing for Glasswool
dust penetration. and FibertexTM Rockwool.

Due to its high reflective properties, the Thermofoil TM Medium Duty is ideal
use of ThermofoilTM Medium Duty Facing for those applications where high
with an associated air space provides tensile strength and impact
thermal insulation in domestic, industrial resistance are required.
and commercial buildings, cold stores and
cool rooms. Due to its extremely low water
vapour transmission rate Thermofoil
Medium Duty Facing is an ideal vapour
barrier for facing bulk insulation and SPI
pipe sections.
