BLANKET INSULATIONS
Description
AFICO Blanket Insulation is a highly efficient, light weight, strong, resilient and easy to handle flexible blanket insulation composed of fine, stable and uniformly textured inorganic glass fibers bonded together by a non-water soluble and fire retardant thermosetting and heat resistant resin. It is free from coarse fiber and shot due to its mineral composition.
Facing:
AFICO Blanket Insulation is available faced, unfaced or laminated with factory-applied Kraft Paper, or Aluminum Foil Reinforced Kraft Paper Laminate (FRK), the White All Service Jacket (ASJ) and the Aluminum Foil Woven Fiberglass Jacket (AWF) to give a pleasing appearance vapor barrier. The facings have UL fire.
Applications:
AFICO Blanket Insulation is intended for use in commercial, institutional, industrial, agricultural and residential construction as thermal and acoustical.
Specification Compliance:
AFICO Blanket Insulation complies with the standard specification requirements of the following specifications:
DCL: ASTM C665, Type I, Type II and Type III with different Classes and Categories: ASTM C553 Type I, Type II and Type III.
CE-EN: EN 13162-T1-1121-CPD-BA0137.
UL 723: Classified as FHC 25/50 File no R27731 SCS: Recycled Content Certified SCS-MC-02810
ASTM C795: Thermal Insulation for use in contact with Austenitic Stainless Steel tested SASO:
SASO GSO EN 13162.
Thermal Transmittance “U” Value (ASTM C168)
“U” is a measure of how much heat is lost through a given thickness of a particular material. (“U” = W/m²•°C or Btu/hr•ft²•°F)
U = 1 Where “Rt”= Total Thermal Resistance Rt Composed of all elements/layers
U-Values are calculated from the thermal resistances of the parts making up a particular part of the structure. Transmission of heat is opposed in varying amounts dependent on material and surface.
U-Value (of building element) = 1 / (Rso + Rsi R1+Rs.)
Where Rso is the fixed external resistance. Rsi is the fixed internal resistance R1, R2 etc are resistivity of all elements within the application including that of cavities within the construction.
Thermal Resistance 'R' Value (ASTM C518):
“R” is a measure of the resistance to heat flow of a material of any given thickness.
(“R” = m²•°K/W or hr•ft²•°F/Btu)
R = T Where “T”= Thickness K Where “K” or “λ “ = Thermal Conductivity

Class ‘0’ fire rating to the building regulations sections E15
Facing Information (Flexible Vapor Barrier):
ASTM C 1136 Standard specification for Flexible, Low Permeance Vapor Retarders for Thermal Insulation.
Vapor Permeability (ASTM E96A):
Kraft: 1.0 perms
FRK: 0.02 perms
ASJ: 0.02 perms
AWF: 0.0012 perms
Puncture Resistance:
Kraft: 25 beach units
FRK: 25 beach units
ASJ: 85 beach units
AWF: 1170 beach unit
Working Temperature Limitations (ASTM C411):
Operating temperature -4°C to 232°C. At excessive temperatures, limited migration of binder may occur in the insulation in contact with the surface. This is in no way impairs the performance of the insulation.
Standard Available Products:
Nominal Manufacturing Specifications. With K and R values @ 24°C. Check for availability of other dimensions and densities.
When Applied to Masonry Walls:
The insulation can be fixed by impaling on pins or other similar attachments and then affixing a locking washer to hold the insulation in place.
For Ceiling Installations:
The insulation is simply laid out on top of ceiling panels or other suspension systems.
