PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

FLAMESTOP® 118 is a 6-layer fire retardant double-sided aluminum foil laminate with a superior radiant heat barrier reflective property for roofing insulation and an effective vapour barrier for air-conditioning ductwork.

FLAMESTOP® 118 is produced by extruding 2 layers of co-polymer resins as bonding agent onto 1 layer

Of high strength Kraft paper and heat-welding 2layers of aluminum foil and 1 layer of reinforcing 3-way fiberglass scrim into a perfect seal.

FLAMESTOP® 118 has high scuff resistance on both sides of the product and high puncture and tensile

Strength in all directions. It has very low watervapour permeance and due to its water resistance,

It prevents damage from minor roof leaks.

HIGH R-VALUE*

FLAMESTOP® 118 can reduce heat flow downwards when properly installed and designed on the basis for a total roof system.

APPLICATION

FLAMESTOP® 118 is designed for use as a thermal barrier against radiant heat for roof and wall Insulation in the building industry, especially in countries having tropical climate and high relative

Humidity.

FLAMESTOP® 118 is also recommended as a vapourbarrier for air-conditioning ductwork, computer

flooring, ceilings and pipe jacketing where moisturecontrol is required.

ROLL SIZE:

1.25m wide x 60m length = 75m2

1.25m wide x 30m length = 37.5m2
