AFICO Glasswool Blanket Unfaced

AFICO Glasswool Blanket Unfaced is a lightweight, flexible insulation blanket manufactured from fine, stable, and uniformly textured inorganic glass fibers bonded together with a fire-retardant thermosetting resin. It provides reliable thermal and acoustic insulation without any facing layer, making it suitable for applications where a vapor barrier is not required or where the insulation will be covered by another finishing system. Easy to handle, resilient, and adaptable to different surfaces, it is designed for residential, commercial, institutional, agricultural, and industrial insulation applications.

Technical Characteristics

  • Product Type: AFICO Blanket Insulation BKT
  • Density: 12 Kg/m³
  • Facing: Unfaced
  • Thermal Conductivity: 0.040 W/mK at 24°C
  • Standard Width: 1.2 m
  • Standard Length: 18 m
  • Available Thickness: 25 mm Ask for other thicknesses
  • Temperature Range: -4°C to 232°C

Applications

  • Hot Water Tanks: Helps reduce heat loss from storage tanks when installed with a suitable external protective covering or jacket.
  • HVAC Ducting: Provides thermal insulation and sound absorption for air conditioning and ventilation duct systems, where an additional vapor barrier or external facing may be applied if required.
  • Walls and Partitions: Suitable for interior walls, partitions, and cavity wall applications to improve thermal comfort and acoustic performance.
  • Ceilings and Roof Areas: Can be laid above suspended ceilings or used in roof areas to reduce heat transfer and improve energy efficiency.
  • Prefabricated Buildings: Ideal for prefabricated houses and lightweight construction systems requiring flexible insulation.
  • Agricultural and Industrial Buildings: Suitable for poultry farms, warehouses, workshops, and general industrial insulation applications.
  • Irregular Surfaces: Its flexible blanket form allows easy installation over uneven or irregularly shaped surfaces.

Key Benefits

  • Excellent thermal insulation performance
  • Good acoustic absorption properties
  • Lightweight, flexible, and easy to install
  • Suitable where no factory-applied facing is required
  • Base glass fiber is non-combustible
  • Does not sustain mold, fungus, bacteria, or rodents
  • Chemically inert and non-corrosive to steel, stainless steel, copper, and aluminum
  • Maintains its thermal properties throughout the lifetime of the construction

Sustainability

AFICO Glasswool Blanket Unfaced supports energy conservation by reducing heat transfer and improving building efficiency. It is made with recycled materials, is environmentally friendly, and helps reduce energy consumption in buildings and mechanical insulation applications. The product is dimensionally stable, long-lasting, and designed to maintain its insulation performance without aging.
