CLASSIFICATION
OF REFLECTIVE INSULATION CONSISTING OF TWO LAYERS OF ALUMINIUM FOIL LAMINATED
TO BOTH SIDES OF A POLYETHYLENE AIR BUBBLE WRAP
Reflective
insulation consisting of two layers of aluminium foil (thickness 5 ?m) laminated to
both sides of a polyethylene air bubble wrap (thickness 3.1 mm). The product is
presented in rolls measuring (L x W) 38.1 m x 1.22 m. The weight percentage per
m2 of the two layers of aluminium foil and polyethylene air bubble
wrap is 16 % and 84 % respectively. The product is intended to be cut according
to the user’s needs after import and is designed to be installed on the inside
of a wall, ceiling or floor of a building to keep temperature, insulating
radiant heat from outside or inside. The laminated aluminium foil reflects
radiant heat (reflectance: 97 %) in both directions and the polyethylene bubble
wrap trapped air spaces between the foil surfaces insulate against conduction
of heat.
