Product Overview: MBI Glasswool Blanket & Glass Wool Roll with White Vinyl Vapor Barrier
MBI glasswool blanket (also known as metal building insulation roll or glass wool roll with white vinyl vapor barrier) represents a flexible, lightweight insulation material composed of fine glass fibers bonded with a thermosetting resin. Specifically, one side of the blanket is laminated with reinforced white vinyl, creating a durable vapor barrier and a bright, clean interior finish. Consequently, this dual-layer structure delivers excellent thermal insulation, sound absorption, and moisture resistance for metal building roofs and walls.
TARCO Industry produces its MBI glasswool blanket from high-quality quartz sand, limestone, dolomite, and recycled glass cullet. During production, we melt these raw materials at high temperatures and fiberize them into fine filaments. Ultimately, the white vinyl facing is bonded to one side, providing a clean, washable surface that enhances light reflectivity inside metal buildings.
Key Features & Benefits of MBI Glasswool Blanket with White Vinyl Vapor Barrier
Furthermore, the white vinyl vapor barrier provides a durable, clean, and washable interior finish for metal buildings. Additionally, low thermal conductivity of 0.032–0.049 W/m·K effectively reduces heat loss and improves energy efficiency in warehouses, factories, and commercial buildings. Moreover, the white vinyl facing acts as an effective vapor retarder, preventing moisture migration and condensation within the building envelope. Consequently, water repellency greater than 98% prevents condensation and mold growth. Therefore, it is easy to cut, wrap, and install on irregular surfaces, reducing labor costs. In addition, it offers anti-corrosion, anti-aging, and resistance to microbial growth for long service life. Furthermore, it is available with low-VOC and formaldehyde-free binders for green building projects.
