Product Overview: Kraft Paper Faced Glasswool Blanket & Glass Wool Roll
Kraft paper faced glasswool blanket (also known as kraft faced glass wool roll or vapor retarder insulation roll) 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 asphalt-coated kraft paper, creating an effective vapor retarder. Consequently, this dual-layer structure delivers excellent thermal insulation, sound absorption, and moisture control.
TARCO Industry produces its kraft paper faced 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 kraft paper facing is bonded to one side, providing a vapor retarder that helps control moisture migration within wall and floor assemblies.
Key Features & Benefits of Kraft Paper Faced Glasswool Blanket
Furthermore, the kraft paper facing provides an effective vapor retarder that helps control moisture migration. Additionally, low thermal conductivity of 0.038–0.045 W/m·K effectively reduces heat loss and improves energy efficiency in buildings. Moreover, the kraft paper facing includes stapling flanges for quick and secure installation. 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.
