Product Overview: Black Glasswool Blanket with Black Tissue Facing
Black glasswool blanket with black tissue (also known as black tissue faced glass wool roll or BGT faced insulation) 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 black non-woven glass tissue (BGT), creating an acoustically permeable facing that provides a premium dark finish. Consequently, this dual-layer structure delivers excellent thermal insulation, sound absorption, and a clean, professional appearance for exposed installations.
TARCO Industry produces its black 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 black glass tissue facing is bonded to one side, providing a smooth, acoustically transparent surface that enhances sound absorption while limiting air resistance in HVAC applications[reference:0][reference:1].
Key Features & Benefits of Black Glasswool Blanket with Black Tissue
Furthermore, the black glass tissue facing provides a premium dark finish that is ideal for exposed applications where appearance matters. Additionally, low thermal conductivity of 0.032–0.049 W/m·K effectively reduces heat loss and improves energy efficiency in HVAC systems and buildings. Moreover, the BGT facing is acoustically permeable, allowing sound waves to penetrate and be absorbed by the glass wool fibers, achieving a sound absorption coefficient of up to 0.8–1.03. 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, the black tissue facing provides a smooth surface that limits air resistance while optimizing free duct area[reference:2].
