SPECIFICATIONS
Vapor Retarder:
- Perm Rating of 0.02 perms: WMP-50 has a very low perm rating, making it an excellent vapor retarder, effectively limiting moisture diffusion through the insulation.
Reinforced Facing:
- Heavy-Duty Reinforced Facing: WMP-50 features a heavy-duty facing that is more robust than WMP-10 and WMP-30 and offers superior durability.
Composition:
- Polypropylene Scrim Reinforced Kraft (PSK) or Fiberglass Reinforced Aluminum Foil: The facing typically consists of a reinforced layer with polypropylene scrim and kraft paper or aluminum foil, providing high durability and moisture resistance.
Thickness:
- Approximately 0.050 inches: The increased thickness enhances the product's durability and effectiveness as a vapor retarder.
Tensile Strength:
- Extremely High Tensile Strength: The heavy-duty facing and reinforcement provide exceptional tensile strength, making WMP-50 resistant to tears, punctures, and other damage during installation and use.
Fire Resistance:
- Class A/Class 1 Fire Rating: WMP-50 meets stringent fire safety standards, making it suitable for use in environments where fire resistance is critical.
WMP 50 is chosen over WMP 30 for its superior durability, enhanced fire resistance, and better vapor barrier properties. It offers higher tensile strength and is designed for the most demanding environments, providing long-term protection and improved performance in insulation applications.
All insulations have their niche. For instance, opting for WMP-50 over blow-in insulation is wiser when dealing with spaces that require a robust vapor barrier and enhanced durability. WMP-50’s strong moisture resistance and structural integrity are ideal for areas prone to high humidity or potential water exposure, whereas blow-in insulation can be less effective in such conditions.
WMP-50 fiberglass insulation features a vapor retarder with high permeability, allowing for some vapor transmission. It includes a lightweight, reinforced kraft paper facing with a fiberglass scrim and a polyethylene coating. This combination provides adequate tear strength and flexibility, making it suitable for applications requiring both insulation and breathability, such as certain roofing and exterior wall systems. WMP-50 offers a clean, finished look and is ideal for environments with less critical moisture control.
Why do people choose WMP-50 over blow-in insulation?
1. Its superior durability
2. Moisture resistance
3. Ease of installation.
WMP-50 offers a robust vapor retarder and is ideal for metal buildings, whereas blow-in insulation, though adequate for filling cavities, may lack the same level of resistance and durability. All insulation has its niches; however, if durability, moisture resistance
