Introducing rFOIL™ MAX-NT (No-Tear) Reflective Bubble Insulation
January 22, 2024
TORONTO, ON. – Responding to growing market demand for a for a bubble insulation product designed with improved strength to stay securely in place when stapled to wood purlins or framing, Covertech, a division of Balcan Innovations Inc., has launched the first reflective bubble insulation made with a reinforcing scrim mesh. rFOIL™ MAX-NT (No-Tear) Reflective Metal Building Insulation is an exciting new addition to the company’s product offering.
Combining the thermal performance of metalized film, the condensation-controlling properties of bubble, and a strong layer of woven scrim, rFOIL™ MAX-NT is a great alternative to lightweight foam / scrim products. The reinforcing woven layer helps prevent wind-uplift when the material is stapled in place.
“One of our goals at Covertech is to provide our customers with high-quality insulation solutions that are innovative and functional” said Kelly Myers, National Sales Manager at Covertech. “The launch of rFOIL™ MAX-NT is another example of our commitment to meeting the needs of the construction industry, enabling builders to achieve superior performance with our products, and supporting our distribution partners.”
rFOIL™ MAX-NT delivers the thermal value by using a highly reflective metalized film which dramatically reduces heat gain / loss by blocking radiating heat from entering or escaping through the building system. This saves energy, reduces utility bills, and enhances the life of heating and cooling equipment.
Additionally, rFOIL™ MAX-NT helps prevents condensation by providing an airtight thermal break of high-strength bubble between the exterior metal and interior airspace. The reinforcing woven scrim layer adds tear-resistance and tensile strength. rFOIL™ MAX-NT is not affected by moisture and humidity, will not harbor mold and fungi, will not degrade over time, and is safe and clean to handle which makes it easy to install.
rFOIL™ MAX-NT is available in 48” and 72” widths, with various tab options including QuickSeam (tape / tab), and is available with either a white interior facing, or metalized film on both sides.
About the Manufacturer: Covertech, a division of Balcan Innovations, is North America’s leading manufacturer of reflective insulation products. rFoil™ Reflective Insulation is used for a wide range of applications where advanced thermal control is needed, including metal and post-frame buildings, agricultural construction, self-storage, residential and commercial, thermal packaging, automotive, OEM, pharmaceutical and RF shielding applications.
