Product Overview

What is VMPET + PE Insulation Film?

VMPET + PE insulation film is a composite material consisting of a metalized PET layer coated with polyethylene. The VMPET layer provides high reflectivity to sunlight and thermal radiation, while the PE layer ensures flexibility, durability, and moisture protection.

This unique combination makes the material lightweight, easy to install, and highly effective in thermal insulation applications. It can be laminated with various insulation materials to enhance thermal performance.

Material Composition

VMPET (Vacuum Metallized PET):
- Provides thermal reflection and barrier properties.
- Blocks radiant heat, reducing energy consumption in buildings.
PE (Polyethylene) Coating:
- Adds flexibility, toughness, and moisture resistance.
- Protects the metallized layer from mechanical damage and environmental factors.

Advantages

1. High Thermal Reflection

The metallized PET layer efficiently reflects radiant heat and sunlight, reducing heat absorption in flooring and building structures. It is highly effective in underfloor heating systems, contributing to energy savings and improved thermal comfort.

2. Moisture and Water Resistance

The PE layer prevents moisture penetration, protecting insulation materials from humidity and dampness, which can degrade thermal performance over time.

3. Versatility and Compatibility

VMPET + PE film can be laminated with bubble foams, EPE/XPE foams, and woven fabrics. It enhances the durability and thermal efficiency of insulation systems in floors, walls, and ceilings.

4. Lightweight and Cost-Effective

The film is lightweight, making transportation and installation easy. It reduces the overall weight of the insulation system while maintaining excellent thermal performance.

5. Environmental Friendliness

VMPET + PE is non-toxic, safe, and recyclable, meeting modern construction sustainability standards.

6. Easy Installation

Flexible and durable, the film can be cut to size, overlapped, and sealed to create continuous insulation layers without gaps.
