SPECIAL RECOMMENDATIONS

·          Normal use is for external sheet on multilayer insulation (MLI). Suitable venting must be provided, where applicable.

·          This product is also available in 7.6, 12.6, 51.76 and 125 mm thicknesses.

·          The 7.6 and 12.6 mm grades are available in widths up to 1270 mm; 25 to 125 mm grades in widths up to 1524 mm.

·          The full Dunmore part number must be designated for precise material description.

·          Perforated or embossed versions of the above-mentioned films are available. Patterns are to be specified at the time of ordering (film thickness may determine selection).

·          These products can also be aluminised on both sides, if desired.

·          Solar absorptance value is measured on the aluminised surface.
