SUPERIOR FACTORY TYPE 2
ALUMINUM REFLECTIVE INSULATION

THERMAL PERFORMANCE
DATA 2 X 6:

Values shown are from ASTM C-236 guarded hot box test performed by a NVLAP accredited and State of California approved laboratory, and test data from ASHRAE fundamentals handbook. All R values for heat flow include 1.32 R for still air, and all R values for heat flow down includes 4.55 R still air.

MATERIAL
Superior Factory Type 2 aluminum reflective insulation is composed of 100LB. Kraft paper faced on both sides with aluminum foil. During the lamination process a heavy application of flame retardant adhesive is applied to both sides of the Kraft paper to make it flame resistant and achieve a low flame spread.

Superior Factory Type 2 is available with white on exposed facing.
Superior Factory Type 2 aluminum reflective insulation also has the following advantages:

• Low in cost
• Covers all roof rafters to give a simi-finished ceiling that never needs paint.
• Increases light reflectivity, thereby decreasing the amount of light needed.
• Is especially beneficial in an exposed rafter application in industrial and commercial
  buildings. When installed exposed below unfaced mineral fiber blanket insulation
  or multiple layer aluminum insulation , additional insulation value is achieved
  (see ASHREA guide for reflective insulation values). When tested for vapor trans-
  mission as per ASTM E 96 procedure B, the following results were achieved:
  WVT=).22 gm/M2.24 hr. performance = 0.22 perms, which meets CEC and
  UBC regulations.

RECOMMENDED METHOD OF SPECIFYING
Superior Factory Type2 aluminum insulation shall be installed only by qualified mechanics.

INSTALLATION
Face staple Superior Factory Type 2 to bottom of rafters, staples to be approximately 6" o.c. Material shall be installed as a single sheet the full length of the rafters and turned down approximately 1½" at ends where possible, and stapled to both the perlin or main rafter support. Ends shall be neatly trimmed.

WARNING
Do not install insulation under a roof that is not dry. Insulating a wet roof may cause condensation and damage to insulation and roof deck.

NOTE
When tested by the ASTM E 84 Flame Spread Test the following results were achieved:
                         Flame Spread  5           Smoke Developed 15

SUPERIOR TYPE 4
FLAME RETARDANT
ALUMINUM REFLECTIVE INSULATION

THERMAL PERFORMANCE
DATA 2"x 6":

Values shown are from ASTM C-236 guarded hot box test performed by a NVLAP accredited and State of California approved laboratory, and test data from ASHRAE fundamentals handbook. All R values for heat flow include 1.32 R for still air, and all R values for heat flow down includes 4.55 R still air.

MATERIAL
Superior type 4 flame retardant aluminum insulation is a three layer product, composed or two sheets of flame resistant Kraft paper, each faced on one side with aluminum foil, and one of aluminum foil without paper backing.

A higher insulation value and a more pleasing appearance will be achieved by adding Superior Factory Type 2 flame retardant cap sheet face stapled to the bottom of the rafters.

INSTALLATION
Grasp blanket by flange with printed side down, position blanket flush against perlin/plate at end of bay, leave gap ¾" to 1" between bottom of flange and face of rafter/truss (when installed between 2"x 4" roof rafters install ½ from face of rafter), begin stapling material approx. 6" o.c. for full length of blanket. Hand held stapler is suggested with a minimum of
3/8" staple.
Grasp free flange and pull it taut towards the rafter/truss on right. Line bottom of flange up even with bottom of facing of rafter/truss. Be sure material is pulled over evenly to prevent cross buckles and wrinkles. Finish by stapling full length approx. 6" o.c.

WARNING
Do not insulate under a wet deck. Insulating under a wet roof may cause condensation and damage the insulation.

NOTE
All Superior Aluminum Insulation products incorporate the use or a special flame resistant paper manufactured to meet the National Bureau of Standards Voluntary Standard PS 46-71 for flame resistant paper.  We use a water base non-flammable adhesive to bond the aluminum to the flame resistant paper.
When tested by the ASTM E-84 flame spread test, all Superior products have achieved a flame spread of 25 or less.
