IBS Limited - Manufacturing and fabricating industrial insulation materials and buoyancy structures.

Melinex

Melinex is available as a factory applied system.  A dimensionally stable polyester film with high tensile strength.  Melinex offers good resistance to tearing, temperature, and attack by most common chemicals and solvents, without greatly restricting the acoustic performance of the material which it encloses.

Used in facing of mineral fibre and foam insulations for a variety of reasons, e.g. Acoustic insulation above perforated and slotted ceiling, sound absorption in the air conditioning systems, various thermal insulation applications etc.  Particularly good when a high degree of resistance to chemicals and/or solvents is required.

Benefits Include;

  • To Highly resistant to many chemicals, solvents, fire and water vapour;
  • Acoustically permeable;
  • Excellent containment medium for glass and mineral fibres;
  • Resilient to tearing;
  • No special adhesives required.
