Vapor Retardant. TempShield™ Double Bubble White/Foil is two layers of 3/16" barrier bubble film laminated Key Benefits Clean, Lightweight, Easy To Install Class A / Class 1 Fire Rating Thermal R-Values Included (see chart below) Saves Energy and Money Typical Thermal Values for TempShield™ Double Bubble Reflective Insulation Double Bubble Up Down Horizontal R-Value 8.6 15.4 10.0 U-Value 0.172 0.070 0.133 Thermal resistance measurements have been made according to the most recent test revisions using a calibrated hot box operated in accordance with ASTM C 976. Analysis of results was done in accordance in ASTM C 1224. The R-values observed are highly dependent on method of installation. How Radiant Heat Transfers Through Roofs TempShield™ is used as insulation against radiant heat transfer and can be used to its greatest advantage in instances where radiation is the predominant means of heat transfer. It is the bright aluminum surface of all TempShield™ products that gives it its insulating properties. This happens in two ways: TempShield™ is an excellent reflector of all long wave radiant heat that strikes it - reflecting up to 97% of all radiant heat. TempShield™ will reradiate only 3% of heat in which it comes in close physical contact, compared with the approximate 90% reradiation of ordinary building materials, at the same temperature.
