NAIMA 202-96 insulation must have additional tensile strength and greater thickness recovery after compression. When a vapor retarder facing is applied to the blanket, the insulation is compressed and tightly wound in rolls for shipment or storage. It takes a special manufacturing process to give it the structural integrity it needs to recover thickness and withstand the rigors of shipping and installation. This process is used by NAIMA Metal Building Committee members for NAIMA 202-96 insulations to meet these extra requirements.
