SK Chemicals SARAN™ 560-CX Vapor Retarder Film (discontinued **)
Categories:	Polymer; Adhesive; Film
Material Notes:	SARAN™ 560-CX Vapor Retarder Film is composed of a film of the barrier polymer polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC) coextruded with other specialty polymers that provide strength and support. Working together, the portions of this coextruded film combine to create a vapor retarder and jacketing material for mechanical insulation systems that is durable, flexible and has excellent resistance to water vapor penetration. Designed specifically for high vapor drive applications, SARAN 560-CX Film helps prevent water absorption and strongly resists moisture vapor drive into the insulation. A permeance rating of 0.01 perms meets or exceeds the strictest industry requirements for vapor retarders in cold service. SARAN 560-CX Vapor Retarder Film is not a known nutrient source for mold or mildew. Applications: SARAN 560-CX Vapor Retarder Film is a high-performance, cost effective vapor retarder used in many pipe insulation applications. Typical applications for SARAN 560 CX Film include: Food and beverage facilities Chilled water piping and HVAC systems Transport pipelines Chemical condensation tanks Cold storage systems Refrigerated transport Pharmaceutical plants Petrochemical plants Cryogenic systems, including liquefied natural gas (LNG) SK Global Chemical has purchased the SARAN® resin business from Dow.
