TEDLAR® COATED
METAL JACKETING
DESCRIPTION
ITW Pabco/Childers Tedlar®* Coated Metal Jacketing has a
factory applied Tedlar®* PVF (Polyvinyl Fluoride) film on
the exterior surface. This film is used as a long-lasting finish
for surfaces exposed to harsh environments. The
Tedlar®*provides corrosion protection to the metal jacketing
used on pipes, tanks, and equipment insulation systems.
ITW Tedlar®* Coated Metal Jacketing offers a premium
protection of external surface jacketing used for mechanical
insulation systems. It protects the insulation jacketing from
UV exposure, corrosive atmospheres, fading, cracking and
corrosion due to moisture deposits on jacketing.
ITW Tedlar®* Coated Metal Jacketing (also called cladding)
is available in smooth, stucco embossed, and 3/16” corrugated
(cross-crimped) finishes for lighter thicknesses. For larger
diameter or flat surfaces, deep corrugated sheets are available.
ITW Tedlar®* Coated Metal Jacketing comes standard with
a 3-mil thick polysurlyn moisture barrier (PSMB) heat-
laminated to the interior surface to help prevent corrosion of
the jacketing and the underlying metal pipe, tank, or
equipment.
COLORS
Standard color for ITW Tedlar®* Coated Metal Jacketing is
gray. Additional colors may be available if specified by
purchaser at time of order placement, but this may affect
minimum quantity, lead-time, and price.
COMPOSITION
ITW Insulation Systems carefully screens all potential Metal
suppliers to assure our products have the highest quality, are
corrosion resistant, and comply with all relevant standards.
ITW Tedlar®* Coated Metal Jacketing is typically
manufactured using Aluminum or Stainless Steel per the
following table. A specific alloy or an alternative alloy can be
specified by purchaser at time of order placement, but this
may affect minimum quantity, lead-time, and price.

EMITTANCE OF TEDLAR®
ITW Tedlar®* Coated Metal Jacketing has a surface
emittance as measured by ASTM C1371 of minimum 0.85
RECOMMENDED USES
ITW Tedlar®* Coated Metal Jacketing is recommended for
use in all of the following insulation system applications:
• Where additional resistance to corrosion from the
external environment is required such as marine
applications
• Rooftop cold pipe where an upgrade in corrosion
resistance and increased emittance are desired.
• Where the particular aesthetic features of ITW Tedlar®*
Coated Metal Jacketing are desired.
SURFACE FINISHES
Each of the three standard surface finishes (smooth, stucco
embossed, and 3/16” corrugated) are available on ITW Tedlar®*
Coated Metal Jacketing. Each of these finishes has applications
where it is recommended. For more information on finishes,
consult the ITW data sheet on Aluminum Roll Jacketing.
POLYSURLYN MOISTURE BARRIER
Polysurlyn Moisture Barrier (PSMB) is an engineered three layer
coextruded film of polyethylene and Surlyn* polymers with a
total film thickness of 3 mils (76 µm) that is heat laminated in
the factory to the interior surface of metal jacketing. ITW
recommends the use of PSMB on all types of metal jacketing to
help prevent pitting, crevice, and galvanic corrosion of the
interior surface of the metal jacketing and the insulated pipe,
tank, or equipment.
Due to its superior performance characteristics, PSMB replaces
the old moisture barrier technology of 1 to 3 mil thick polykraft.
COMPLIANCE TO STANDARDS
All Tedlar®* Coated Metal Jacketing from ITW Insulation
Systems complies with the applicable requirements of ASTM
B209 (Aluminum Alloy Standard) and C1729 (Aluminium
Jacketing Standard) and ASTM A240 (Stainless Steel Alloy
Standard)
