Stainless Steel with Moisture Barrier

Premium-Grade Industrial Cladding for Harsh Environments

At Nextera Insulations, we provide high-performance Stainless Steel Coils in 304, 316, 316L grades with Moisture Barrier, Plain 2B Finish intended for insulation protection in extremely corrosive and challenging environments. Our cladding solution offers superior durability, corrosion resistance, and long-term performance for industrial and commercial insulation systems.

What Is Stainless Steel Cladding with Moisture Barrier?

Stainless steel cladding with moisture barrier is a covering outer layer mounted on top of insulation to shield against water, chemicals, and environmental exposure impacting the systems beneath. The inside face of the stainless steel is laminated with polysurlyn , polyethylene (PE)—to serve as a moisture barrier, thus avoiding corrosion under insulation (CUI).

This makes it ideal for coastal, chemical, offshore, and high-temperature applications where premium corrosion resistance is essential.

Key Features

  • Outstanding Corrosion Resistance: Stainless steel naturally resists chemical corrosion and rust, and the incorporated water barrier prevents insulation contact with the metal surface.
  • Severe Durability: Withstands mechanical wear, chemical exposure, and thermal cycling in the most severe industrial environments.
  • High-Temperature Compatibility: Perfect for use in applications that entail high process temperatures where other cladding materials will deteriorate.
  • Moisture & Chemical Barrier: The bonded film blocks moisture entry and penetration by chemicals, minimizing long-term maintenance requirements.
  • UV & Weather Protection: Formulated to endure outdoor use, from extreme sunlight to industrial smoke and salt air.
  • Customizable Options: Offered in several grades (304, 316, 316L), thicknesses, and finishes—smooth or embossed—for numerous project applications.
