EcoFoil Ultra NT SCIF
Barrier is a heavy duty radiant barrier sheet made up of a single layer of
woven polyethylene material bonded to - and sandwiched between - two highly
reflective aluminum surfaces. Ultra NT is used in Sensitive Compartmented Information
Facilities (SCIF, pronounced “skiff”), a special facility for handling Sensitive Compartmented
Information.Ultra NT is also an
approved vapor barrier.
What
is SCI and SCIF?
SCI
(Sensitive Compartmented Information)-information and materials that require special controls for
restricted handling within compartmented intelligence systems and for which
compartmentation is established.
SCIF
(Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility) - A term used by the Department
of Defense for a secure room or data center that inhibits electronic
surveillance and suppresses data leakage.
A
SCIF is an accredited area, room, building or installation where SCI may be
stored, discussed or processed.
Sound
Attenuation- Reducing the intensity or the sound pressure level of sound, which
is transmitted from one point to another.
Ultra
NT has successfully been used in SCIF applications for sound attenuation and RF
frequency shielding. Ultra NT is easy to install and manufactured of
non-harmful components.

BARRIER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
*The Radio Frequency
Shielding application is a specialized one. We
provide the following instructions only as a guide. Please consult the
architect for correct application for any project.
1) Unroll the Ultra NT
product and cut it to appropriate lengths to cover all walls, ceilings,
and
floors of a room or building that you want shielded from RF
transmission.
2a) If the building is
made of wood framing, you can staple the product to the wood directly –
stapling every 6-10 inches.
2b) If the building is
made of concrete, then you can use a general purpose construction
adhesive to
attach the product to the concrete wall. A bead of adhesive at 1 foot
intervals
should be sufficient to hold the product in place.
2c) In some cases, the
Ultra NT must be installed between two layers of 5/8” gypsum board –
please
consult with the architect to be sure.
3) Make sure to overlap
all Ultra NT joints by 6” and then use an aluminum foil tape to seal all
seams.
4) When you reach the
top of a wall, extend the Ultra NT so that it extends around the corner
and
onto the ceiling for 6 inches.
5) When you reach the
bottom of a wall, extend the Ultra NT so that it extends onto the floor
by 6
inches.
6) Install more Ultra
NT material on the ceiling and the floor to complete the job.
