Product Description

Armaflex is very efficient low-temperature insulation, preventing condensation and reducing energy loss. Importantly, the closed-cell structure of this elastomeric foam provides a built-in barrier to water vapour. Closed cell insulation has a discrete, non-interconnected cellular structure. It is not porous, because cells have sealed walls which inhibit moisture migration or wicking inside the insulation. The multi-layered structure can't be compromised by surface punctures or tears.

Technical and Environmental Benefits

Zero Ozone Depleting Potential (ODP) - Armaflex is manufactured without CFCs, HFC's or HCFC's, to provide a high-standard of environmental compliance and meet regulations for Green Building design. Zero Global Warming Potential (GWP) - Armaflex insulation is manufactured with blowing agents that do not contribute to global warming. Low VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) - Armaflex insulation is low VOC, with no-off-gassing, which means faster building occupancy and compliance with modern building regulations. Low VOC Adhesives - Armacell provides low-VOC adhesives for the joining of insulation. High flexibility for easy & fast installation. Low thermal conductivity for effective energy saving and CO2 reduction. Closed-cell structure for an effective barrier to water vapour. No shrinkage to minimise the risk of gaps between insulation. Extensive product range to meet a wide range of conditions and applications. Long life expectancy for long-lasting protection. Excellent fire performance; non-dripping and non-contributing to fire. Available in a split, self-sealing form for maintenance applications. Available in compact, long-length coils for ease of storage and reduced joining.
