Introduce Armaflex Class 0

ArmaFlex Class 0 is a flexible insulation material that reliably protects against water vapor ingress due to its closed-cell structure. No additional water vapour barrier is required.

ArmaFlex sheets are infused with Microban antimicrobial protection to provide additional assurance against mold and bacteria growth.

Application

Thermal insulation/protection of pipes, air ducts and vessels (including elbows, fittings, flanges, etc.) in hot and cold water services, chilled water lines, heating systems, air conditioning ductwork and refrigerated pipework, installed in commercial, industrial, residential and public buildings to control condensation, protect against frost and reduce energy loss.

Advantages

Excellent fire performance: FM Approved for the entire range of insulation thickness for both tube and sheet. Certified to conform to safety, reliability and performance standards of various local fire safety bodies.
Closed-cell structure: Minimises moisture permeation to ensure long-term protection against corrosion under insulation. Removes the need for an additional water vapor barrier.
Energy efficient: Low thermal conductivity minimizes. energy losses to give long-term energy savings.
Microban protection: When microbes come into contact with the insulation surface, Microban penetrates the cell wall of the micro-organism, disabling its ability to function, grow and reproduce.
Environmentally safe: Zero Ozone Depletion Potential and Global Warming Potential; rated “Excellent” by Singapore Green Building Council.
Safer indoor air quality: Free of fiber and formaldehyde, and GREENGUARD® Gold certified for low emissions of volatile organic compounds.
Easy-to-install: Highly flexible elastomeric foam that can be installed quickly on irregular shapes and installations in tight spaces.
