Introduce Armaflex Class 1

ArmaFlex Class 1 is a flexible insulation material that reliably protects against water vapor ingress due to its closed-cell structure. No additional water vapor barrier is required.

It possesses a special feature: Increased wall thickness of the insulating pipe ensures that the surface temperature is maintained as the pipe diameter increases.

Application

Thermal insulation/protection of pipes, air ducts and vessels (incl. elbows, fittings, flanges, etc.) in air conditioning, refrigeration and process equipment to prevent condensation and to save energy. Structure-borne noise reduction in service-water and waste-water installations.

Advantages

Closed-cell structure: Minimises moisture permeation to ensure long-term protection against corrosion under insulation. Removes the need for an additional water vapor barrier.
Good 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.
Energy efficiency: Low thermal conductivity minimizes energy losses to give long-term energy savings.
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.
