PIONEERING FLEXIBLE INSULATION Back in 1954, Armacell invented ArmaFlex, the first flexible insulation product. In doing so, it established a new branch of industry - flexible technical insulation -that it has been shaping ever since. ArmaFlex is now the World's best-known brand for flexible technical insulation, and the brand name has become epnoymous in the building materials industry. ENERGY SAVING Armacell insulation materials are among the few products that save more energy than is used for their production: Armaflex saves an impressive 140 times more energy than it takes to...

GREEN GUIDE BRE GREEN GUIDE: ‘A’ RATING FOR ARMAFLEX MATERIALS The BRE (Building Research Establishment) has now added pipe insulation products to their green guide to specification; with nitrile rubber insulation products, including ArmaFlex materials, receiving an A rating. The Green Guide ratings compare the environmental impact of construction products on a scale of A+ to E, with A+ referring to products with the lowest environmental impact and E rated products having a high impact. An A rating for nitrile rubber insulation validates the low environmental impact of ArmaFlex, helping...

ENVIRONMENTAL PRODUCT DECLARATIONS Armacell publishes environmental product declarations which are based on an independent lifecycle assessment (LCA). Comparing the primary energy input identified in the LCA with the energy saving achieved, shows that ArmaFlex insulation materials save 140 times more energy than is needed for their manufacture, transport and disposal. EPDs are becoming more and more important in the construction industry: they provide a transparent, independent and reproducible analysis of the environmental impacts of construction products and give detailed information with...

Insulation requirements vary greatly depending on the specific equipment requirements and destinations, with each destination encompassing more than one type of building, installation or equipment. Thanks to their exceptional properties Armacell advanced insulation products can be used for a wide range of applications and conditions. From large multi-storey residential developments with strict fire safety requirements, to products specifically developed for domestic applications, Armacell offers thermal and acoustic insulation to the following markets: Residential Solutions for private...

Closed cell insulation systems Refrigeration and cold water services operating at low temperatures attract condensation; and the associated problems of corrosion, mould growth and deterioration in the efficiency and service life of equipment. Closed cell ArmaFlex insulation materials help to control condensation owing to its high water vapour diffusion resistance value of up to 10,000 mu (|j value). Conversely, if a non-closed cell product that doesn't act as an integral water vapour barrier is used, condensation can form under insulation leading to Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI). The...

Central heating and renewable systems Insulating sanitation and heating pipes as well as solar systems is one of the easiest, most economical and effective ways of saving energy. The insulation of central heating pipework can reduce heat losses by as much as 87% and make a significant contribution to improving boiler efficiencies, with a payback period on energy bills of less than one year. The insulation of cold water pipes is also important to protect pipework located outside or in unheated loft spaces. As pipes freeze, water expands and the pressure exerted is enough to either burst...

MARKET DESTINATION & APPLICATIONS Ductwork Heated and cooled air is distributed using ductwork including warm air return, supply, and exhaust systems. Rectangular ductwork is used for the main supply of heating and cooling systems, with circular ductwork and flexible hose sections used to branch off supply and return ducts to specific rooms. The large surface areas of ducted heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems are subject to significant heat losses/gains and subsequent problems with condensation and mould growth. To address these risks and maintain the desired temperature of...

Process temperature applications Process industry equipment including pipework, ducts, vessels, valves and flanges should be insulated to help ensure that steam, hot water, hot gasses or cold liquids and gases are delivered at controlled levels. Elastomeric thermal and acoustic insulation systems are suitable for both high and low temperature process applications. Easy to fabricate ArmaFlex sheet or tubes can be used to minimise heat loss/gain, improve process efficiencies, control condensation and provide mechanical impact and personnel protection. When insulating pipework in food and...
