Plumbing
Armacell offers the original closed-cell foam insulation systems for plumbing — commercial and residential
Since 1953 AP ArmaFlex® has been THE preferred flexible elastomeric insulation for commercial plumbing pipes.
The low thermal conductivity of ArmaFlex pipe insulation makes it an efficient thermal barrier. The closed-cell foam structure offers excellent water-vapor transmission properties, which reduce the need for additional vapor retarders. Also, its thermal performance will not be impaired by surface punctures.
Attributes:
Ensures long-term thermal performance
Inhibits mold and mildew, protects IAQ
Withstands abuse, protects the pipe system
Moisture won’t wick, no additional vapor retarder required
Acceptable for use over heat tracing
