Armaflex pipe lagging is a versatile material for protecting pipe joints and fittings. Its advantages include energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness. It can be used to protect iron or copper pipes and is available in FRV, Class O, and AP versions. It also contains an antimicrobial agent called Microban(r).
AP Armaflex
AP Armaflex pipe lagging is a popular material used in mechanical piping applications. Its closed-cell foam structure makes it an efficient thermal barrier that is resistant to both air and moisture. It is also resistant to fungal growth, making it an excellent choice for chilled water piping applications. It also provides excellent mechanical integrity and does not lose its properties when punctured or damaged.
This insulating tape can be easily applied to bends, curves and other difficult-to-reach places. It has a smooth black surface and a closed cell structure that retards heat flow. Despite its relatively simple application, Armaflex insulation provides a high level of protection for pipe and valve systems.
Microban(r) antimicrobial protection
Microban(r) antimicrobial protection offers a continuous level of protection against mould, mildew and bacteria. This additive is infused into the insulation during the manufacturing process and remains present throughout. This ensures that the antimicrobial product protection never wears off or washes away. The Microban brand gives Armacell products a further layer of mould protection, and is free to Armacell customers.
The Microban protection in ArmaFlex pipe lagging inhibits mould growth on the surface of the lagging. It is also registered with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). It provides long-term protection for ventilation and air-conditioning equipment. It is also a great choice for mechanical systems within the food or pharmaceutical industries.
Armaflex Low VOC Spray Contact Adhesive is available in 27-pound aerosolized canisters. It contains no CFCs or ozone-depleting compounds and meets all fire building codes. It is also ideal for bonding Armaflex sheet insulation to mechanical equipment.
Armacell also offers the Armaflex Pipe Insulation Tape. This is a high-quality insulation tape that protects against mold and freezing. Its expanded closed-cell structure resists moisture and is formaldehyde-free and low-VOC. It also reduces heat loss and heat gain.
Class O Armaflex
AF/Armaflex Class O pipe lagging is an effective solution for insulating piping and can reduce condensation risk. It has a unique microcell structure and excellent resistance to water vapour transmission. This material also has built-in Microban (r) antimicrobial protection. It also has excellent fire performance. The Class O family of products also includes pipe supports and ArmaFlex Protect fire sleeves.
AP Armaflex is one of the world’s most recognized closed-cell foam insulation products. It provides superior protection against condensation and thermal loss, and is free of CFCs and other harmful chemicals. This makes it an ideal choice for mechanical piping systems. AP Armaflex is available in eight and ten-inch IDs for a wide range of piping systems.
Using Armaflex pipe insulation will protect your investment by reducing heat and energy loss. It also prevents mould and pipe corrosion. This closed-cell nitrile rubber foam is flexible, lightweight and provides exceptional resistance to chemicals and ozone. It is also available in a self-sealing tube format. It is ideal for use in ductwork and for domestic plumbing systems.
FRV Armaflex
The FRV Armaflex pipe laging system provides a variety of advantages for the pipe-lagging system. Its one-component industrial adhesive is fast-drying and provides reliable vapour tight joints. Besides, the system includes a pump for the adhesive to facilitate installation. Its cleaner is a clear, odourless liquid, which can be used to remove the adhesive.
ArmaFlex FRV pipe lagging has excellent fire performance and is fire-rated to US National Fire Protection Association standard 274. The NFPA 274 test simulates a fire in a vertical riser shaft containing multiple insulated pipes. ArmaFlex FRV meets the recommended acceptance criteria for this standard, as well as the more stringent US Uniform Mechanical Code.
FRV Armaflex pipe laging is ideal for applications involving both heated and chilled water. Its high moisture-resistant characteristics are particularly valuable for chilled water piping systems. In addition, the FRV Armaflex pipe lagging system is resistant to both bacterial and fungal growth.
AP Armaflex rubber pipe lagging
Armaflex rubber pipe lagging is a highly flexible and close-cell, lightweight elastomeric thermal insulation that is specially designed to protect pipes against condensation, freezing, and energy loss. It is a great choice for liquid cooling lines and can be installed in a variety of sizes. It is also equipped with Microban antimicrobial product protection, which helps to prevent mold growth on it.
AP Armaflex tap covers
AP Armaflex tap covers for pipe laging are made of self-adhering material. The sheets and rolls snap over the fitting. Alternatively, you can use a self-adhesive adhesive on the inner arc joint. Before installing AP Armaflex, it is recommended that you clean and dry the pipe section. After that, you can apply pipe insulation and ensure that the joints are staggered.
Armaflex Protect is an intumescent material that can seal off penetrations for metal or combustible pipework. It is compatible with Armaflex 520 Adhesives and works with all AP Armaflex elastomeric insulation materials. It has no minimum distance requirement and is suitable for any type of pipe.
ArmaFlex’s high resistance to moisture and thermal shock means that it is a suitable choice for piping systems. This material will protect pipes from leakage and maintain the integrity of the mechanical system for years to come. As a result, you can be sure that the pipe insulation will not become brittle and fall apart.
Armaflex’s 2″ wide insulation tape can be used for insulating pipes and fittings. It is especially useful for insulating short lengths of pipe and can be combined with AP Armaflex pipe lagging.
