Armaflex® Alu

Cleaner, Quieter duct insulation with high mechanical resistance

Armaflex® ALU

The competitive advantages of specifying Armafl ex Alu

  • Lightweight and fl exible insulation for easy and speedy installation
  • Wide range of sheet thicknesses available
  • Excellent fi nish with aluminium covering for clean room applications
  • The low thermal conductivity, 0.035 W/(m.k) at 0oC, and good acoustic performance provide double benefi ts with one insulation system
  • Closed cell structure provides a very effi cient built-in vapour barrier with a very high value of 12000 DIN EN 12 086
  • Class O fi re category means low fi re propagation index, producing minimal contribution to overall heat release, for a high degree of fi re protection and safety
  • Excellent resistant to the effects of ozone, oil and chemicals
  • Does not decay or contribute to the growth of fungus and bacteria
  • Easily cleaned with no shedding of particles
  • Requires minimal maintenance and assures long term life of installation
  • Dust, fi bre, CFC and HCFC free with and ODP of zero
