HT/ArmaFlex insulation for industrial and building installation

HT/ArmaFlex is the professional, highly-flexible, closed-cell elastomeric foam insulation (FEF) for continuous energy saving and condensation control purposes with exceptional resistance to high temperatures and UV radiation. The combination of very low thermal conductivity and extremely high resistance to water vapour transmission prevents long-term energy losses and water vapour ingress and reduces the risk of corrosion under insulation.

ArmaFlex products are manufactured in a pressureless, continuous and discontinuous production process. In the first step, a homogenous compound is produced with rubber, additives, ancillary materials, blowing and vulcanization agents. This is done on the rolling mill or in the internal mixer followed by the rolling mill. Rubber extruders are used to process the compounds to produce raw profiles with defined dimensions. Here exact compliance with the dimensions for the raw profile is crucial for the dimensional accuracy of the foamed product. In the case of the discontinuous, pressureless production process, the raw profiles are cut to length and then foamed in a hot-air oven. In the case of the continuous, pressureless process, the extruded profile is fed directly onto a vulcanization line whose energy source may be hot air, for example. In foam production, vulcanization and blowing processes run alongside each other. Both reactions are regulated by temperature control. Recipe and temperature control determine the properties of the foam. Quality assurance: EC Certificate of conformity no. 0543 of the Gütegemeinschaft Hartschaum e.V. Celle. Quality management system in accordance with EN ISO 9001. Declared unit: The declaration refers to 1 m³ insulation product. For the LCA calculations the average density per product brand is used. As additional information and support for installers the thermal conductivity coefficient (lambda-value) and R-value per 20 cm thickness per product brand are given.

HT/ArmaFlex is used to insulate pipes, air ducts and vessels including fittings and flanges of industrial installations and building equipment. Condensation control, energy saving and noise control in refrigeration and air conditioning equipment and process plants. Energy savings and personal protection insulation in solar panels, hot gas lines, steam and dual temperature lines applications.
