AP Armaflex on PipesArmacell 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.
