ArmaFlex SS (Retail)
Self Seal Tube Insulation
ArmaFlex, the world’s most recognized brand of closed-cell foam insulation, provides superior protection against thermal losses, condensation and moisture accumulation that leads to mold. It is the ideal choice for insulating mechanical piping systems.
Schools, hospitals, government institutions, commercial and residential spaces of all types value the long-term performance and peace of mind that ArmaFlex lends to mechanical piping systems. Its moisture-resistant characteristics make it especially valuable on air conditioning and refrigeration piping where condensation might otherwise soak through fibrous types of insulations, significantly degrading their thermal performance, leaving them susceptible to fungal growth, and ultimately shortening their lifecycle. Moisture-resistant ArmaFlex, however, maintains its physical and thermal integrity – for the life of the mechanical system!
