Protects against infection

Class O Armaflex engineered foam insulation materials, including sheets, tubes and coils are now supplied with built-in, lifelong antimicrobial protection against the proliferation of potentially infectious agents. These products are suitable for use in buildings with high occupancy levels, but can be used anywhere to provide added 24/7 protection against harmful microbes such as bacteria, mould and mildew.

The protection is provided by Microban anti-microbial product protection, a technology incorporated into the manufacturing process of the insulation materials. On contact, this protection penetrates the cell walls of micro organisms, disabling their ability to function and reproduce.

Protection is permanent and cannot be removed during handling, washing or general wear. It is maintained in conditions of heat and cold.

Armaflex products also provide passive protection, and Class O fire rating is incorporated.
