Cuts heat loss

The range of specialised insulation materials manufactured by Armacell now includes Armaflex Duct, a purpose-developed solution for the fast, effective outer cladding of ductwork systems in commercial air conditioning systems.

Available in roll widths of 1 and 1.5m and in thicknesses from 9 to 40mm, the closed cell, fibre-free flexible material offers low thermal conductivity values to limit heat and energy losses while preventing moisture ingress, an important feature for controlling condensation on cold air ductwork.

The material also features in-built Microban anti-bacterial protection to minimise the potential for surface microbial growth which can contribute to the symptoms of sick building syndrome.

The product has good noise absorption properties, helping to reduce break-out noise and decreasing the transmission of air and structure-borne sounds.
