Insulation redesigned
05 November 2013
Armaflex Tuffcoat insulation from Armacell comprises Armaflex flexible, closed cell, foamed nitrile rubber laminated with a Tuffcoat PVC coating for enhanced protection against impact damage.

The product is suitable for both above and below ground installations including mains cold water and ground source heat pump pipework to prevent freezing. The Tuffcoat outer covering ensures protection against UV damage, water ingress and damage from birds or rodents. It is also suitable for pipe and ductwork applications where wash down cleaning regimes are regularly undertaken.
The tube version of the product has been redesigned so that around a quarter of the Tuffcoat PVC covering is left un-adhered to the Armaflex insulation tube. This section has a self-adhesive backing with protective peel off paper sheet for removing and fixing down onto the Armaflex insulation once tubes are installed onto pipework.
