Insulation improved
17 January 2014
Armacell's new AF/Armaflex Class O brand thermal insulation, incorporating a full range of elastomeric tubes, self seal tubes, coils, tape, flat sheet, self-adhesive sheets, continuous sheet (rolls) and pre-insulated pipe supports is now available with all the products providing the same technical values for the first time.
The range is suitable for refrigeration and air conditioning, chilled water, process lines and heating and ventilation pipe and ductwork applications. The new range replaces the previous Class O Armaflex range, with AF/Armaflex Class O tube and sheet product codes now prefixed with AF-CO for ease of identification.
The range has a Euroclass Fire Rating of Bs3-d0 (the European equivalent to a Class O rating) and improved thermal conductivity performance of 0.033 W/(m • K) at 0ºC.
The water vapour diffusion resistance performance is improved from 7000 to µ ≥10,000. In addition the product is now free from medium chain chlorinated paraffins (MCCP).
