Description

Armacell SH/ArmaFlex is a professional-grade, flexible elastomeric foam (FEF) insulation specifically engineered to optimize the energy efficiency of heating and plumbing systems. Designed to meet strict building energy regulations, it provides a reliable solution for reducing heat loss and ensuring a long-term return on investment in both residential and commercial projects.

The material features a closed-cell structure that acts as a built-in water vapor barrier, preventing condensation and protecting pipes from corrosion. For enhanced hygiene, SH/ArmaFlex is equipped with integrated Microban® antimicrobial protection, which actively inhibits the growth of mold and mildew—making it the ideal choice for environments where indoor air quality is a priority, such as homes, hospitals, and schools.

Key benefits:

  • Energy efficiency: Reduces energy losses by up to 85% with a low thermal conductivity (lambda 40 degrees C <= 0.036 W/mK).
  • Hygienic design: Built-in Microban® technology ensures long-term protection against microbes.
  • Versatile range: Available in standard tubes, self-seal versions for faster installation, continuous coils, and sheets for large surfaces.
  • Certified safety: FM Approved and fire-tested to provide peace of mind in public and private infrastructure.
