AP Armaflex, the world's most recognized brand of closed-cell foam insulation, provides superior protection against thermal losses, condensation and moisture accumulation that leads to mold. It is the ideal choice for insulating mechanical piping systems.
How long does ArmaFlex last?
Two coats of Armaflex WB Finish must be applied for optimal performance. Its special elastic properties make it exceptionally durable and weather resistant to ultraviolet (UV) and ozone. Outdoor surfaces should be recoated every 2 to 4 years. Fewer inside insulation applications require some type of protection.Dec 12, 2018
What is ArmaFlex used for?
Select closed-cell foam insulation: ArmaFlex is the closed-cell elastomeric insulation invented to prevent condensation, moisture intrusion and loss of thermal efficiency. Use the Armacell ArmWin™ program to calculate the insulation thickness needed to maintain the surface temperature above the dew-point temperature.
What temperature is ArmaFlex good for?
The recommended temperature usage range for AP Armaflex Sheet is -297°F to +220°F (-183°C to +105°C) according to method of application.
What material is ArmaFlex?
AP ArmaFlex®, the original elastomeric closed-cell foam insulation, has been the chosen fiber-free mechanical insulation since its introduction in 1954. Superior condensation control and consistent thermal performance have made ArmaFlex the preferred insulating material for pipes and ductwork.
What is the R value of ArmaFlex?
aP armaflex Sheet and roll Insulation meets the energy code requirements of International energy Conservation Code (IeCC) and aSHrae for R-Value 4.2 at 1” wall thickness and r-Value 8 at 2” wall thickness.
What kind of foam is used in boat hulls?
Density floatation foam is a specific type of foam that is approved by the U.S. Coast Guard (according to Regulation Number 33 CFR 183.114). This type of marine foam is known for its high buoyancy, which makes it ideal for use in boats and other sea-faring vessels.Oct 25, 2020
How do you stop condensation on fiberglass?
Condensation can be prevented by adding insulation and ensuring that the insulation is dimensioned so that its surface temperature will be above that of the dew point.Oct 21, 2010
Can you use spray foam on a boat?
Yes, you need the foam IF you want to boat to float as intended when swamped and you must use closed cell foam so it won't absorb water. Whatever you do, do NOT use consumer spray foam designed for sealing air gaps around the house. Most of these foams are not closed-cell and therefore will absorb water like a sponge.Apr 12, 2012
How do I stop condensation on my boat?
On a boat, that boundary layer is the interior surface of an uninsulated, or under-insulated, hull or deck. Condensation can be prevented by adding insulation and ensuring that the insulation is dimensioned so that its surface temperature will be above that of the dew point.Oct 21, 2010
