Armacell

As the inventors of flexible foam for equipment insulation and a leading provider of engineered foams, Armacell is more than an insulation company. We developinnovative and safe thermal, acoustic and mechanical solutions that create sustainable value for ourcustomers. Our products contribute to global energy efficiency making a difference around the world every day. Armacell focuses on insulation materials for technical equipment, high-performance foams for high-tech and lightweight applications and next generation aerogel blanket technology.

Armacell understands that installing AP ArmaFlex elastomeric foam involves a different set of skills than hanging fiberglass pipe or board insulation. That's why we developed the Armacell Qualified Installer Program (AQIP), which provides expert instruction in the installation of elastomeric closed-cell foam. Contractors and installers from all over the country sign up for these hands-on training clinics, which are taught by an elastomeric foam application specialist. When installers complete the program they are given a certificate of completion and their names are added to our qualified installers database so that contractors and construction firms know exactly who is qualified to install this product.

At Armacell, we know that the specifier is the key to a successful mechanical-insulation system. We believe that providing the mechanical engineer or system designer with the knowledge and tools to make the right selection in the design phase is fundamental to the durability and energy efficiency of any HVAC, plumbing, refrigeration or OEM project. Mechanical system designers can have a significant impact on occupant health and must take steps during the design and construction phases to ensure healthy indoor air in the spaces.

Since 1953 AP ArmaFlex has been THE preferred flexible elastomeric insulation for commercial plumbing pipes. The low thermal conductivity of ArmaFlex pipe insulation makes it an efficient thermal barrier. The closed-cell foam structure offers excellent water-vapor transmission properties, which reduce the need for additional vapor retarders. Also, its thermal performance will not be impaired by surface punctures. For residential and light commercial applications, Armacell's Tubolit, Imcoa and Tundra products are practical, cost-effective solutions for pipe insulation.

HVAC systems should be designed to make the most of every kW that goes into the heating or cooling of water or air for the purposes of indoor comfort. Insulating HVAC piping and ducts is not only smart, it's required by most codes. Armacell makes a range of products that make it easy to build an environment that will have thermal efficiency and acoustic benefits for years to come. Whether it's a new construction project or a retrofit job, there is an Armacell insulation that meets the needs of your heating, cooling, and/or ventilation design.

Rail is the most environmentally friendly mode of transportation. But increased comfort requirements, such as air conditioning, comfortable seats and tables, easily accessible lavatories and CET tanks have made trains heavier and more expensive to operate. To maintain its environmental advantage, energy efficiency has to be improved - without compromising passenger safety and comfort. Improving energy efficiency is a key challenge for today's railway industry. Armacell's flexible equipment insulation and sustainable foam cores for lightweight constructions can help to increase energy efficiency and passenger safety and comfort.

High-performance schools, universities and learning centers deserve high-performing insulation to help reduce energy waste, resist spread of mold and fibers, and reduce noise for a more effective learning environment. These educational facilities cannot afford to have HVAC inefficiency, questionable IAQ, or system maintenance issues. That's why the best insulation choice for these facilities is the one that provides long-lasting thermal performance without posing any threat to the indoor air environment.

Fiber-free, flexible elastomeric foam insulation for mechanical systems including: plumbing, refrigeration, HVAC and solar applications. Providing pre-laminated solutions for indoors and out. We produce a wide range of foam components for the automotive, athletic, medical and industrial markets. Our foam is used for padding, gaskets, seals and acoustical purposes. The Armacell Energy division provides thermal and acoustic insulation systems to deliver performance advantage, project operational and energy savings, asset integrity and safety in the harshest of environments.
