Description
Mold resistant AP/Armaflex Sheet & Roll Insulation is a flexible elastomeric thermal insulation, black in color. It is furnished with a smooth skin on one side which forms the outer exposed insulation surface. The expanded closed-cell structure of Armaflex makes it an efficient insulation. It is manufactured without the use of CFC's, HCFC's, or HFC's. It is also formaldehyde-free, dust free, low VOCs, fiber free and resists mold and mildew. All AP Armaflex products are made with Microban® antimicrobial product protection for added defense against mold on the insulation.
» AP/Armaflex Sheet is supplied in flat sheets 36" x 48" (.915m x 1.22m), in nominal wall thicknesses of 1/8", 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 3/4", 1", 1-1/2"* and 2"* (3, 6, 10, 13, 19, 25, 38, 50mm).
»AP/Armaflex Roll is supplied in 48" wide (1.22m) continuous rolls in nominal wall thicknesses of 3/8", 1/2", 3/4", 1", 1-1/2"* and 2"* (10, 13, 19, 25, 38, 50mm). It is also available in 60" (1.53m) in 1" thickness.

NOTE: 1-1/2" and 2" available in 25/50 and non 25/50 rated.
Uses
AP/Armaflex is used to retard heat gain and control condensation drip from chilled water and refrigeration systems. It also efficiently reduces heat flow on hot systems.
Flexible AP/Armaflex Sheet and Roll Insulation is used for all applications that cannot be accomplished by AP/Armaflex Pipe Insulation. It is particularly adaptable for insulating:


For use on cold pipes, AP/Armaflex Pipe Insulation thicknesses have been calculated to control condensation on the insulation outer surface, as shown in the table of thickness recommendations.
» Ductwork, large piping and fittings
»Tanks
»Vessels
»Curved and irregular surfaces
»All types of fitting covers
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. With full adhesive coverage attachment, the surface to which it is applied may operate to a limit of 180°F (82°C). When used for pipe insulation with adhesive adhering seams and joints only, AP/Armaflex Sheet can be applied to lines that will operate to a limit of 220°F (105°C).

For use on cold systems, AP/Armaflex thicknesses have been calculated to control condensation on the insulation outer surface, as shown in the table of thickness recommendations.

AP/Armaflex Sheet and Roll Insulation is acceptable in thicknesses through 2" for use in air plenums. Conforms to NFPA 90A and NFPA 90B requirements. AP/Armaflex Sheet and Roll Insulation meets the energy code requirements of International Energy Conservation Code (EICC) and ASHRAE for
R-Value 4.2 at 1" wall thickness and R-Value 8 at 2" wall thickness.


Resistance to Moisture Vapor Flow
The closed-cell structure of AP/Armaflex prevents moisture from wicking and makes it an efficient insulation. For many applications, Armaflex needs no supplementary protection.

Additional vapor-retarder protection may be necessary for Armaflex when installed on very-low-temperature surfaces or piping or where exposed to continually high humidity conditions.
