Condensation Control

Prevent technical insulation failures. Because 98 percent of all insulation failures are related to moisture, condensation should be avoided at all costs. Armacell’s technical insulation solutions enable you to control condensation BEYOND BETTER, and prevent moisture ingress.

    Watch this video to discover how our engineered solutions go BEYOND BETTER to enable condensation control and deliver reliable insulation system performance.

    Why you need to control condensation

    Controlling condensation is critical because moisture can compromise your insulation system, leading to thermal loss. The right insulation thickness ensures that the surface temperature is always above the dew point, preventing condensation from occurring on the surface. In the event that there is moisture, a closed-cell material can help prevent water vapour intrusion.

    AVOID CONDENSATION AT ALL COSTS

    Insulation
    Wet insulation reduces thermal performance

    Wet insulation cannot protect the insulated pipes against energy loss. Hence, thermal performance of the system will be reduced.

    Moisture
    Moisture ingress leads to system failure

    Moisture ingress deteriorates the insulation, which can result in failure of the installed insulation system.

    Mask
    Mould poses a health risk

    If moisture accumulates in the insulation material, mould can grow. This can lead to poor indoor air quality, posing a serious health risk to building occupants.

    The smallest detail can have significant consequences

    4% MOISTURE INGRESS REDUCES INSULATION EFFECTIVENESS BY 70%

    Incorrectly insulated cold systems sweat quickly, which can lead to surface condensation, causing significant damage within the system and building.
