Thermal insulation

Posted on Friday 1 January 2010

Armacell insulation materials protect hot and cold water pipes against unacceptable temperature fluctuations, which can occur during the summer when the risk of legionella also rises.

During holiday periods water stagnates in pipework, making HVAC and plumbing systems a breeding ground for hazardous bacteria.

To prevent legionella it is important to ensure that the water circulates continuously through the pipework, and to prevent unacceptable temperature decreases in hot water pipes and increases in cold water pipes. 

Armacell insulation materials including AF/Armaflex Class O, Armaflex Tuffcoat and Tubolit protect pipes against temperature increases and decreases. Due to their excellent technical properties, these insulation materials reliably prevent the temperature fluctuations in pipework and at the same time protect the installations against energy losses. The closed-cell material structure also prevents moisture ingress and corrosion of pipework.
