Product Description

Benefi ts

Armafl ex EDL is a foil-faced elastomeric thermal insulation, supplied with a high performance self-adhesive backing. It is constructed from Armacell’s proven FR/Armafl ex insulation material. Armafl ex EDL is suitable for insulation of equipment cabinets, storage tanks, and air-conditioning ducts. Its superior-grip Pressure Sensitive Adhesive system makes it applicable in non-pinned fi eld applications. It is also highly suited for raised-fl oor or under-fl oor air-conditioning systems.

Condensation Control

Armaflex insulation provides excellent control of condensation. The thickness required will depend on the ambient air temperature, the relative humidity in the environment, and the temperature of the surface to be insulated. The level of airflow around any insulation will also affect its control of condensation.

The surface characteristics of insulation material will affect its performance. Insulation that is covered with a shiny metal surface needs to be used in greater thickness than insulation with a black or non-reflective surface. Insulation with a shiny surface will reflect radiant heat, causing the surface to become cooler. To prevent the dew point occurring on the material’s surface (this is the point where condensation occurs) any metal-covered insulation must be used in greater thickness than insulation with a black non-reflective surface.

The foil-facing on Armaflex EDL provides many benefits; the surface is highly resistant to fire, it is easily cleaned to provide hygienic and aesthetic advantages, and the foil provides an additional vapour barrier. In selecting the material’s thickness the effect of foil should be recognised, and the material applied in greater thickness than standard Armaflex.

If you have any questions about your particular application, and the thickness of material required, please contact Armacell for Technical Service and recommendations.

Installation Tips

Note: For further information consult the Armaflex Installation Manual

1

The temperature of the air and of the insulation should be between 10°C and 35°C at the time of installation.

Surface to be covered should be cleaned of all loose material, dust, grease and oil. Use a commercial degreaser and solvent wipe.

Cut with sharp knife. Peel back enough release liner to start.

Square off sheet along an edge or corner. Press the sheet to the surface taking care not to trap any air.

Reach behind the Armaflex sheet and peel liner back while pressing the sheet to the surface. Remove the entire liner piece.

Press firmly. Butt joints require the use of compression to prevent the possible opening of seams.

All joins in Armaflex EDL should be sealed with a high-grade aluminium foil. When using non-foil faced sheeting, ensure all exposed edges and joins are sealed with Armaflex 520 adhesive.

General Instructions

• Armaflex EDL is highly flexible and can easily be wrapped around a duct, cabinet, vessel or large-diameter pipe work.

• For very thick material (25mm), and for internal lining of small areas, it can easily be cut and fitted as small sheets.

• The backing material is a pressure-sensitive adhesive, and requires the application of pressure across all areas to complete the bonding. Care should be taken to align the material, as it cannot be removed after the adhesive bonds and cures.

Armaflex Around Ducting

1

For cladding of ducts, insulate the base first, then the sides, and finish with the top. This ensures a cleaner appearance and eliminates seems at the top, where moisture can drop down.

Roll a cylindrical object across the material repeatedly to apply solid and even pressure across all the adhesive system.

The top should cover the side edges, leaving no exposed seems on top. Use a brush to force Armaflex adhesive between all joins to complete the vapor seal.

Standing ribs can be insulated with strips of sheet Armaflex that are built-up around the area. Alternatively ribs can be insulated with Armaflex pipe-insulation that is cut in half and mitred at the edges.
