Insulation – Aramflex Tuffcoat

 

The Armaflex Tuffcoat is foamed nitrile rubber laminated with a Tuffcoat PVC coating designed for protection against impact damage.

According to Armacell, the product is suitable for both above and below ground installations, including mains cold water and ground source heat pump pipework to prevent freezing.

The company has recently redesigned the tube version of the product so that about a quarter of the Tuffcoat PVC covering is left un-adhered to the Armaflex installation tube.

This un-adhered section of the covering has a self-adhesive backing with protective peel-off paper sheet for removing and fixing down onto the insulation once the tubes are installed onto pipework, the company said.

Once down, the protective paper can be peeled off and the Tuffcoat film sealed in place over the glued seam. According to Armacell, the un-secured piece of the Tuffcoat film overlaps the circumference of the tube to provide protection against moisture at the seam.

The company said this change is to facilitate both easier and quicker installation by simplifying handling of boxes onsite.
