Armacell

Armacell manufactures technical foams and insulation that meet and anticipate the increasingly demanding requirements of the industrial sector.

Varying considerably depending on the application, these evolving requirements lately focus on passive fire protection, where the UK-made products of Armacell excel. For new systems or renovations, Armacell’s insulation solutions adapt to a wide range of environments, effectively contributing to energy savings, fire safety and cleaner, quieter, healthier man-made spaces.

Armacell insulation materials offer reliable condensation prevention, sound control, corrosion prevention and protection from mechanical stress. Closed-cell elastomeric insulation materials from Armacell feature low thermal conductivity and high water vapour diffusion resistance to meet the most stringent technical standards. Armacell also manufactures non-halogen and low smoke products for heightened fire safety requirements.

BSS are able to supply Armacell ArmaFlex for insulation. Contact your local BSS branch to order.

Isover Mineral Fibre Insulation

Isover mineral fibre pipe insulation for thermal and acoustic insulation of pipework. Isover foil pipe sections are strong, lightweight, pre-formed snap on sections with a reinforced foil covering.

  • Lightweight
  • Preformed snap on sections
  • Aluminium foil covered
  • Class “O” fire rated
  • Chemically neutral - no need to bore coat
  • High thermal/acoustic values
  • Environmentally friendly
  • Contains special water repellent additives - will not absorb water therefore will not accelerate corrosion
  • Performance will not deteriorate over time - long product life
  • Manufactured from mineral wool
  • Durable with constant density and thickness around the bore

For use on low temperature hot water, direct heating/hot water systems, steam and high temperature hot water, chilled/cold water systems, and flue gas ducting Suitable for continuous service temperatures up to 500°C. The temperature on the aluminium facing should not exceed 80°C. For use at temperatures over 230°C please contact our Technical department. The products can also be used in below ambient conditions, provided that a 100% vapour barrier is maintained.
