Product Description
Armaflex EDL is a foil-faced elastomeric thermal insulation, supplied with a high performance self-adhesive backing. It is
constructed from Armacells proven FR/Armaflex insulation material. Armaflex 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 field applications. It is also highly suited for raised-floor or under-floor 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 materials 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 materials 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.
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.
