FACT:Only Armaflex insulation is uniquely engineered and patented for Duct Systems – without fibers.

College-safe Armaflex insulation is backed by years of technical expertise. Itcombinesouroriginalclosedcellfoamtechnologyandourpatentedself-adheringsystemwiththeevolvingsciencesofIAQandantimicrobialprotection.Thesearethe sametechnologiesincorporatedintoworld-famousArmaflexpipeinsulation.

Armacell duct liners are engineered to add significant protection and value:

It’s time to insulate air ducts correctly – with the IAQ Insulation™ from Armacell.FACT: When fiber glass insulation gets wet, the EPA and fiberglass manufacturers (NAIMA) recommend that it be removed and thrown away as soon as possible to prevent mold and fungi growth.

“We clean fiber glass lined ducts every day. Whenever we find any broken apart, which is pretty common, we always recommend Armaflex”Jim Choquette, Senior Project Manager, Duct and Vent Cleaning of America

“Porous materials such as internal fibrous glass liner have been identified as a major source of fungal contamination.” ASHRAE Journal, April 2004
