What Is Armaflex Sheet?

Armaflex sheet is a high-performance elastomeric insulation sheet made from nitrile rubber (NBR). It features a closed-cell structure that prevents moisture absorption, eliminates condensation, and maintains thermal efficiency. It is commonly used for pipe insulation, duct insulation, and cold-room construction.

Key characteristics include:

High flexibility
Excellent thermal resistance
Moisture resistance
UV and weather resistance
Easy to cut, shape, and glue
Long-lasting insulation performance

This makes Armaflex sheet one of the best insulation solutions for Kenya’s refrigeration and HVAC market.

Why Armaflex Sheet in Kenya Is in High Demand

Demand for Armaflex Sheet in Kenya is growing due to:

Expanding cold-chain logistics
Growth of supermarkets & butcheries
Industrial processing facilities
Increased installation of AC systems
Expansion of cold room construction
Need for energy-efficient buildings

Poor or low-quality insulation results in energy loss, system failure, mold formation, and expensive maintenance. Armaflex solves these problems with reliable and long-lasting performance.
