Armaflex Sheet in Kenya
Armaflex Sheet in Kenya has become one of the most widely used insulation materials for refrigeration, cold rooms, HVAC ducting, chilled-water pipes, and industrial cooling systems across the country. As Kenya’s industrial, commercial, and residential sectors grow, energy efficiency and high-quality insulation have become essential.
Armaflex sheet is a flexible, closed-cell elastomeric foam insulation sheet designed to provide excellent thermal performance, prevent condensation, reduce energy loss, and protect systems from temperature fluctuations.
At Industrial Materials Kenya, we supply Armaflex sheets, Armaflex tape, copper pipes, refrigeration gas, and all HVAC installation materials.
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:
-
