Armaflex Tape in Kenya
Armaflex Tape in Kenya is one of the most essential insulation materials used in refrigeration, HVAC, and cold-room installations. It is a flexible, self-adhesive, closed-cell nitrile rubber tape designed to seal joints, prevent condensation, improve energy efficiency, and protect copper pipes from temperature changes.
At Industrial Materials Kenya, we supply genuine Armaflex Tape, Armaflex Sheets, Copper Pipes, and all refrigeration accessories used in HVAC and cold-room construction across Kenya.
What is Armaflex Tape?
Armaflex Tape is a self-adhesive insulation material manufactured from closed-cell elastomeric foam. It is used to seal joints, wrap around copper pipes, prevent sweating, and maintain refrigeration efficiency.
