ArmaFlex Ultima Self-Seal Pipe Insulation Low Smoke B(L)-s1,d0
How to measure?
Pipe insulation sizes refer to the outside diameter of the pipe — not the bore (internal diameter).
|←— OD —→|Wrap a tape measure around the pipe, divide by π (3.14) to get the OD. Or use calipers across the outside of the pipe directly.

ArmaFlex Ultima Self-Seal is Armacell's low-smoke, closed-cell flexible elastomeric pipe insulation for HVAC, refrigeration and process applications where enhanced fire performance is required. Based on ArmaPrene technology, Ultima produces approximately 10 times less smoke than a standard elastomeric product and self-adhesive tubes achieve a B(L)-s1,d0 reaction-to-fire classification.
Each 2m tube is pre-slit with a factory-applied pressure-sensitive self-adhesive longitudinal closure. Armacell specifies that self-adhesive tubes should additionally be secured with ArmaFlex Ultima tape. For bonded joints and fabricated sections, ArmaFlex Ultima ECO550 and ArmaFlex Ultima 700 are the certified adhesives for this system.
