Armacell, a global pioneer in flexible foam for the equipment insulation market and a provider of engineered foams, will present its comprehensive range of thermal and acoustic insulation solutions for the first time at the SMM (Shipbuilding, Machinery, and Marine Technology) trade show.
The event, known as the world's major trade fair for the maritime industry, will be held on 3-6 Sept. 2024 in Hamburg, Germany. Armacell will showcase its innovative insulation and firestop solutions in Hall B5, Stand 429.
Safety standards in technical insulation
Armacell's thermal insulation systems enhance energy efficiency and safety onboard ships
With the marine industry increasingly focused on meeting stricter environmental regulations, Armacell's thermal insulation systems enhance energy efficiency and safety onboard ships. The company's flagship product, ArmaFlex® Ultima, sets a new standard in safety for technical insulation.
It features advanced low-smoke technology, exhibiting 10 times less smoke in the event of fire than standard elastomeric foam, thus improving visibility and respiration, and extending evacuation times.
The material’s superior insulation properties, coupled with high resistance to water vapour diffusion, ensure reliable condensation control and long-term energy savings. This minimises the risk of corrosion under insulation (CUI) and reduces potential downtime costs.
Cutting-edge maritime solutions
In addition to ArmaFlex Ultima, Armacell will present a range of innovative solutions tailored to the maritime industry:
- ArmaFix® Pipe Support: Eliminates the risk of thermal bridges, providing reliable and energy-efficient pipe support.
- ArmaFlex Protect: An easy-to-install firestop solution for sealing off pipe penetrations in A-class divisions and B-class bulkheads, enhancing fire safety by combining the proven properties of ArmaFlex with an intumescent component.
- Arma-CladTM Arma-Chek Juna: This 2-in-1 solution combines the advantages of the original closed-cell ArmaFlex insulation with a strong yet flexible and lightweight covering for the protection of beverage lines.
Certified installers can benefit from the ArmaFlex System Warranty, which provides them with a warranty of up to 10 years, underscoring the company's commitment to quality and durability.
Reducing noise and vibrations
Armacell addresses the growing concern of onboard noise with ArmaComfort® Barrier P
Expanding beyond thermal insulation, Armacell addresses the growing concern of onboard noise with ArmaComfort® Barrier P.
This high-performance, mass-loaded sound barrier ensures exceptional sound transmission loss across a broad frequency range with super-thin wall thicknesses and high fire performance. It significantly enhances acoustic comfort for both passengers and crew, creating a quieter and more pleasant environment.
Comprehensive insulation solutions
For over 40 years, Armacell's lightweight, closed-cell insulation materials have been trusted on all types of ships, effectively preventing condensation and energy losses on mechanical equipment.
