Pipe insulation is used to reduce heat loss or gain from pipes, which helps in maintaining the temperature of the fluids being transported. This can lead to energy savings, prevent pipes from freezing in cold weather, and reduce condensation on cold pipes.
Hair felt also known as wool felt, is a traditional material used for pipe insulation. It is made from natural fibres like wool and jute, and it provides a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to modern synthetic insulation materials. Hair felt is particularly useful for:
Frost protection: It helps prevent pipes from freezing in cold weather.
Energy efficiency: By keeping heat inside the pipes, it helps save energy and maintain the desired temperature.
Preventing overheating: It can help prevent overheating of adjoining spaces by insulating hot pipes.

Armaflex:
Armaflex pipe insulation is a high-quality insulation material designed for use in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. It is made from closed-cell elastomeric nitrile rubber foam that provides excellent thermal insulation. This pipe-insulating material is available in various thicknesses and sizes to suit a wide range of piping applications, making it an ideal solution for both commercial and residential HVAC systems.
One of the key benefits of Armaflex insulation is its ability to resist moisture ingress and the in-built Microban® antimicrobial protection. The anti-microbial agent prevents the growth of microbes, thereby protecting you and your family from the harmful effects of bacteria.
In addition to its insulation properties, Armaflex lagging is also highly durable and flexible. It can be easily cut and moulded to fit any piping configuration, and it won't crack or deteriorate over time. This makes it an ideal choice for HVAC systems that are subject to frequent temperature changes or vibrations.
Armaflex is also environmentally friendly and safe to use. It is CFC and HCFC-free and does not contain any harmful chemicals that can contribute to air pollution or harm the ozone layer.
