Armaflex 520 (ADH520) Pipe Insulation Adhesive

Armaflex 520 Adhesive – Reliable Bonding for Armaflex Pipe Insulation

Ensure a secure and durable bond with Armaflex 520 Adhesive, a high-performance, air-drying contact adhesive specifically formulated for Armaflex insulation materials. Designed for seamless installation, this adhesive provides a strong, water-tight bond for seams, butt joints, and surface adhesion in HVAC, refrigeration, and plumbing systems. Available in 0.25L to 2.5L cans, Armaflex 520 is suitable for temperatures from -50°C to +105°C, offering reliable performance in a wide range of applications.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Specialized for Armaflex Insulation: Formulated to bond all flexible Armaflex insulation materials (except ArmaFlex Ultima, HT/ArmaFlex, ArmaPrene, and EPDM-based products), ensuring a reliable, system-compatible bond for pipes, sheets, ducts, tanks, and chillers.
• Fast-Drying & Easy Application: This low-viscosity adhesive dries quickly (tack-free in 1-5 minutes, fully cured in 36 hours), allowing for efficient installation. Its liquid form (155-195 cPs viscosity) makes it easy to apply with a brush or roller, ensuring uniform coverage.
• Water-Tight & Weather-Resistant Bond: Creates a strong, water-tight seal that maintains Armaflex’s resistance to water vapour, withstanding weathering and ageing for long-term reliability in humid environments.
• Wide Temperature Range: Suitable for operating temperatures from -50°C to +105°C (up to 220°F for seams, 180°F for surface adhesion), making it ideal for both hot and cold applications in HVAC and refrigeration systems.
• Versatile Compatibility: Bonds Armaflex to clean, prepared surfaces like metal ducts, tanks, and chillers, and is also compatible with Tubolit flexible polyethylene thermal insulation for added versatility.
• Non-Flammable When Dry: While the adhesive contains flammable solvents (e.g., 30-60% n-Hexane, 10-30% Acetone, 10-30% Toluene) in its liquid state, it becomes non-flammable once fully dried, enhancing safety during use.
• High Coverage Efficiency: Covers up to 200 sq-ft per gallon, providing cost-effective application for large-scale projects.
• Long Shelf Life: Offers a shelf life of 1.5 years when stored unopened in a cool, dry place, ensuring usability for future projects.

Applications:

Armaflex 520 Adhesive is the professional choice for installing Armaflex insulation in HVAC, refrigeration, and plumbing systems. Use it to join seams and butt joints of Armaflex pipe and sheet insulation, ensuring a seamless, water-tight bond that enhances insulation performance. It’s also ideal for adhering Armaflex to metal surfaces like ducts, tanks, chillers, and other equipment, as well as bonding Tubolit polyethylene insulation. Whether you’re insulating air conditioning lines, chilled water pipes, or hot water systems, this adhesive ensures a reliable, long-lasting installation that maintains the thermal efficiency and moisture resistance expected of Armaflex insulation.
