Description

To achieve the highest performance and ensure the longevity of your Armacell acoustic solutions, the right accessories are indispensable. Gitco-sa.com, as the authorized distributor for Armacell in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, offers a comprehensive range of accessories for acoustic systems specifically designed to complement products like ArmaSound Barrier E, ArmaSound Barrier D, ArmaSound Supersilence Ductliner, and ArmaSound RD 240. These essential components play a critical role in facilitating proper installation, enhancing system integrity, and maximizing the overall sound attenuation capabilities of your acoustic insulation.

Our selection of acoustic system accessories includes, but is not limited to:

• Armacell Adhesives: Specialized adhesives such as Armacell Adhesive 520 and Adhesive HT625 are formulated to provide reliable and long-lasting bonds for ArmaSound barriers and other acoustic materials, ensuring a secure and airtight installation crucial for effective noise control.
• Stainless Steel Bands and Clips: For mechanical fastening, especially on vertical applications or in high-vibration environments, our stainless steel bands and wing clips (e.g., 19mm wide bands with clips or blind rivets) ensure that acoustic barriers like ArmaSound Barrier E are securely held in place. Stainless steel “S” clips are also vital for additional support on vertical piping and vessels.
• Acoustic Tapes and Sealants: High-performance tapes are used for sealing seams and joints, preventing sound leaks that can compromise the system’s effectiveness. Acoustic sealants provide airtight closures around irregular shapes and penetrations, offering an extra layer of soundproofing.
• Finishing Materials: Where required, finishing materials might include specialized coverings that protect the acoustic insulation from mechanical damage or harsh environmental conditions while maintaining aesthetic appeal.

These accessories are crucial for professional installers and engineers working on commercial, industrial, residential, and OEM projects across Saudi Arabia (including Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam) and Bahrain (Manama). By using genuine Armacell-approved accessories from Gitco-sa.com, you guarantee compatibility, adhere to the manufacturer’s specifications, and ensure your acoustic insulation systems perform to their maximum potential, creating quieter, more productive, and safer environments.

Know more about “Accessories for Acoustic Systems” from Armacell:

1. What are “Accessories for Acoustic Systems” from Armacell?
   These are complementary products (like adhesives, tapes, coatings, and cleaners) specifically designed by Armacell to be used with their acoustic insulation materials (such as ArmaComfort and ArmaSound) to ensure proper installation, long-term performance, and maximum acoustic efficiency.
2. Why are accessories important for acoustic insulation?
   Accessories are crucial because even the best acoustic insulation material can fail if not properly installed and sealed. Gaps, unsealed joints, or improper attachment can allow noise to “flank” or bypass the insulation, significantly compromising the overall acoustic performance of the system.
3. What types of accessories does Armacell offer for acoustic systems?
   Armacell’s range typically includes:
   • Adhesives: For securely bonding insulation materials.
   • Tapes: For sealing joints and seams, and for additional vapor barrier protection.
   • Coatings: For mechanical protection, UV resistance, and aesthetic finish.
   • Cleaners: For preparing surfaces before adhesive application.
4. What is the role of adhesives in acoustic insulation systems?
   Acoustic adhesives (like Armacell’s ArmaFlex 520 adhesive or specific acoustic adhesives) are formulated to provide a strong, durable bond between the acoustic insulation material and the substrate, ensuring continuous coverage and preventing vibration transfer at the contact points.
5. Are specific adhesives recommended for Armacell’s acoustic foams (e.g., ArmaComfort or ArmaSound)?
   Yes, Armacell typically develops and recommends specific adhesives (e.g., ArmaFlex 520, ArmaFlex RS850) that are chemically compatible with their elastomeric and high-performance acoustic foams, ensuring optimal adhesion and long-term performance.
6. What types of tapes are used with acoustic insulation?
   Common tapes include:
   • Self-adhesive jointing tapes: For sealing seams and butt joints in sheet or pipe insulation.
   • Acoustic foam tapes: To seal gaps, cushion surfaces, and dampen vibrations, especially around windows, doors, or between dissimilar materials.
   • Aluminum foil tapes: For additional vapor barrier integrity and mechanical protection, particularly over claddings.
7. How do tapes contribute to acoustic performance?
   Tapes primarily prevent sound leakage through gaps and seams in the insulation. They also provide an airtight seal, which is critical for acoustic performance, as sound travels easily through air. Some foam tapes can also help dampen vibrations.
8. What are the benefits of using Armacell’s own-brand accessories?
   Using Armacell’s specific accessories ensures:
   • Compatibility: Designed to work perfectly with their insulation materials.
   • Optimal performance: Contributes to the tested and certified acoustic performance of the system.
   • Durability: Ensures the longevity and integrity of the insulation system.
   • Warranty compliance: Often a requirement for product warranties.
9. Are there specialized tools required for installing Armacell acoustic systems and their accessories?
   While many accessories are user-friendly, Armacell may recommend specific tools like application brushes for adhesives, sharp knives for precise cutting of insulation, and rollers for ensuring proper tape adhesion to facilitate professional and efficient installation.
10. Do these accessories offer additional protection, such as UV or weather resistance?
    Some coatings and tapes are specifically designed to provide protection against UV radiation, weather, and ozone damage, extending the lifespan of the acoustic insulation when installed in exposed environments.
11. Are the accessories suitable for both indoor and outdoor acoustic applications?
    Depending on the specific accessory, some (like certain coatings or heavy-duty tapes) are designed for outdoor use and exposure to weathering, while others are primarily for indoor applications. Product data sheets will specify.
12. How do accessories impact the lifespan of acoustic insulation?
    Properly applied accessories protect the insulation from environmental degradation (e.g., moisture ingress, UV damage, mechanical abuse), preventing premature deterioration and ensuring the acoustic system functions effectively for its intended lifespan.
13. Are there any cleaning or surface preparation accessories?
    Yes, Armacell often provides or recommends specific cleaners or primers (e.g., ArmaFlex cleaner) to ensure surfaces are free from dust, grease, and contaminants before applying adhesives or tapes, which is critical for proper bonding.
14. Can these accessories be used with acoustic systems from other manufacturers?
    While generally optimized for Armacell products, some generic accessories (like certain types of tapes or cleaning agents) might be compatible. However, for guaranteed performance and warranty, using Armacell’s recommended system accessories is strongly advised.
15. Do accessories help with mold and bacteria growth prevention on acoustic insulation?
    Some Armacell acoustic insulation products (e.g., ArmaComfort) feature built-in Microban® antimicrobial protection. While accessories don’t directly provide this, maintaining a completely sealed and dry system prevents moisture accumulation, which in turn inhibits mold growth.
16. How do claddings relate to acoustic accessories?
    Claddings (like Arma-Chek® R polymeric covering or metal claddings) are often used over acoustic insulation, especially in industrial or outdoor settings, for enhanced mechanical protection and weather resistance. Adhesives and tapes are essential for sealing cladding seams and ensuring their effective integration with the acoustic insulation below.
17. Are these accessories environmentally friendly or low VOC?
    Many modern Armacell adhesives and coatings are formulated to be solvent-free and low VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) to meet environmental standards and ensure healthier indoor air quality. Specific product data sheets should be consulted for details.
