Description

Armacell ArmaFlex® Cutting-Set Knife Kit: Achieving a vapor-tight seal on chilled water pipes, refrigeration lines, and ductwork depends heavily on the precision of your insulation cuts. Standard utility knives often snag or tear elastomeric foam, leaving uneven edges that cause weak adhesive bonds, air gaps, and thermal bridging.

The Armacell ArmaFlex® Cutting-Set (CUTTING-SET-1) is specifically manufactured for thermal insulation contractors and MEP specialists. Featuring three varying blade lengths and a dedicated honing stone, this kit allows installers to make smooth, exact cuts through flexible rubber sheets, thick-walled tubes, complex elbow miters, and valve covers.

Key Performance Advantages

• Smooth, Non-Serrated Precision: Specially honed non-serrated blades slice through elastomeric rubber without tearing, leaving a clean surface for maximum adhesive contact.

• Versatile Blade Lengths: Includes three distinct blade sizes to easily cut everything from thin-walled pipe sleeves to heavy-gauge elastomeric sheets and continuous rolls.

• Integrity of Seams: Cleanly cut seam faces allow ArmaFlex 520 Adhesive or HT625 Adhesive to weld the material homogeneously, maintaining long-term vapor barrier performance.

• Included Sharpening Stone: Comes equipped with a dedicated honing stone to restore razor-sharp edges right on the job site.

• Durable & Ergonomic: Ergonomically designed handles provide grip control and safety during continuous manual cutting tasks.

What’s Included in the ArmaFlex Cutting-Set (CUTTING-SET-1)

1. Small Pointed Knife (90 mm Blade / 180 mm Total): Ideal for intricate work, small-diameter pipe tubes, and cutting out complex valve shapes.

2. Medium Pointed Knife (140 mm Blade / 250 mm Total): Excellent for standard tube wall thicknesses and mid-sized sheet cuts.

3. Large Pointed Knife (170 mm Blade / 280 mm Total): Designed for deep cuts through thick-wall insulation tubes, thick elastomeric sheets, and multi-layer installations.

4. Honing / Sharpening Stone: Keeps all blades at maximum sharpness for consistent, effort-free cutting.
