Description

ArmaGel DT is a high-performance flexible aerogel insulation blanket specifically designed for applications spanning cryogenic to dual-temperature ranges. This advanced material features a factory-applied aluminum foil facing, providing an excellent integrated zero-perm vapor barrier, crucial for preventing moisture ingress in demanding conditions. ArmaGel DT is compliant with ASTM C1728 Type IV, Grade 1A, ensuring high quality and reliability. Gitco-sa.com is a trusted authorized distributor of Armacell products, including ArmaGel DT, in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain.

The combination of flexible aerogel and the aluminum foil facing offers superior thermal performance and exceptional protection against moisture. Its low thermal conductivity minimizes heat gain or loss across a wide temperature spectrum, from -196°C (-292°F) up to 250°C (482°F). The integrated vapor barrier simplifies installation and ensures long-term insulation integrity. ArmaGel DT is hydrophobic, exhibits low water vapor sorption, and is non-corrosive to steel. It also meets IMO standards for surface flammability and smoke generation & toxicity.
