Inauguraion of the Münster North site
After a successful move, Armacell officially opened its Münster North site. The new plant consists of three areas: the DuoSolar production, equipment for finishing self-adhesive products and a water-jet cutter.
Elastomeric insulaion materials
achieve Green Guide ‘A’ raing
The renowned independent Building Research Establishment (BRE) has now added pipe insulation to its Green Guide to Specification. Nitrile rubber insulation products such as Armaflex receive an ‘A’ rating, thus confirming their low environmental impact. A points uplift is also awarded for products that hold an independently verified environmen- tal product declaration (EPD).
BREEAM provides information on the overall environmental perfor- mance of a building, covering the planning, construction and in-use phases.

The relocation of these production areas from Herzebrock to Münster has led to shorter supply routes and higher flexibility and also elimi- nated external transport costs. The company has thus been able to greatly increase the efficiency of processes.
Armalex insulaion materials listed by
the Minergie-Eco label
Armaflex products are the first flexible insulation materials to be listed by the Swiss Minergie-Eco label. None of the listed Armacell products violates Minergie-Eco’s exclusion criteria and the halogen-free insula- tion material NH/Armaflex has been rated as “well-suited for Minergie- Eco”. The solvent-free Armaflex SF990 and Armaflex Ultima SF990 adhe- sives even received the highest rating and are listed as “very well-suited”. The Minergie-Eco project helps architects and specifiers to select sus- tainable building materials.
