6 Mission & Vision Mission As inventors of flexible elastomeric foams for insulation, we focus on developing safe, innovative thermal, acoustic and mechanical solutions and systems that create value for our customers in a sustainable way. Vision Being the global leader for flexible technical foams by providing value through continually innovating products and systems to improve thermal, acoustic and mechanical efficiency in all targeted applications.

7 7 Innovation Quality Customer support Sustainability What Armacell stands for

8 Innovation As the inventor of flexible technical insulation materials, Armacell has been setting new standards in the industry for decades. Research and development centre with attached testing and fire laboratory 15 patents in the last three years We develop solutions for a vast number of specific industry requirements Continuous improvements and own technologies for production processes Armacell has contributed to national and European standardization and chairs important technical committees and groups for the FEF and PEF industry

9 Innovation Armaflex Ultima The first low-smoke flexible insulation material for increased people safety First flexible closed-cell insulation materials with Euroclass B L -s1,d0 Increased safety through superior fire performance and reduced smoke density Meets the requirements for sustainable construction Excellent protection against water-vapour diffusion for long-term performance Reduces energy losses and minimizes CO₂ emissions Reliable system solution with Armafix Ultima, tapes and adhesives

10 Thermal conductivity tests Fire tests Water-vapour diffusion resistance tests Quality Armacell stands for the highest quality standards in FEF and PEF product manufacturing from raw material to final product Continuous internal and external product quality tests go far beyond mandatory requirements Fulfils international and national regulations ISO 9001 and ISO certification for the vast majority of manufacturing sites Unique application-oriented product testing

11 Customers certified Customers trained Companies trained Customer support To help customers achieve their goals wherever they use Armacell products. Armacell conducts hundreds of professional application training sessions at its own wellequipped training facilities, on customer job sites or at external training centres Armacell provides several further services Customer Service Centre ArmWin calculation program Specifier texts Technical bulletins & FAQs Application manuals and videos Armacell offers unrivalled support for the trade

12 Sustainability Armaflex saves 140 times more energy over its life-time than is needed to manufacture the product. Positive carbon footprint Environmental initiatives at Armacell facilities Armacell production waste is recyclable A member and supporter of major sustainability organizations In line with environmental product schemes (LEED, BREAM)

14 Condensation control for building equipment and industrial installations Installations in these environments often deal with line temperatures which are below ambient temperatures. When improperly insulated, water vapour ingress and thermal losses may cause condensation or inefficient functioning of the equip-ment. The closed-cell structure of Armaflex insulation materials provides an excellent built-in water-vapour barrier and a very low thermal conductivity. These key factors keep the temperatures of the medium stable and prevent condensation from forming. Armacell products:

15 Energy efficiency in residential buildings One of the simplest, most inexpensive and effective energysaving measures is to insulate the pipes of plumbing, heating and solar systems. Energy losses can be reduced by up to 87% and the payback period can be just 7 months. Armaflex has very good thermal insulation properties. Depending on the type of rubber, the thermal conductivity lies between and W/(mK) at a mean temperature of 0 C. Armacell products:

16 Healthy indoor environments in public buildings The Insulation of building equipment must avoid microbial pollution and emission of spores, cells, fragments and volatile organic compounds (VOC) into indoor air, as these may contribute to the sick building syndrome. Mould and mildew, growing in areas of excess moisture in combination with dust and dirt, may also initiate biological or chemical degradation of materials. Armaflex insulation materials are dust- and fibre-free and have an inbuilt passive antimicrobial protection. Armacell products with Microban antimicrobial technology offer additional levels of protection, preventing mould and bacteria from settling throughout the life of the installation. Armacell products:

17 Security in industrial, marine and petrochemical environments One of the greatest challenges for insulation in oil and gas, marine and petrochemical industrial environments is corrosion under insulation (CUI). System failure and downtimes cause huge losses and must be avoided at all cost in this type of in-dustry. In addition, people safety, noise control and the protection of surrounding ecosystems are of the highest importance. Armacell is aware of the high risks and harsh environments. It has partners in all phases of the project and has developed dedicated insulation systems for these industries. Armacell products:
