The findings from our joint testing with Air Liquide reveal that all samples of ArmaFlex Ultima exhibited exceptional performance, maintaining robust mechanical properties and low water absorption rates. This performance is pivotal in preventing ice formation on pipes and equipment – a significant risk that can obstruct valves, cause surface corrosion, and potentially damage the system. Compliance with ISO 23766:2022 Method B during testing provided valuable insights into the coefficient of linear thermal expansion, confirming ArmaFlex Ultima’s capacity to withstand and adapt to the intense thermal contraction associated with cryogenic temperatures.
