Activair layflat ducting

Activair layflat ducting is manufactured from lightweight polythene tubing, compounded to our own special formula for maximum elasticity, flexibility, toughness, and resistance to splitting and tearing.

Activair layflat ducting is unaffected by moisture and most chemicals. It is resistant to bacterial and fungal growth, and is suitable for use in food preparation areas.

Activair layflat ducts are translucent. The layflat ducts are off-white, although the colour varies with lighting conditions and background colours. The Activair logo and website address are printed in black on one side.

Air temperature for Activair layflat ducting

Activair layflat ducts are designed for use with internal air temperatures between 5 and 65C ( 41 to 150F).

Activair inflatable ducting - duct lengths

Plain layflat ducts. Used to convey air from point to point, for instance between sections of metal ductwork i.e. tee-pieces, elbows, spiral ductwork etc.

Length - no minimum. Maximum limited only by roll size and weight

Perforated layflat ducts. For efficient draft free air distribution.

Length - no minimum. Maximum 30.5m (100ft.)
