From duct
to diffusion
in total safety.
Where
when
and why
The duct conveys air that, to get
to the diffusers in constrained spaces
or in rooms with a complex design,
needs branches.
The flexible duct is the most delicate
ring of HVAC installations:
it has indeed to preserve the quality
and the performances of the duct.
Flex Active is the flexible duct that
provides concrete safety
and a certified quality of air
by proving excellent resistance
against all kinds of mechanical
and thermal stresses.
what
how
Flex Active is the only patented
aluminium flexible duct produced
with the ALPactive natural
antimicrobial technology that grants
a safe and efficient air distribution,
protecting people’s health
and the environment and paying
attention at the same time
to energy savings.
Flex System Active is the set
of accessories (duct, antimicrobial
neck and fastening strip) that makes
of ALPactive a complete range
able to grant the continuity of the
antimicrobial system on the whole
installation, with consequent evident
and tangible benefits for the health.
The ALPactive natural antimicrobial
technology makes of the flexible duct
an antimicrobial agent.
Thanks to the combined activity of the
zeolite and the silver ions incorporated
into the aluminium surface, it turns
the duct into a means active against
600 families of microorganisms.
The efficacy of the system in inhibiting
the formation of microbial breeding
grounds inside the flexible duct,
and consequently in drastically reducing
the risk of microbial contamination
of the supply air, has been proved
by studies and researches carried out
by the Innovation Department
of the Italian Minister of Health.

Antimicrobial
Flex Active is available in two versions:
Non-insulated (Flex Active)
the ideal duct for ordinary installations
• two reinforced aluminium layers (thickness 30 micron) kept together by a spiral-shaped stainless steel wire;
• inner treatment with natural antimicrobial.
Flex System Active:
safe also
in the most
critical sites.
Insulated (IsoFlex Active)
the ideal solution for higher energy savings
• two reinforced aluminium layers (thickness 30 micron) kept together by a spiral-shaped stainless steel wire;
• treated with natural antimicrobial;
• intermediate insulation with PET liner (thickness 20 mm);
• external double layer of reinforced aluminium (thickness 30 micron).
The flexible duct is available in six different diameters, from 102 mm up to 315 mm,
to meet with the specific needs of any application.
The range is completed by a neck, also treated with the Active antimicrobial,
that allows the connection between the duct and the flexible duct by granting
the continuity of the antimicrobial properties throughout the installation.
The technology is active against a lot
of pathogens* among which:
• Legionella pneumophila

• Escherichia coli
