Detailed Information
Key features
Rockwool insulation provides critical performance advantages over other materials, making it a robust choice for industrial and commercial projects.
- Exceptional Fire Resistance:
Non-combustible with a melting point above 1000°C, providing a vital fire barrier and slowing the spread of flames.
- High Thermal Performance:
Excellent thermal conductivity, ensuring minimal heat loss or gain and contributing to significant energy savings.
- Superior Acoustic Absorption:
The dense, non-directional fiber structure effectively traps sound waves, offering outstanding noise reduction and sound dampening.
- Water Repellent (Hydrophobic):
Resists water ingress and moisture absorption, preserving the insulating value and preventing the growth of mildew and corrosion under insulation (CUI).
- Durability and Stability:
Dimensionally stable across a wide temperature range, ensuring the insulation retains its shape and performance over the long term.
- Environmentally Conscious:
Made from natural volcanic rock (basalt) and recycled materials, making it a sustainable insulation choice.
Applications
Rockwool insulation is essential for protecting personnel, assets, and processes in high-stress environments.
- Industrial Plants:
Insulating high-temperature equipment, furnaces, chimney stacks, and power generation components.
- Petrochemical and Oil & Gas:
Critical insulation for vessels, storage tanks, and hot piping, especially for fire protection.
- Building Envelope:
Thermal and acoustic insulation of internal and external walls, concrete slab floors, and flat or pitched roofs.
- HVAC Systems:
Used for insulating air conditioning ducts, air handling units (AHUs), and ventilation systems for both thermal and acoustic benefits.
- Marine & Offshore:
Fire-rated partitions and decks on ships and offshore platforms.
Facing Options
We offer Rockwool products with various facings to meet specific project requirements for vapor control, finish, and added fire safety.
- Aluminum Foil (FSK):
Provides a clean, reflective finish and acts as an effective vapor barrier to prevent condensation.
- Galvanized/Stainless Steel Wire Mesh:
Used for LRB mattresses to add mechanical strength and maintain integrity at very high temperatures.
- Black/White Glass Fibre Tissue:
Offers a neat, durable finish, often used in acoustic applications to prevent fiber shedding.
- Plain/Unfaced:
Used where facing is not required, or for loose wool applications and rigid boards within an enclosure.
Temperature Range
Rockwool is renowned for its resilience in extreme heat applications.
- Operating Temperature:
Typically rated for continuous use up to 750°C (1382°F) depending on the product type and density.
- Melting Point:
The material itself remains stable up to temperatures exceeding 1000°C (1832°F).
Size, Density & Thickness
Our range of Rockwool products is available in specifications suitable for all major industry standards.
- Density:
Available in a wide range from 40 kg/m³ to 200 kg/m³, with higher densities offering greater compressive strength and acoustic performance.
- Thickness:
Generally available in thicknesses from 25 mm to 150 mm, allowing for customization based on required R-value (thermal resistance) or fire rating.
- Size:
Standard slabs and mats are available in common industrial sizes, while pipe sections are pre-slit to match standard pipe diameters.
