Rockwool is a natural insulation material formed by melting basalt rock, which is a volcanic rock, at 1350oC-1400oC and turning it into fiber. What are the properties of rockwool insulation materials? The answer to this question is provided in this article.
Multifunctional Area of Use
Rockwool insulation materials are used in exterior insulation, between partition walls, roof insulation, steel structure insulation and furnace insulation.
Multi-Functional Feature
Rockwool insulation materials are used not only in thermal insulation but also in sound insulation and fire insulation.
Heat Resistance
Since it is resistant to temperatures above 1000 degrees, buildings with rock wool jacketing are in a structure that cares about human life. It prevents the spread of fire during fire and makes it easier for firefighters to do their job. At the same time, rockwool does not contribute to toxic smoke emission. From apartment blocks to skyscrapers, from industrial facilities to schools, it helps us build sustainable and safe cities full of fire-resistant buildings.
Low Heat Conductivity
Since the thermal conductivity of rock wool insulation materials is low, heat passages from inside to outside or from outside to inside are prevented.
Acoustic Capability
The rock wool structure is designed to isolate vibrations and noise from urban transportation systems. It minimizes the harmful effects of noise on people and buildings. It reduces the noise you hear inside your home by40%.
Durability
Rockwool materials do not deform over time, they do not lose their properties. Since they are inorganic, they cannot be destroyed by organisms. It has a unique physical structure that maintains its shape and hardness despite changes in temperature or humidity. This dimensional stability means that its performance has not changed over the decade and provides maintenance savings over the life of the building. Thanks to its intelligent fiber structure, rockwool is also easy to install. It adapts to all kinds of irregularities, does not leave any gaps in the insulation layer and does not sag. This helps to maintain fresh air by maintaining your indoor comfort.
Water-repellent feature
Rockwool materials keep water on the surface when exposed to water, the layer where the water repellent feature is found is the fiber in rockwool. The fiber prevents the water from advancing towards the inner layers. It protects buildings against the effects of harsh weather conditions.
Conforms to Recycling
Rockwool can be easily removed when a building is renovated or demolished and recycled into new products. Thus, it can be transformed into new rock wool again and again.
