What is Rock Wool?
Rock wool, also known as mineral wool or stone wool, is a fibrous material made from natural rock, primarily basalt or diabase, which is melted at high temperatures and then spun into fibers. This inorganic material is commonly used in the construction industry for thermal insulation, fireproofing, and soundproofing applications. Rock wool is non-combustible and has excellent fire-resistant properties, as well as high-temperature resistance, making it suitable for use in extreme environments.
Properties of Rock Wool Panels
Excellent Thermal Insulation
Rock wool panels have excellent
thermal resistance, effectively reducing heat transfer and maintainingindoor temperatures, which helps in energy conservation.Fire Resistance
Rock wool is non-flammable and offers excellent fire
resistance. It can withstand high temperatures without breaking down or promoting combustion.Sound Absorption
Rock wool has outstanding acoustic properties,
capable of absorbing noise and reducing sound transmission. This makes it ideal for use in areas like concert halls, cinemas, and offices.Durability
Rock wool panels are resistant to aging and moisture,
making them suitable for use in harsh environments with long-lasting performance.Environmentally Friendly
The material is non-toxic, does not release
harmful gases, and poses no health risks to humans.Common Specifications
Rock Wool panels are often customized to meet specific needs, but some common specifications include:
Thickness
Typically ranges from 25mm to 100mm, though thicker panels can be made upon request.
Density
Common densities range from 80-150kg/m³, with higher densities offering better insulation performance.
Size
Standard sizes are 1200mm×600mm, though custom dimensions can also be provided depending on project requirements.
Surface Treatment
Depending on the application, various surface treatments are available, such as aluminum foil, fiberglass mesh, or polyester facing, to enhance the panel's durability and aesthetic appeal
Applications
Due to its superior performance, rock wool panels are widely used in
the following areas:- Construction: Used for thermal insulation, fireproofing, and
soundproofing in walls, roofs, and floors of buildings. - Industrial: Commonly used for insulation and heat resistance in boilers, pipes, air ducts, HVAC units, and other industrial equipment.
- Soundproofing: Rock wool is also used in noise-sensitive environments such as music studios, theaters, and conference rooms.
- Fireproof Barriers: In high-rise buildings, underground structures, or any areas with high fire safety requirements, rockwool panels can be used as a fireproof barrier.
- Construction: Used for thermal insulation, fireproofing, and
Conclusion
Rock wool panels are versatile, high-performance materials used for thermal insulation, fireproofing, and soundproofing. Their excellent properties make them an essential part of modern construction and industrial applications.
