Mineral wool is manufactured from molten rock, glass or slag that is spun into wool like fibre and bound with resin. The fibres are compressed which trap air creating insulation and sound control attributes. Classified as non-combustible, mineral wool does not conduct heat and can withstand temperatures above 1000°C.
Where noise control is important mineral wool provides significant acoustic ratings. The inorganic nature and bonded structure of mineral wool makes it vermin and insect proof.
Recommended for complete buildings, constructing fire cells, partition walls, and isolating plant rooms where the ambient temperature is above 5°C. Suitable also for cool stores and freezers with correct installation, and vapour barrier installed.
