Rock Wool: The Innovation of Choice for green building and Industrial insulation

In the pursuit of energy conservation, environmental protection and safe development today, rock wool as a high-performance inorganic fiber material, with its unique physical and chemical properties, is becoming a "star material" in construction, industry, agriculture and other fields. Whether it is the fire barrier of high-rise buildings, or the long-term insulation of ship pipelines, rock wool has shown irreplaceable advantages. The following two dimensions from the application range and competitive products, analyze why rock wool has become the first choice in the market.

Ⅰ.A wide range of rock wool application scenarios

1. Construction field

-External wall insulation system : Rock wool board as A class A fireproof material, widely used in high-rise buildings and public facilities of external wall insulation, effective flame retardant and stable thermal insulation performance (thermal conductivity as low as 0.036-0.041 W/(m·K)).

- Fire isolation belt : In the fire can delay the spread of fire, ensure the safety of building structure, especially suitable for places with strict fire requirements.

- Roof insulation : High strength rock wool board combined with waterproof layer, suitable for factories, stadiums and other large-span roofs, both load-bearing and insulation functions.

2. Industrial field

- Equipment and pipe insulation : Rock wool shell and roll felt can flexibly adapt to complex shapes, reduce heat loss, improve energy efficiency, widely used in petroleum, chemical, electric power and other industries.

- Purification engineering: In clean environments such as food, electronics and medical treatment, rock wool purification board has become a key material with moisture-proof and corrosion resistance.

3. Ships and Traffic

- Marine rock wool board light and high strength, can reduce the weight of the hull, while meeting the needs of fire prevention, sound insulation, has gradually replaced the traditional calcium silicate board.

4. Agricultural soilless cultivation

- Rock wool cultivation technology is mature, water retention and permeability is strong, suitable for greenhouse planting, to promote the efficient development of facility agriculture.

Ⅱ. the core advantages of rock wool compared with competitive products

1. Fire resistance is better than traditional materials

Rock wool : Grade A non-combustible material, melting point more than 1000℃, in case of fire does not release toxic gases, to ensure life safety.

Competitive products (such as polystyrene foam EPS): flammable and burning to release harmful substances, fire hazards.

2. Environmental Protection and Sustainability

- Rock wool : basalt as the main raw material, low energy consumption, recyclable, in line with green building standards.

- Competitive products (such as polyurethane foam): VOCs are produced in the production process, difficult to degrade after waste, and high risk of environmental pollution.

3. Multi-functional adaptability

- Wide density range of rock wool (30-200 kg/m³), low density flexible roll felt or high density compression sheet can be customized to meet diverse needs. Most competitive products (such as calcium silicate board) have a single density and limited application scenarios.

Choose rock wool, that is, choose safety, efficiency and future!

Whether it is the fire barrier of landmark buildings or the thermal insulation solution of precision equipment, rock wool enables sustainable development with the power of science and technology. Join hands with industry leading brands to move towards a green new era!
