What are the fire resistance levels of glass wool felt?

5/27/20245 min read

The fire rating of glass wool felt is A level, which is based on the classification of fire rating in GB8624-2012 "Classification of Burning Performance of Building Materials and Products". The A-level fire rating means that the material has non flammability, that is, it will not burn at high temperatures and will not produce toxic and harmful gases, providing a high level of safety protection for buildings.

Glass Wool Insulation

Compared with other insulation materials, the A-level fire resistance rating of glass wool felt is one of its significant advantages. Some common thermal insulation materials, such as some polymer foam, may have a fire rating of B or lower, which means that under the action of high temperature or fire source, these materials may burn, increasing the fire risk. The A-level fire resistance rating of glass wool felt allows it to maintain stable performance in high temperature environments, effectively preventing the spread of fire.

The classification of fire resistance levels is mainly based on the combustion performance of materials under specific temperature and time conditions. Class A is non combustible, B1 level is a flame retardant level, B2 level is combustible level, B3 level is flammable. Each level corresponds to different combustion performance standards and safety requirements to meet the fire protection needs of different buildings and occasions.

The fire resistance performance of glass wool felt has been widely applied in steel structure factories. Due to the use of a large number of metal components in steel structure factories, once a fire occurs, the spread of the fire is extremely fast. The A-level fire resistance rating of glass wool felt can effectively prevent the spread of fire and protect the structural safety of the factory building. At the same time, glass wool felt also has good thermal insulation performance, which helps to maintain temperature stability inside the factory.

In entertainment venues such as KTV, glass wool felt also plays an important role. These places usually require sound isolation and absorption to reduce the impact of noise on other areas. And glass wool felt not only has excellent sound insulation effect, but its A-level fire rating also ensures the safety of the place. Even in the event of a sudden fire, glass wool felt can maintain its stability and integrity, providing valuable time for personnel evacuation and firefighting work.

In addition, glass wool felt is widely used in the field of building insulation such as exterior walls, roofs, floors, indoor partitions, suspended ceilings, central air conditioning ducts, as well as in the insulation and insulation of high-temperature equipment in the petrochemical, metallurgical furnaces, and power industries. Its excellent insulation and fire resistance make glass wool felt an irreplaceable role in these fields.

In terms of specifications and dimensions, the thickness specification of glass wool felt is generally between 25mm and 150mm, the length specification is generally between 10m-30m, and the width specification is generally between 1m and 1.2m. These specifications can be customized according to the actual needs of users to meet the needs of different occasions and projects.

However, the superior performance of glass wool felt is not limited to fire prevention and insulation. Its environmental friendliness is also one of the important reasons why it is widely used. Glass wool roll felt does not produce harmful substances during production and use, and is non polluting to the environment. Meanwhile, due to its recyclable and reusable characteristics, it also conforms to the current pursuit of sustainable development in society.

In modern architecture, glass wool felt has become an important insulation and fireproof material. Its excellent fire resistance, good insulation effect, and environmental friendliness make it stand out among many insulation materials and become a new favorite in the field of architecture.

Looking ahead to the future, with the progress of technology and the increasing attention of people to safety, environmental protection, energy conservation and other issues, the performance and application fields of glass wool felt will also continue to expand. We have reason to believe that glass wool felt will play a more important role in building insulation and fire prevention in the future, creating a safer, more comfortable, and environmentally friendly environment for our lives.

Overall, glass wool felt has been widely used in various construction and industrial fields due to its A-level fire resistance, excellent insulation performance, and environmental protection characteristics. It not only meets people's needs for safety, comfort, and energy conservation, but also conforms to the trend of sustainable development in society. In the future, we look forward to glass wool felt continuing to leverage its advantages and bringing more convenience and security to our lives.
