What is stonewool?
Stone wool is produced by melting minerals from volcanic rocks at very high temperatures and turning them into fibers. Stone wool provides heat, sound and fire insulation in the buildings where it is applied. Rockwool is obtained from volcanic rocks found in nature, which have superior properties than other stones in terms of minerals and chemical properties. It is a mostly preferred material due to its quality, durability and wide range of usage areas in insulation.
What are the Usage Areas?
Thermal insulation: Since the thermal conductivity declared value of stone wool (10 0c) is lower than 0.035 ≤ λ ≤ 0.040 W/mK, it provides thermal insulation up to 90%.
Fire Insulation: Stonewool, usage temperature is between -50/+750°C. According to TS EN 13501-1, it is in the A1 class, which is non-combustible materials.
Sound Insulation: Stone wool, which is one of the insulation materials that absorbs sound best, is used especially in acoustic arrangements. It provides sound insulation between 40-90% according to EN ISO standards.
Moisture and Moisture Insulation : Since stone wool does not corrode and rust, it is durable for many years, does not rot, mold or deteriorate. Water vapor diffusion resistance is µ=1, which is the same value as air.
