MINERAL WOOL (3536)
Mineral wool is described as insulation material made of wool of glass and stone wool. It is applicable from the cellar up to the roof in a new building or at the renovation of old buildings. Mineral wool often is defined as any fibrous glassy substance made from minerals (typically natural rock materials such as basalt or diabase) or mineral products such as slag and glass. Mineral wool has a unique range of properties combining high thermal resistance with long-term stability. Mineral wool can be divided into two main categories: glass wool and the stone/slag wool. The products are used in essentially the same applications and differ mainly in the raw materials and melting methods following the melting stage, the processes and environmental issues are essentially identical. Glass wool is made from a mixture of natural and recycled glass (recycled bottles, car windscreens and window panes) which is melted at 1,450 °C, where the glass that is produced is converted into fibers. It is typically produced in a method similar to making, forced through a fine mesh by and cooling on contact with the air. The cohesion and mechanical strength of the product is obtained by the presence of a that “cements” the fibers together. Ideally, a drop of binder is placed at each fiber intersection. This fiber mat is then heated to around 200 °C to resin to give it strength and stability. The final stage involves cutting the wool and packing it in rolls or panels (referred to as slabs or batts). Contrary to popular belief that mineral wool properties are defined solely by density, different fibre diameters, lengths, binder contents, additives, cutting and packaging can give a diverse product range.
