Advantages of basalt wool applications

Due to the differences in its manufacturing equipment, processes and raw and auxiliary materials used, basalt wool is not only superior to low-end rock wool produced using traditional processes and equipment in terms of application, but also superior to slag.

1. Non-flammable

Rock wool is made of rock (basalt), and its melting point exceeds 1000℃, so it is non-flammable. Rock wool itself will not be ignited, nor will it support combustion of other materials, causing greater disasters, and will not produce toxic gases.If a fire occurs, rock wool products can win more precious escape time for people in danger, thereby protecting the lives and property of people. According to the standard EN test, rock wool belongs to the non-flammable category and is ranked A1 (the highest level of non-combustible materials).

2. Thermal insulation

The thermal insulation and heat preservation of rock wool can not only help reduce the flow of outdoor heat into the room, but also reduce the outflow of indoor cold air, so as to keep the indoor temperature stable and comfortable. Rock wool products have a unique fiber structure inside, and there are tens of thousands of micro air cavitation structures inside the product, which ensures that rock wool products have good thermal insulation performance.

3. Solid and durable

Rock wool is solid and durable, and the thermal insulation performance of the product will not fail over time. If the rock wool products are installed and applied properly, the product will not deform even if the surrounding temperature and humidity environment changes. Rock wool is inorganic, and because of its chemical inactivity, the product's performance remains unchanged even after the passage of time.

4. Noiseproof performance

The fiber structure of rock wool gives the product efficient noise absorption ability, and the product's noise prevention and control has a wide range of applications. The thicker the rock wool product, the better the noise absorption of the product.

5. Safe use

Rock wool products are very safe to use, so they are used in homes and buildings and are harmless to people's health.

6. Pest and insect prevention

Rock wool is an inorganic substance. It does not contain any nutrients and cannot provide nutrients for microorganisms (or pests, etc.), so it will not be eroded by any microorganisms. Therefore, rock wool products will not promote the growth of fungi, bacteria, or other microorganisms.

7. Waterproof performance

Rock wool is waterproof, but water vapor can freely penetrate its internal fiber structure. This means that rock wool products can insulate but will not absorb water, and the R value of the product (representing thermal insulation performance) will not be affected. In addition, rock wool products are completely resistant to decay. The product will never rot, grow, soften, or breed bacteria, thus creating a safer indoor environment for people's lives.
