MINERAL WOOL INSULATION

What is Mineral Wool Insulation?

Mineral wool insulation is a type of insulation material made from natural or synthetic fibers, typically made from rock or slag. It is a popular choice for HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) applications due to its thermal insulation properties, fire resistance, and durability.

Mineral wool insulation is a traditional and one of the most commonly used insulation materials in the HVAC industry. It is favored because it can sustain both low and high temperatures depending on the application.

Mineral wool insulation is considered a lower-cost alternative to fiberglass wool insulation, offering a wide temperature range, fire resistance, and high durability and sustainability compared to many other insulation materials.

Types of Mineral Wool Insulation:

• Rock Wool: Made from natural rock fibers, such as basalt or diabase.
• Slag Wool: Made from synthetic fibers, typically created from blast furnace slag.
• Fiber Glass-Free Mineral Wool: Made from natural or synthetic fibers without the use of fiberglass.
