Mineral wool is one of the most commonly used thermal insulation materials. Serves for heat and sound insulation and is manufactured with different properties depending on the purpose of use. This material can be used to thermally insulate the work of pipelines of various technical nature; it is used in industrial and civil construction, in automobile and shipbuilding. Can work in all climate zones.
When using mineral wool made in the form of cylinders, it is convenient to use an adhesive layer to carry out quick installation in difficult conditions (for example, when working at high altitudes).
Another type of mineral wool is a pierced mat. It is based on basalt fiber, and mineral wool is covered with steel or galvanized mesh and stitched with metal wire. This material does not burn. Sometimes such mats are additionally covered with aluminum foil.
The lamella mat consists of stone mineral wool, which has increased strength compared to traditional ones. It is much less deformed during installation. Taped seams and a foil-like coating allow the use of such mats as a vapor barrier layer. When using such mats on cold pipelines, you do not need to install additional vapor barrier. If the mat has special firmware made of glass roving, then it is classified as a non-combustible material. In this case, the temperature of the insulated surface can range from minus 180 ºC to plus 700 ºC.
In particular, mineral wool is also produced in rolls. This type of cotton wool is made of super-thin fiber, does not contain any covering material and is stitched with threads. The temperature for using such mineral wool is from minus 60°C to plus 400°C
