How long is the fire endurance of the rock wool board?

How long is the fire endurance of the rock wool board?

Answer:

In the fire?safety?rules, of the building materials are classified as non-burning combustion body, difficult to burn the body and burning body categories depending on its difficulty level of burning. Rock wool board is the fiber processed by the coated steel sheet and basalt minerals and other inorganic minerals,and the building panels through artificial composition. Because that the dominant sectors, like, steel plate and rock wool are non-combustible materials, so it should be considered as non-combustible?component. The fire resistance of rock wool board has its judging criteria. Loss of support capacity, loss of integrity and loss fire insulation function. Its fire resistance is within 2 hours.
The rock wool board takes the basalt as raw material and is processed into artificial inorganic fiber through high temperature melting, which is light in weight, non-combustible, heat absorptive, small in thermal conductivity. The initial development in construction is a common type of application used for industrial buildings, which should be consistent with the requirements of "building insulation application categories and basic requirements" . In June 1981 the pre-launch succeeds. The rock wool board is a new type of insulation, burning compartment and sound-absorbing material. Generally the fire resistance of the rock wool board is 140-180 degree within two hours, It is best not to exceed this safe period, in order to avoid security risks.
Some time ago we did an experiment, the result is no change in the burning 30 minutes. The following is the picture of rock wool after the test .
Hello. The limit is up to 2 hours. Of course such a thing is not desirable.
When the average temperature reaches 140 degrees Celsius or 180 degrees Celsius, it starts to lose the fire insulation function.
