As for fireproofing material rock wool and glass wool, which one is better?
First of all, glass wool and rock wool fireproof materials, rock wool and glass wool belong to Class A fireproofing rating, secondly, rock wool can endure high temperature of 800 degrees, glass wool high temperature of 450 degrees, again,unit weight of rock wool is relatively heavier and unit weight of glass wool is lighter, finally, glass wool has better waterproof performance.
As for fireproofing effect, the effect of rock wool is certainly better than glass wool , the highest temperature of rock wool is 1100 ℃, but the temperature of glass wool is only 600 ℃. In addition, if it's used in the external walls, then,unit weight of the glass wool is limited,and high unit weight can only be 60-90, but unit weight of rock wool can reach over 140, now external wall can't use glass wool, and only rock wool is A class fireproofing material. glass wool has lower thermal conductivity, rock wool has longer fiber length,as for the price, tons price of glass wool is more expensive than rock wool, but if it's acculated by square, square price of glass wool is cheaper than rock wool.
Rock wool board and glass?wool?board are a kind of new construction thermal insulation material, it's widely applied in construction and has replaced traditional thermal insulation material to some degree. With the gradually deepening study of rock wool board, glass wool board, we can find that these insulation materials have advantages in many aspects but there are also many deficiencies, particularly there exists a lot of controversy about the impact on the human body. The production process of rock wool board and glass?wool?board usually includes: after melting in high temperature of rock or glass, inorganic fiber is produced by high-speed centrifugation equipment, and at the same time add binder,dust?laying?oil,silicone oil at certain proportion, then produce sheet material according to different requirements. It has good thermal insulation properties, mechanical?property, sound absorption characteristics, belong to incombustible?material and is cheap. In general, insulation, security and economy should not be contradictory, three aspects should be taken into account, balanced chosen and developed. Rock wool board and glass wool board and other such materials should be properly selected and applied to the appropriate structure, so that the choice of material will play their strengths and avoid their weaknesses.
