Question:

How about the thermal insulation performance of glass wool?

Answer:

Glass wool is good, it belongs to glass fibers, which is a man-made inorganic fiber. Glass wool is a cotton-like material which fiberizes molten glass. It can be classified as glass according to its chemical composition. It has advantages of excellent welding performance, small bulk density, low thermal conductivity, good thermal insulation and sound absorption, corrosion resistance, and chemical stability.
If the temperature is up to 700 degrees, then there is no need to use the glass wool. Glass wool has better performance in low temperature than that of aluminum silicate. Glass wool will be useless in high temperature of 700 degrees.
The features of glass wool mainly include light weight, easy installation, high thermal insulation efficiency, low hygroscopicity, and strong vibration resistance. Fibers of raw materials of glass wool are relatively even in terms of length and thickness, they are closely intertwined during processing procedures. The interwoven structure and its heat conduction are at a right angle, which can effectively retain heat. It operates simply during installation and use, simple common tools are needed to cut. Meanwhile, there will not be disjointed or stretched in use. There are a lot of tiny air voids in the glass wool, thus the physical property is also relatively stable. It is commonly used in various heating, ventilation, tank, air-conditioning adjustment, the performance of which is significant. Of course, the glass wool can also be customized, we can make glass wool with special specification according to your requirements. Using glass wool as thermal insulation materials has been a very long time, and we found that in a quite a long comparison test, the thermal insulation performance is fairly stable, which will not lead to accidents in use.
It is good. The heat conductivity coefficient of glass wool is 0.043, the heat preservation property of which is less than that of rock wool of 0.041. The thermal insulation performance and fireproofness are better than that of glass wool, but the price of it is also higher than that of glass wool. But the site construction operation of rock wool is not as good as that of glass wool. If it is a direct composite of production line, then it has nothing to worry about.
Rubber and plastic insulation materials and centrifugal glass wool boards have their own advantages. Rubber and plastic is a foam material with easy installation, soft and delicate, is mainly used in the air conditioner. Centrifugal glass wool board is fiber products, some people will be allergic to it. It can resist 400 degrees, and has a good thermal insulation performance, is mainly used in buildings and underground pipelines. They are approved thermal insulation construction products.
