glass wool and rock wool insulation board differs in their performance. Glass wool has lighter unit weight, lower shot content and thermal conductivity, longer durable years, higher fiber tensile strength. And the maximum temperature that the rockwool can endure is about 600 degrees Celsius while the glass wool is only about 260 degrees Celsius. if it is used for general building insulation or low temperature pipe, you can use glass wool, if it is used at parts where the temperature is about 500 degrees Celsius. rockwool is better. I hope my answers above are helpful to you and your ideal anwers.
Glass wool is an artificial inorganic fibers, a kind of glass fiber. glass wool is mainly made of natural ores such as quartz sand, limestone, dolomite , added with some pure alkali, borax and other chemicals and melting it into class and fibrating the molten glass, thermosetting resin-based environmentally friendly adhesive binder, an inorganic fiber. Glass wool is good-shaped, low bulk density and thermal conductivity, thermal insulation, sound-absorbing properties, corrosion resistance, chemical stability and other characteristics; typical of porous sound-absorbing material with good sound absorption properties. Rockwool: English name(rockwool), belongs to the inorganic material, using basalt, dolomite as the main raw materials. By high temperature melting, man made inorganic fiber by the high-speed centrifugal device with a strong fire insulation properties.
Low density than glass wool rock wool, low shot content, low thermal conductivity, long service life, high tenacity fiber, rock wool, but the maximum use of high temperature up to about 600 degrees Celsius, the glass wool is only about 260 degrees Celsius. Glass wool and rock wool insulation board insulation board product differ in their application . The former one is used in areas where the temperature is below 200 degrees Celsius, such as general buildings and low-temperature pipes while the latter one is used in areas where the temperature is 500 degree Celsius, such as high temperature thermal pipe or eletrical equipments insualtion.
how much is the glass wool insulation board ? From the performance, What are the advantages of glass wool insulation board compared with rock wool insulation board?
