Question:

Which is better, roofing rock wool or glass wool?

Which is better, roofing rock wool or glass wool?

Answer:

And glass wool is a kind of glass fiber, is a man-made inorganic fiber. Glass wool is the molten glass fibrosis, the formation of cotton like material, chemical composition of glass, is a kind of inorganic fibers. With good forming, small volume density, thermal conductivity, both thermal insulation, sound-absorbing performance, corrosion resistance, chemical stability.
Rock wool: also known as asbestos, is a kind of mineral cotton. A fluffy short staple fiber made from natural rock and minerals. Rock wool is a kind of inorganic fiber made of natural rock, such as Xuan Wuyan, gabbro, dolomite, iron ore, bauxite and so on. It is made by melting and fibrosis at high temperature. Rock wool, used for ablation resistant, high temperature resistant insulating material; sound-absorbing material, insulation building materials and equipment; and natural asbestos substitute for cement products, rubber reinforcing materials and high temperature sealing material, high temperature filter material and high temperature catalyst carrier etc.. 1., insulation performance: good insulation performance, rock wool, slag cotton products basic characteristics. 2., combustion performance 3., sound insulation performance: rock wool, slag cotton products, with excellent sound insulation and sound absorption performance.
Glass wool than low density rock wool, slag ball less content, low thermal conductivity, long service life, high toughness fiber, but the maximum use temperature of high rock wool up to 600 degrees Celsius, glass wool is only 260 degrees celsius.
