Thermal Insulation Products - Low density range from Caparroso, ES

ROCKWOOL stone wool thermal insulation is a durable and firesafe insulation material that can be used to insulate against heat, cold, fire, vibrations, and noise. ROCKWOOL stone wool is made primarily from abundantly available volcanic rock, an increasing proportion of recycled ROCKWOOL stone wool material and a cured resin binder. Other materials utilised in the production of ROCKWOOL stone wool are waste and by-products from other industries.

Stone wool is available with different densities and thermal conductivities, and it is used in many applications of everyday life, ranging from roofs, loft, walls, floors, to fire prevention solutions and HVAC systems.

ROCKWOOL stone wool is a non-combustible material that does not react to fire. Stone wool’s built-in fire protection is natural and not dependent on flame retardants. Stone wool withstands temperatures exceeding 1000 degrees Celsius, and retains its fire performance throughout its lifetime.

The insulation properties of stone wool is primarily achieved by the immobile air within in the open structure of the product. Therefore, the declared insulation property will remain constant for the declared lifetime of the product. This also allows the product to absorb noise and sound and contribute to a better indoor acoustic climate.

ROCKWOOL stone wool fibres are proven to be safe to manufacture, install and live with. Health and safety installation instructions shall always be followed. ROCKWOOL stone wool fibres comply with the European REACH regulation and do not have any health-related classifications. ROCKWOOL insulation products do not contain flame retardants and blowing agents, and are proven not to have a negative impact on the indoor environment.

Specific characteristics and additional functionalities shall be taken into account when applying the EPDs in the building context:

• Most ROCKWOOL stone wool material is classified as non-combustible (Euroclass A1), the best reaction to fire class according to EN13501-1.
• ROCKWOOL stone wool products are often applied because of their acoustic properties. For example, a well-constructed wall using ROCKWOOL stone wool insulation can help comply with acoustic regulation requirements in average building typologies.
• ROCKWOOL stone wool products are durable without any ageing of the thermal performance. They are dimensional stable and both water repellent and moisture resistant.

More specific product information can be found on www.rockwool.com or through the local ROCKWOOL sales organizations. Guidance on safe and effective installation could be provided through the local organization.

ROCKWOOL stone wool is endlessly recyclable, meaning that it can be recycled again and again without degrading its quality.

ROCKWOOL stone wool waste is classified as non-hazardous. ROCKWOOL insulation waste is covered by the non-hazardous entry (17 06 04) in the List of Waste of the European Waste Catalogue.
