Cam -wool insulation

Modern stone cotton wool can produce in two ways: from basalt rocks and waste of metallurgical production, In the form of slag. As building material it was known for more than a century and a half. The most popular are such brands: Technonikol, Rockwool, EcoVER and a dozen more items.

The use of stone cotton wool in construction

Reducing heat loss, is a priority task in construction. In addition, you have to solve issues with sound insulation, corrosion and the prevention of the fire of buildings. All these problems, Maybe, Solve thanks to the use of special materials.

Stone cotton wool, made from materials, which were formed due to cooling after exposure to high temperatures, has the following important characteristics:

• Hydrophobic - the ability not to moisten with liquid;
• High vapor permeability - the ability to pass through its surface of the pair and condensate, formed in the inner part of the premises;
• resistance to biological and chemical reagents - is a passive material to chemical interactions;
• not attacked by rodents, Due to its composition;
• resistant to mold and fungi, Thanks to its structure;
• does not burn or smolder;
• Sound vibrations, which makes it possible to increase sound insulation.

Thanks to this maximum set of characteristics, Cam -wool insulation I am in demand in construction. The most important argument, in favor of stone cotton wool, there is an environmental safety of the product. This is achieved complete neutralization of phenol, which is included in the processing cycle of material.

Depending on the purpose of the stone cotton wool, It is produced by different densities and with different technical characteristics. therefore, Using a particular brand of cotton wool, you need to know exactly its direct purpose. The main advantages of the material, listed above, remain unchanged.

Types of basalt insulation and its use

Paramount use - for thermal insulation of roofs and walls. Thanks to a special structure, the presence of porous voids between fibers, Stone cotton wool has a very low thermal conductivity. This makes it possible to save with 1 Square of the surface of the material, more 1 T conditioning fuel. The melting temperature of the fiber is more 1000 °C, which allows you to use the material - as in simple buildings, and with increased fire hazard.

The constancy of geometric sizes, When conducting insulation work, allows you to lay it in systems, subject to heavy loads. Depending on the conditions of application, it can be compressed or bend, followed by restoration of the original form, Without loss of structure. Such Vata properties won the low -rise building market.

Industrial construction, also found its niche as a basalt insulation. The dielectric properties were appreciated here, resistance to aggressive substances, high degree of absorption of sounds. Besides, Such material is perfectly cut, which allows it to cut it, size. Therefore, it is available in use for rigidly fixed structures.

Such a heater is available in the form: stitched or lamella mats, Hard or semi -rigid slabs, Rolls, Covered with dense foil.

The cost of stone wool is different, Due to the variety of forms of release, But this in no way affects the technical characteristics and convenience in working with it.
