Rock wool is a kind of inorganic fiber material, because of its excellent performance of fire prevention, thermal insulation, sound absorption and sound insulation, so it is often used in construction, industry, oil pipeline and other fields. Below, the rock wool manufacturer summarizes the common problems of rock wool insulation materials and gives answers, hoping to help you.

1. How is rock wool insulation material made?

Rock wool insulation material is the use of basalt, pyroxene and other minerals, through a certain proportion of mixing, using 1400℃ high temperature melting, using the pendulum method at a certain speed and pressure to spray, and after rapid solidification, the formation of fibrous substances. The formed fibrous material is sent to the curing kiln, and the binder inside the fiber is cured by heating, and an appropriate amount of protective agent is added for treatment. Finally, the cured rockwool material can be cut and packaged as needed for easy transportation and use.

2. Can rock wool insulation materials be recycled?

Rock wool insulation material can be recycled. Rock wool recycling methods include mechanical crushing, chemical recovery, incineration recovery and other ways.

3, rock wool insulation material soaked in water can also be used?

If the rock wool insulation material is soaked, it will usually be affected to a certain extent, depending on the time of immersion, the situation of immersion, and the specific type of rock wool material. In general, rockwool is slightly soaked and partially wet, and it can continue to be used after drying. If the rockwool is severely flooded, it can no longer be used.

4. Is rock wool insulation material harmful to health?

In the production and construction process of rock wool insulation materials, there will be tiny fiber particles, which may affect the human respiratory system, such as irritating the respiratory tract and irritating the skin. Therefore, in the production and construction process need to do a good job of protection, in addition to avoid the exposure of rock wool insulation materials.

5. How long does it take for rock wool insulation material to decompose?

Rock wool insulation is usually made of mineral fibers, which degrade more slowly in the natural environment. Specifically, rockwool insulation takes hundreds of years or more to fully decompose.

6, who invented rock wool insulation material

Rock wool insulation material was not invented by anyone, but the Hawaiian islanders found a plume of soft rock after melting on the ground after the eruption, which is rock wool. Then it simulated the scene of a volcanic eruption to create today's rock wool insulation.

The above is the common questions and answers of rock wool insulation materials, hoping to help you better understand rock wool.
