Rockwool 50MM(48 KG DENSITY)

ROCKWOOL 50mm (48 kg/m³ Density) Description & Technical Specifications

Description:

Rockwool, also known as mineral wool or stone wool, is a type of insulation material made from natural basalt rock and recycled materials. When heated, the basalt rock melts and is spun into fibers that form a dense, durable, and non-combustible insulation material. Rockwool insulation is widely used in buildings for thermal, acoustic, and fire resistance properties.

The 50mm thickness with a density of 48 kg/m³ is commonly used in applications where moderate insulation is required. It provides effective noise reduction, thermal insulation, and fire resistance while being lightweight and easy to install. This particular product is commonly used in both residential and commercial applications for walls, roofs, ceilings, and floors.

Key Features:

• Thermal Insulation: Rockwool 50mm provides excellent thermal resistance, helping to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures and reduce energy consumption.
• Acoustic Insulation: The fibrous structure of Rockwool offers effective sound absorption, reducing noise transmission between rooms or from external sources.
• Fire Resistance: Rockwool is non-combustible and can withstand temperatures up to 1,000°C (1,832°F), making it an ideal choice for fireproofing applications.
• Water and Moisture Resistance: Rockwool does not absorb water, maintaining its insulation performance even in humid or wet conditions.
• Sustainability: Made from natural volcanic rocks and recycled materials, Rockwool insulation is environmentally friendly and can be recycled.

Technical Specifications for ROCKWOOL 50mm (48 kg/m³ Density)

Applications:

• Building Insulation: Commonly used in residential and commercial buildings for insulating walls, roofs, ceilings, and floors.
• Acoustic Insulation: Ideal for soundproofing applications in offices, theaters, music studios, and industrial facilities.
• Fire Protection: Used in fire-resistant walls, partitions, and other structures where fireproofing is a priority.
• Industrial and Commercial Insulation: For HVAC ducts, piping, and industrial machinery where both thermal and acoustic insulation are required.

Advantages:

• Energy Efficiency: The high thermal resistance of Rockwool helps to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures, reducing the need for heating or cooling, thus lowering energy costs.
• Fire Safety: With a high melting point and non-combustible properties, Rockwool significantly improves fire safety in buildings.
• Acoustic Control: Helps reduce noise levels both from external sources and between rooms within a building.
• Durability: Rockwool is long-lasting and does not degrade over time or with exposure to moisture, ensuring consistent performance throughout its lifetime.
• Sustainability: It is made from natural materials and can be recycled, contributing to a more sustainable built environment.

Limitations:

• Handling: Like many fibrous insulation materials, Rockwool may cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and lungs if proper protective equipment (e.g., gloves, masks, and goggles) is not worn during installation.
• Cost: Rockwool may be more expensive than other insulation materials like fiberglass, although its enhanced properties justify the price in certain applications.
