What Is The Difference Between Fiber Glass Wool And Rock Wool?

What Is The Difference Between Fiber Glass Wool And Rock Wool?

2021-03-09

І. Uses and Characteristics

A. Main raw materials: 

Fiber Glass wool: belongs to one category of glass fiber, is a man-made inorganic fiber. Glass wool is a material that fibrosis molten glass and forms cotton.


Rock wool: high-quality basalt, dolomite and other products are used as the main raw materials, after 1450℃ or more high temperature melting, the international advanced four-axis centrifuge high-speed centrifugal fiber

At the same time, a certain amount of binder, dust-proof oil and hydrophobic agent were sprayed into the cotton collecting machine, and the rock wool products with different specifications and uses were formed by the process of pendulum hammer and three-dimensional cotton laying.


B. Characteristics: 

Glass wool: with good molding, small volume density, thermal conductivity, insulation, sound absorption, corrosion resistance, chemical stability.

Rock wool: with light mass, small thermal conductivity, endothermic, non-combustible characteristics.


C. Main uses:

Glass wool: with a large number of tiny air pores, so that it plays the role of heat insulation, sound absorption and noise reduction and safety protection, is the best material for thermal insulation, sound absorption and noise reduction of steel structure buildings.

Rock wool: can be made according to different uses: felt, strip, tube, granular, plate, etc. can be used in nuclear power plants, power plants, chemical plants, large kiln insulation;

Building external insulation, roof and curtain wall insulation, isolation zone; cabin, ship health unit, crew lounge, power warehouse; vegetables, fruits, flowers factory soilless cultivation.

П. Temperature Differentiation

A. Insulation temperature varies

Glass wool: Glass wool is mostly used for insulation parts below 200℃, mostly for building or low temperature pipe insulation.

 Rock wool: rock wool is mostly used for insulation of 500℃ temperature, and heat preservation of high temperature thermal pipeline or power equipment.

 

B. Maximum operating temperature varies

Glass wool: the maximum operating temperature of Glass wool is only about 260℃. 2. rock wool:

Rock wool: the maximum operating temperature is about 600℃.

 

C.Warm reminder

The sound absorption characteristics of centrifugal Glass wool are not only related to thickness and bulk density, but also to covering material, structure and other factors.

In the application of construction, it is necessary to take into account the cost, beauty, fire, moisture, dust and aging resistance.

Scope of application: used in industrial buildings, warehouses, public facilities, exhibition centers, shopping malls, as well as all kinds of indoor playgrounds, sports venues and other buildings insulation, sound absorption and noise reduction.


Ш. Product Performance Differentiation

A.Product performance is different:

Glass wool: Glass wool is lower than rock wool, less slag ball content, low thermal conductivity, long service life, fiber toughness.

Rock wool: the highest use temperature of rock wool is about 600 degrees Celsius, Glass wool is only about 260 degrees Celsius.


B.Different uses of products:

Glass wool: Glass wool is generally used for insulation below 200 degrees Celsius, mostly for general buildings or low temperature pipes,

Rock wool: rock wool is generally used in the temperature of 500 degrees Celsius insulation, mostly used in high temperature thermal pipeline or power equipment insulation.


C. Product bulk density is different:

Glass wool: Glass wool bulk density is 10 kg/m3-64kg/m3, rock wool bulk density is 40 kg/m3-200kg/m3, so the mechanical strength of rock wool is greater than Glass wool.

Rock wool: rock wool is the first choice material for heat preservation and fire prevention of modern exterior wall hanging.

 

Warm reminder:

Notes:

a. base treatment: vertical, flatness within 5 mm. All embedded parts such as water drop pipe and all kinds of line pipe before the fixed plate must be installed according to the design drawings and construction acceptance code. Scaffolding should be above 300 mm from the wall.

b. cut Glass wool board: special knife, saw, ensure the plate size is accurate, cut mouth neat.

c. Glass wool board: to strictly control the thickness, width and straightness of the Glass wool board, it is necessary to ensure that the combination is consistent, and the corner should be bitten and overlapped.

d. Glass wool board surface must not be exposed for a long time, in order to prevent Glass wool board from damp, each Glass wool board is packed in small plastic bags, covered with plastic sheeting at the top of the wall. And outside the installation of dry hanging stone, and timely weatherproof silicone sealant to prevent water seepage.
