About Rock wool Insulation
Rock wool (or stone wool) insulation is a high-density, durable, and sustainable mineral wool made from natural volcanic rock (basalt) and recycled slag, spun into fibers

), excellent thermal efficiency, and high acoustic performance, making it ideal for residential, commercial, and industrial walls, roofs, and machinery.Superior Fire Resistance for Safety-Critical EnvironmentsRock wool insulation achieves a Class A1 fire reaction rating, making it completely non-combustible. This ensures optimal safety in industrial facilities where fire hazards are a concern. Additionally, the material resists temperatures up to 750C, providing unwavering protection even under extreme heat. Alongside its fire resistance, the environment remains safe due to the product's odorless and neutral pH characteristics.
Exceptional Sound and Thermal Insulation PerformanceThe product offers remarkable thermal insulation with a conductivity range of 0.035 - 0.045 W/mK, effectively reducing energy costs in industrial applications. Its sound absorption coefficient can reach up to an NRC of 1.0 (subject to thickness), which is ideal for factories, machinery rooms, and other noise-sensitive environments. Moisture and water resistance ensure durability and long-lasting performance.
Eco-Friendly and Versatile Installation SolutionsManufactured with environmental responsibility, this rock wool insulation is both recyclable and eco-friendly. It comes in sizes of 1200 mm x 600 mm and a standard width of 600 mm, with thickness options to suit a range of requirements. Installation is versatile-mechanical fasteners or adhesives can be used depending on the application, offering flexibility for industrial suppliers and traders across India.
