About stone wool Rock wool is a type of thermal-sound insulation that is produced from basalt igneous rock. Basalt rock is melted to a temperature of 1500 degrees Celsius to transform it into very fine fibers with a diameter of microns. These fibers are used to prepare stone wool. Resin and oil are the other constituents of stone wool, which account for a very small part of stone wool. Due to the high temperature tolerance of stone wool from -30 to 750 degrees Celsius, its heat transfer coefficient is very low. For this reason, it greatly reduces the transfer of heat energy to the outside. Using this insulation as a thermal insulation reduces energy consumption and as a result reduces costs and saves national resources. Environmentally, stone wool is a certified product that does not have the adverse effects of other insulations. Stone wool is also used as sound insulation. The insulating power of stone wool is 33 times more than a concrete wall and 22 times more than a brick wall. Considering the necessity of sound and thermal insulation in building construction, stone wool can be the best choice. This product also has high mechanical resistance. The presence of rock wool in insulated metal structures prevents the metal structures from breaking apart after a fire.
In addition, this product is also used as a sound insulation. In the construction industry and due to the expansion of apartment building and busy and noisy urban lives, the need for sound insulation is felt more and more. The presence of stone wool as sound insulation in the ceilings and walls makes noise pollution not to disturb our soul and spirit. Considering the high level of household energy consumption in Iran, it is highly recommended to use stone wool to prevent the loss of national capital. In addition, stone wool can be used in industrial environments such as construction, petrochemical and refineries, furnaces, etc. Stone wool can be very resistant to fire and prevent fire from spreading to different parts of a building. It should be noted that stone wool is resistant to fire for up to four hours and does not emit toxic smoke. For example, if the Plasco building was equipped with rock wool insulation, the fire would never have spread so much that it would collapse. Maybe the purchase of stone wool for construction imposes costs on the builder; But with a lower cost, you can avoid more damages and costs. In the fire a few years ago in the Salman Tower in Mashhad, the lack of thermal insulation caused the fire to spread. For some time, the appearance of the tower was half-burnt. This caused many business owners in that tower to leave. People were less willing to go there. Unfortunately, despite having a parking lot and a very convenient location, Salman Tower suffered a severe economic recession, and half of the shops there are still empty even after a few years, which is an irreparable loss for the owner of the tower.
