Mineral Fibre Bio. More Views. Description Protecta Mineral Fiber Bio is made from special alkaline silicate AES fibers that are uniquely designed to provide benefits in high temperature insulation applications. Dimensions: 25x48xmm per strip. High levels of thermal insulation The tiny pockets of air trapped within the physical structure of the stone wool reduce airflow and heat flow. Stone wool maintains its shape and density over time for long-term thermal performance throughout the lifetime of the building or technical application.
Environmentally friendly We constantly seek to reduce our resource use and emissions emitted during the production process and supply chain. Stone wool rock wool can be used for insulation and fire protection in many applications. It is particularly suitable for industry given its high temperature resistance and non-combustibility. Creating a product capable of operating at much higher temperatures than traditional glass-wool products. Find out more. Stone wool, also referred to as rock wool, is created by spinning molten rock and minerals with steel slag to create a cotton-candy-like wool product.
Composition: The basalt, slag and briquet recycled stone wool are stored in silos. These raw materials are then automatically weighed and mixed with coke. A binder is automatically atomized on the fibres and the fibre core is placed in a pressurized chamber to form a homogenous primary sheet. This blanket is then transported to the batting installation. Insulation that is haphazardly installed by being overly compressed into the cavity, or bent or folded, also will underperform in delaying the spread of fire because its R-value has been compromised.
In short, poorly installed insulation will not pass code requirements; therefore, it is important to consult an insulation contractor and eliminate the need for future repairs or rework. Insulation can play an important role in slowing the spread of fire in commercial buildings, and many considerations are involved in the decision-making process when selecting materials.
Each building and planning process is different, each with its own code requirements. No matter the project, the safety of the building occupants and those around it remains top priority, and passive fire protection is an essential part of this protection.

February 1, Hourly Rating and Required Codes The standard test for fire resistance is typically measured in time, or the duration a passive fire protection system can withstand a standard fire resistance test. Insulation Products to Delay the Spread of Fire The delay of the spread of fire is when, during a fire, insulation stays in place within the wall assembly even after surrounding materials have deteriorated.
Depending on the design and the building structure, mineral wool is commonly used for interior walls and ceilings, not only for its fire safety capabilities but also because it delivers excellent sound control, thermal performance, and moisture resistance, as does fiber glass. It is also relatively simple to install and can be placed directly into the wall cavity without any fasteners depending on the manufacturer.
Fiber glass batts and rolls are simple to install, cost effective, and durable, while still meeting noncombustibility requirements.
