Rockwool fibers are produced from natural volcanic rocks,which are melted in special furnaces at a temperature of more than 15000 and are then spun to fine fibers characterized by their flexibilty and high temperature resistance. The fibers are collected and processed on production lines to form the different shapes of Rockwool,mainly boards,Felts,Mattress,Blankets quilted mattress,loose fibers and pipe coverings.Each of which is produced in different thickness and densities. Rockwool is a highly efficient insulation and used in most of the known applications requiring thermal, acoustic or fire insulation, thanks to its very low thermal conductivity, very high melting temperature and its open cell structure.
Rockwool is considered as a high performance material in the thermal insulation, acoustic insulation and fire resistance applications.
