Uses of Glass Wool insulation

Glass Wool Insulationis one of the most widely used forms of insulation world-wide because of its thermal and acoustic properties, light weight, high tensile strength and exceptional resilience. Glass wool is one of the most dominant types of insulations preferred in applications with service temperatures ranging upto 250C.

It is made from sand and recycled glass. This blend is melted, spun into a fibrous mat and bound together by resin. The material’s texture is similar to wool, hence the name ‘glass wool’. If you inhale glass wool fibres into your lungs during installation, most fibres dissolve inside your body and disappear quickly with no adverse health effects.

The lightweight of Glass wool also offers significant advantages during transport and installation. In addition, Glass wool is chemically inert and has no impurities such as iron shots, sulphur and chloride. The product is non-corrosive to metal and does not support mold grow. It is manufactured from renewable raw materials and is environmental friendly in every stage.

Glass wool is formed into products with various thickness and densities. It comes in the form of rolls and slabs with or without Aluminum foil. Glass wool is chemically inert. Application does not cause or accelerate corrosion. Glass wool is rot proof and odorless. It is non-combustible, non-emission of dense smoke and toxic gases, on depletion of oxygen (high oxygen index 70%).

It is inorganic and does not encourage growth of fungi and vermin.
