Stone wool as a thermal insulation material plays a critical role in energy-saving technologies – making it a crucial element in the process industries where cost and downtime remains an ever present concern. It possesses unique advantages such as low thermal conductivity, fire resistance and highly water repellent to avoid corrosion. Compared to most other mineral wool insulation, stone wool exhibits superior high temperature stability. A sintering test conducted up to 1000ºC shows ROCKWOOL stone wool’s ability to still maintain its original shape. This cannot be said for other insulation materials – which may shrink when temperatures become elevated. An insulation material that can maintain high temperature stability is especially crucial in the industrial sector where operating temperatures can reach up to over 500ºC, whereby failing to do so will compromise your plant’s operation and energy costs maintenance.
