Fujairah Rockwool Slabs

Fujairah Rockwool slabs conforming to ASTM C-612 and equivalent BS 3958 Part 5 and BS EN 13162 are designed
for the thermal and acoustic insulation of flat or slightly curved surfaces operating at both high and low
temperatures.
These slabs are produced from long, non-combustible resin bonded fibers. They are easy to cut, fit and handle.
The robust fibers in the slabs combine high levels of thermal efficiency and acoustic absorption.

 Applications
Designed for a wide range of applications, at both high and low service temperatures, and can be used on
flat or slightly curved surfaces for thermal and acoustic insulation.

They are suitable for thermal insulation of ducts, tanks, large vessels, oven, furnaces, boilers and other
industrial equipments as well as for cavity walls, curtain walls and sandwich panels.

It is also ideal for fire protection of steel structures and insulation of bulk heads and ship decks.

High density slabs are suitable for applications where high compressive strength is required and
where the insulation is subjected to mechanical loads and vibration. They are ideal for
traffic areas and insulation of tank roofs.

Thermal Conductivity
Thermal conductivity is the main product property of thermal insulation material and Fujairah Rockwool
products show remarkably low thermal conductivity values. Typical figures are shown below in accordance
with BS 874 : 1986, equivalent to ASTM C-177 / C-518 (ISO 8302 / ISO 8301) and DIN 52612. We have test
reports at 35°C mean temperature for 40 kg/m3 and 70 kg/m3 nominal densities and at different mean
temperatures for 140 kg/m3 nominal density.

 Service Temperature
Rockwool Insulation has a service temperature of 780°C when tested in accordance with
DIN 52271 for 80mm thickness and 100 kg/m3 density. However there is possible deviation
for lower densities.

The user is advised that it is possible that the maximum use temperature of facings and adhesives is lower than
the maximum use temperature of the insulation .The user shall ensure that sufficient thickness shall be installed so
none of these accessory items (facings and adhesives) are exposed to temperatures above their maximum use
temperature.

Fire Safety
Non-combustible when tested in accordance with BS-476 part 4 ,ASTM E-136 and BS EN ISO 1182. Class A, when
tested in accordance with ASTM E-84.The products have been tested following BS EN ISO 1182 and BS EN ISO
1716 and shown a reaction to fire performance of Class A1 following BS EN 13501-1 and can be considered as
non- combustible.

Biological Properties
Rot-proof, non-hygroscopic, will not sustain vermin and will not encourage growth of bacteria, mold or fungi.

Compatibility
Compatible with all other forms of material with which it is likely to come in contact in normal industrial and
building applications.
