Fire resilience
ROCKWOOL products can make the difference between a fire in a building
and a building on fire
– Our insulation is extremely resilient to fire
– Stone wool remains stable – even at extremely high EN 13501-1- Fire Classification
temperatures (above 1000º C)
– Works to contain fire and prevent it spreading
BS 476 Part 4- Non-Combustibility
– Does not contribute to the emission of significant
quantities of toxic smoke
BS 476 Part 6- Fire Propagation

BS 476 Part 7-Surface Spread of

Thermal properties

Heat flow Stone wool Insulation keep hot and cool

air where they’re needed most
— Derives great thermal properties from tiny pockets of
air trapped within the physical structure

— Air is a good insulator. This is because heat cannot

be conducted through a void

— These air pockets allow the insulation to keep the

service at its necessary temperature

66%
of energy consumption
in buildings is used for
heating, cooling, and
ventilation

Acoustic Capabilities

Noise Reduction by Stone Wool

Stone wool Insulation is porous – it consist of coherent material and
cavities, which make it an excellent material to absorb sound.

Stone wool product are resilient and absorb vibrations, converting

acoustic and vibratory energy into heat.
50%
of the population are
regularly exposed to
traffic noise at a level
harmful to health

Robustness
Welcome to buildings that fashion the future

• ROCKWOOL stonewool has good resistance to external forces such

as varying degrees of temperatures, atmospheric pressures, moisture
content and/or other external stresses because of the unique structure
of the wool fibres.

• Tested to maintain its characteristics, properties and performance

when properly installed after 55 years
• Thermal properties, dimensions and thickness of our products is not
deteriorating during its lifetime

• Ease of installation

IIA Confidential | 23 July, 2022  © ROCKWOOL Asia 17

 Water Properties

• Concern on corrosion of structure of building element.

• Decrease in thermal resistance, less effective in thermal insulation.
• If contaminated with organic material, fungi and mould will grow.
• Unstable due to weight, slump in the cavity of the building element losing thermal insulation
performance.

• ROCKWOOL stone wool produced with water repellency feature.
