Glass Wool and Thermal Insulation Products
topic
Glass wool is produced by centrifugal or flame attenuation of molten glass into discontinuous fibres of 2 to 9 micrometre diameter that are collected as a random fibre mat and bonded with phenolic resin binders, achieving thermal conductivity of 0.030 to 0.045 watts per metre kelvin and temperature resistance up to 450 degrees Celsius in building insulation batts and industrial pipe lagging.
Role
Provides the dominant thermal and acoustic insulation material for building construction, HVAC ductwork, and industrial pipe insulation applications where its combination of low thermal conductivity, fire resistance, sound absorption, and competitive installed cost make it the primary insulation choice for energy-efficient building envelope and service installation applications.
