What is the difference between stone insulation and glass wool insulation?
1. Different raw materials: The main raw materials of glass wool are broken glass, quartz sand, limestone, dolomite, etc. After high-temperature melting, they are spun into glass fibers by centrifuges and solidified into glass wool. The main raw material of rock wool is basalt.
2. Different density: The density range of rock wool is 40kg/m3-200kg/m3, and the density range of glass wool is 10kg/m3-120kg/m3, so glass wool has a lower bulk density than rock wool
3. Different uses: rock wool stone insulation is mostly used for heat preservation, while glass wool is more used for sound absorption.
4. Different application temperatures: The application temperature of rock wool is about 600℃, and that of glass wool is only about 260℃. Glass wool is generally used for heat preservation parts below 200℃, and rock wool stone insulation is generally used for heat preservation parts at a temperature of 500℃, and is mostly used for heat preservation of high-temperature thermal pipes or power equipment.
