The main characteristics of glass wool

Jul 26, 2021

1. Fireproof performance: Glass wool has the highest fireproof grade—Class A, which fully meets the relevant national fire protection requirements to ensure the safety of buildings and the safety of users’ lives and properties. In recent years, due to several major fires caused by unqualified thermal insulation materials, the country has put forward higher requirements for the fireproof performance of building thermal insulation materials.

2. Thermal insulation performance: Even fiber distribution and slender fibers make the product have lower thermal conductivity, ensure the product's superior thermal insulation performance and other superior performance indicators, and ensure the long-term product thermal insulation effect.

3. Environmental protection performance: Glass wool is an inorganic thermal insulation material made of colorless flat glass and quartz sand as the main raw materials. It is a green building material product. The construction waste can be recycled and fully meets the requirements of environmental protection.

4. Acoustic performance: The internal porous structure of glass wool gives it excellent sound absorption capacity and greatly improves the comfort of the indoor environment.

5. Seismic performance of the structure: The glass wool has high strength due to its thin and long fibers, and has superior tensile and vibration resistance. It is not easy to sag, fall or collapse regardless of installation or long-term use.

6. Chemical properties: The glass wool material has good dimensional stability and is not easily damaged and corroded by natural and human factors such as high temperature, thunder and rain, sunlight, acid and alkali.

7. Air permeability: The porous open structure and special formula of glass wool make it have better air permeability than other thermal insulation materials, which helps to diffuse the moisture in the room and the wall in time, and greatly reduces the possibility of mold growth. It helps to extend the service life of the building and also improves the comfort of the indoor environment.

8. Hydrophobicity: The water-repellent glass wool for curtain wall is a highly water-repellent glass wool product. Its water-repellent rate is as high as 99%. It is easy to dry after being damp, ensuring its long-term and effective thermal insulation performance.

9. Light weight: Glass wool has good thermal insulation and sound insulation properties, so that its low-density products can meet the energy-saving requirements of the corresponding specifications. Glass wool is the lightest material among the Class A fireproof and thermal insulation materials, which can reduce the building itself Load-bearing can also facilitate construction and improve construction efficiency.

10. Construction and installation performance: Because glass wool has fine fibers and does not contain slag balls, it avoids scratching or itching irritation to the constructor. At the same time, the material is soft and easy to cut, and any cutting surface is neat and consistent, which can greatly improve the installation efficiency, save labor costs and shorten the installation period.
