Rockwool insulationRockwool insulation products are the excellent insulation materials and are fully safe to use under all conditions. Both insulation materials have been in world wide use for over 70 years, and during that time their manufacture and use have been extensively monitored and researched. It is clear from this monitoring and research that no serious health effects have ever occurred in those manufacturing, using or otherwise exposed to rockwool insulation.
Features of rock wool
insulation
None of the products that compete with rockwool in the market place have been subjected to the same amount of research to establish their safe credentials. The handling of and rockwool may result in temporary itching and sensible work practices to minimize this are recommended. Dusts released during installation are not classified as hazardous. Rockwool are the most widely used insulation materials in Australia and New Zealand, and worldwide. New bio-soluble fiber formulations were introduced locally from 2000 and, in collaboration with the key Australian building unions, agreed work practices have been developed for their use on building sites in all applications.
Rockwool is incombustible
Rockwool is incombustible and can be used as a fire barrier in certain applications, protecting personnel or the public in case of fire. Some Rock wool products may also pass this more stringent AS1530.1 non-combustibility test, but petrochemical or paper based products fail. Do not absorb moisture from the atmosphere and have a neutral pH, no risk of harmful chemicals leaching from the product or corrosion. Light weight, easy to install and won't settle over time. Proven long term insulation performance - and the most cost effective. Safe use based on extensive medical research.
Benefits Rockwool
Rockwool insulation has a long and successful history of use in a wide range of insulation applications. Early versions of rockwool were first produced in the mid 1800's and glass wool has been in use as insulation for 70 years. Although the results of animal testing and epidemiology studies prior to the 1970s did not indicate any health problems, concerns arising from research into other building materials led to questions being raised about potential health affects of all synthetic mineral fiber products including the most widely used glass wool and rockwool insulation.
Expanding Foam Insulation
Foam is a substance that is formed by trapping many gas bubbles in a liquid or solid. Some commonly know foams are polyurethane foam and Styrofoam. The low density of these foams made them excellent as insulators and flotation devices. Insulation...
