What is Baswul?
Stone wool is made from basalt rocks. To obtain this fiber, raw materials are processed at temperatures above 1000 ° C. The individual parts are held together with organic resins. Basvul is produced at a modern plant in Blagoveshchensk near Ufa. The first batches of insulation were released in the summer of 2011.
This basalt wool is used in the processing of private buildings, outbuildings, as well as industrial institutions. The price is affordable, therefore, even those who are not allowed to use expensive building materials can carry out thermal insulation work using this insulation.
Advantages of basalt insulation baswool
When compared with other materials of a similar purpose, then this insulation has a number of advantages. Consider them:
1. Increased strength due to the use of stone for the manufacture of stone wool. This feature allows the material to be used in almost any design. At the same time, the cutting of basalt wool is easy enough so that all the work associated with it is extremely simple.
2. The plasticity of the material is perfectly combined with resistance to mechanical stress. Because of this, it is used for work of any type of complexity.
baswool - high quality thermal insulation material
3. High resistance to high temperature ensures fire resistance.
4. Excellent water repellency. Ideal hydrophobicity completely excludes the possibility of the emergence of living microorganisms.
5. Basalt wool perfectly insulates heat, thus providing good energy saving performance.
6. Vapor permeability. The material removes moisture from the insulation and the structure as a whole, maintaining the necessary microclimate in the building.
7. Quite good acoustic performance. Soundproofing basalt wool creates the most comfortable conditions in all rooms. This is achieved by a unique fibrous structure in which the fibers are arranged in a chaotic manner.
Material specifications
Given the location of the application area of the mineral wool, the description of its technical characteristics will vary. Below are the main parameters:
- Density - from 25 to 225 kg / m 3.
- The thermal conductivity index is from 0.035 to 0.042 W / (m * K).
- Flammability class - A1. This level is assigned to those subspecies that are not subject to fire, that is, they stop the spread of fire.
- Water vapor permeability is about 0.3 mg / (m * h * Pa).
- Moisture absorption - no more than 1% of the weight, no more than 2% of the total volume.
Composition and features
Mineral wool is one of the most effective modern insulation materials with a fairly wide area of use. The manufacturer offers material of various densities with high performance.
It contains mineral fiber made from environmentally friendly raw materials and high-quality binders, thanks to which the material will retain its performance even under extreme operating conditions.
The material has a homogeneous structure, hydrophobic. It is able to maintain its characteristics for a long time. It is lightweight, non-flammable. It has low thermal conductivity.
Advantages and disadvantages
This building material can be used for facades, interior works.
Baswool insulation in slabs is produced in a standard rectangular shape - 120 * 60 cm.The thickness of the slabs is produced in the range from 5 to 20 cm.
