Mineraalikuitut
Mineraalikuitut, also known as mineral fibers, are a group of inorganic, fibrous materials derived from minerals. They are characterized by their long, thin, and flexible structure. The most common types of mineral fibers include glass fibers, rock wool, and slag wool. These materials are manufactured through processes that involve melting raw materials at high temperatures and then spinning or drawing them into fine fibers.
Glass fibers are produced from molten glass, typically silica sand, soda ash, and limestone. Rock wool is
Mineraalikuitut possess several desirable properties, such as excellent thermal insulation, fire resistance, and sound absorption capabilities.
Applications for mineraalikuitut are diverse, ranging from building insulation in walls, roofs, and floors to industrial
