Mineralfaserfüllungen

Mineralfaserfüllungen, often translated as mineral fiber fillings or mineral wool insulation, refers to materials made from spun fibers of mineral substances like rock, slag, or glass. These materials are primarily used for thermal and acoustic insulation in buildings and industrial applications. The manufacturing process involves melting the raw mineral material at high temperatures and then spinning it into fine fibers. These fibers are then processed into various forms, including mats, boards, and loose-fill insulation. The trapped air pockets within the fibrous structure provide excellent insulating properties, reducing heat transfer and sound transmission. Mineral fiber fillings are known for their non-combustibility, contributing to fire safety in construction. They are also resistant to moisture and do not support the growth of mold or mildew. However, like other fibrous materials, proper handling and installation are important to avoid inhalation of fine particles. Depending on the specific type and application, mineral fiber fillings can be manufactured from recycled materials, adding to their sustainability profile. Their durability and effectiveness over a long service life make them a widely adopted insulation solution.
