ásványgyapotot

Ásványgyapot is a fibrous insulating material made from molten natural minerals or recycled slag. The molten material is spun into fine fibers, which are then bound together with a binder to form a blanket or batt. It is commonly used in building construction for thermal and acoustic insulation in walls, roofs, and floors.

The primary components of mineral wool are typically basalt, diabase, or other silicate rocks, as well as industrial byproducts like blast furnace slag. These raw materials are melted at high temperatures and then subjected to a spinning process that creates the characteristic wool-like fibers. The binder, usually a thermosetting resin, is added to hold the fibers together and give the insulation its structure and rigidity.

Ásványgyapot offers excellent thermal resistance, meaning it effectively slows down heat transfer, contributing to energy efficiency in buildings. It also possesses good sound absorption properties, helping to reduce noise transmission between rooms and from external sources. The material is generally non-combustible, providing a degree of fire resistance.

Installation of ásványgyapot typically involves cutting the insulation to fit within building cavities. It is important to wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves, long sleeves, and a dust mask, during handling and installation due to the fibrous nature of the material. Proper ventilation is also recommended. The material is available in various forms, including rolls, batts, and loose-fill.
