Technical Specifications of Rockwool Tech Mat

The company Rockwool specializes in the production of high-quality mineral wool insulation for homes and industrial premises. The Tech Mat series is designed to isolate heat from process, energy equipment, large pipelines and heat networks. This series has no analogues in the construction market, as it has been developed taking into account modern technologies and has improved characteristics.

Consider the pros and cons of the material, its scope, technical properties of the most popular product line.

Rockwool products have many advantages. First of all, it is an increased material strength, which is achieved through a special manufacturing technology in high-temperature furnaces.All the raw materials of the company are made from the water-repellent material, which provides the optimal properties of the insulation. The company Rockwool guarantees complete fire safety of its products and low thermal conductivity.

Basalt, from which thermoplates are produced, does not burn. Even if you heat a small portion of the insulation with a burner, its reverse side, like the rest, will retain its temperature. "Tech Butts" can be safely used at temperatures ranging from -180 to +570 degrees. The moisture resistance of the “Tech Butts” blocks is at a high level. It is a merit of basalt material from which thermoplates are made. The fibers do not absorb moisture.

However, this does not mean that they do not miss the steam. Insulation has a high vapor permeability, which provides the optimal balance of temperature and humidity design. A great advantage of mineral wool blocks is good sound insulation. If the mats are laid correctly, its level can reach from 43 to 62 dB. Bio-resistance of the material prevents the occurrence of mold or mildew, as well as damage by insects or rodents.

The manufacturing company guarantees the durability of its products, which will last more than 50 years. Thermoplits are environmentally friendly. They do not harm the environment and human health.

The rectangular shape of insulation provides simplicity and ease of installation. Blocks easy to cut with an ordinary knife. However, they are not stratified. Elasticity and elasticity make it possible to sheathe even structures with a non-standard shape. The only drawback of products is the high price of goods. However, for high quality you have to pay the appropriate price.

Rockwool "Tech Mat" has a fairly wide scope. Mineral-cotton blocks can be used for thermal insulation of air ducts, gas ducts, boiler structures and any flat surfaces. The great advantage of the products is the possibility of their installation on industrial and technological energy equipment, furnaces, housing systems, as well as use in large-scale industrial construction.

The Tech Mat line offers a wide range of foil-clad plates and products without aluminum coating. In total, the series has 14 thermal blocks of various thickness (from 20 to 200 mm). The most common are the models "50", "100" and "150". Consider each of these products in detail.

This mineral wool thermoplate is covered with laminated aluminum foil and packed in a plastic bag. "Tech Mat" has a standard length and width, its thickness may vary depending on the operational requirements of the surface. Model sizes are 1000x600x50 mm, the last parameter can reach 200 mm.

The density of the block is 40-50 kg per 1m3. Foil insulation belongs to the KM1 group of flammability, its maximum compressibility is 20%. This model of heat plate can be operated at a temperature from -180 to +349 degrees. "Tech Butts 50" works great in any, even the most aggressive conditions.

These products have the same dimensions as the previous ones: 1000x600x50, however, the density is much higher and amounts to 90 kg per 1 m3. Insulators "Tech Batts 100" belong to the KM1 group of flammability in the presence of a foil of a ragged coating; if it is not present, it is referred to the KM0 group. The maximum level of water absorption plates is 1 kg per m2.Allowable operating temperature ranges from -180 to +665 degrees.

Technical characteristics of this type of insulation is even higher than the previous ones. The model parameters are 1000x600x70, with a special order, you can get a product with dimensions of 5000x1000x50 mm. The density of the blocks is 140 kg per 1 sq. In the presence of aluminum foil mats belong to the KM1 group of flammability, in its absence - KM0. These thermoplates can be used at temperatures from -180 to +750 degrees.

Rectangular blocks are twisted into rolls and covered with a special film that holds a similar form of insulation. Thanks to such packaging, the mats are much easier to transport and store. In this form, they do not take up much space. After opening the package unit easily returns its shape, due to the increased elasticity.

The company Rockwool has a huge amount of positive feedback on the Tech Mat plates. Buyers are satisfied with the high technical characteristics of goods, their safety and quality of materials. The lightness of the blocks and the convenient rectangular shape are noted, due to which the laying takes place much faster.
