In the construction of modern factories, insulation and sound insulation are two vital needs. Many insulation board materials have appeared one after another, and rockwool sound insulation board has stood out as one of the ideal materials for steel factory building with its unique advantages.
Compared with traditional polystyrene foam insulation board, rockwool sound insulation panel has excellent fire resistance. As a production site, the factory has various electrical equipment and complex processing techniques, and the fire hazard should not be underestimated. Polystyrene foam insulation board is very easy to burn when it encounters open flames, and it will release a large amount of toxic and harmful smoke when burning, which will not only endanger the lives of people in the factory, but also cause devastating blows to equipment and products. The rockwool sound insulation board is made of natural rock after high-temperature melting into fiber, and then processed into shape. Its non-flammable characteristics fundamentally eliminate the risk of fire spread. Even under the scorching fire, no harmful gases will be produced, which builds a solid firewall for the safe production of the factory and greatly improves the fire safety factor of the factory.
In terms of sound insulation, compared with polyurethane foam insulation board, rock wool sound insulation board has obvious advantages. The steel factory building is usually filled with the roar of machinery and equipment, the sound of metal collision and the noise of material handling. Excessive noise not only interferes with the normal communication of workers, but also damages workers’ hearing and affects work efficiency and physical and mental health if they are in this environment for a long time. Although polyurethane foam insulation board has certain thermal insulation performance, its sound insulation ability is relatively weak. The unique fiber structure of rockwool sound insulation board forms countless tiny air pockets inside it. The sound undergoes multiple reflections, refractions and absorption during the propagation process, and the noise reduction effect is significant. Experimental data show that under the same thickness conditions, the sound insulation of rock wool sound insulation panels can be 5-10 decibels higher than that of polyurethane foam insulation board, which can effectively control the noise in the factory to a more comfortable range and create a relatively quiet working environment for workers.
In terms of thermal insulation durability, rock wool sound insulation board is better than expanded perlite insulation board. The operation cycle of the factory is long, and the durability of the insulation material is extremely high. During long-term use, the expanded perlite insulation board is prone to moisture and powdering due to its own structural characteristics, resulting in a gradual decline in thermal insulation performance. The rock wool sound insulation panel has extremely low water absorption and excellent moisture resistance. Even in humid and rainy seasons or in a factory environment with high humidity, it can still maintain stable thermal insulation performance, ensure the appropriate temperature in the factory, reduce the energy consumption of air conditioning, heating and other equipment, and reduce operating costs.
Furthermore, the environmental protection properties of the rockwool sound insulation boards are in line with the current concept of sustainable development. It uses natural rocks as raw materials, and the production process is relatively clean. After being discarded, it will not cause long-term pollution to the soil and water sources like some chemical synthetic insulation boards. It has a high degree of recyclability, which helps the factory construction to move towards a green and environmentally friendly path.
When installed and used in the steel factory building, the rock wool sound insulation board also shows good adaptability. It has various specifications and can be flexibly cut according to the different sizes of the factory walls and roofs. The installation process is mature and the construction efficiency is high. It can quickly build a thermal insulation and sound insulation barrier, reduce the factory construction cycle, and enable the enterprise to start production and operation as soon as possible.
To sum up, rockwool sound insulation board has demonstrated unparalleled competitiveness in the field of steel structure factory construction with its excellent fire prevention, sound insulation, long-lasting thermal insulation, environmental protection and installation advantages. It creates a safe, comfortable and energy-saving production environment for the factory and has become the preferred choice of many companies when choosing insulation boards.
