ISOVER insulation properties and its application

This new product is a heat insulator on the basis of mineral wool.And if we know more about this material, made of basalt, the Isover insulation material using glass fibers.This building material is supplied commercially as rolls or plates.

The starting raw materials are broken glass, dolomite, limestone, soda, and some other components.The entire mass is melted at a temperature of 1400 degrees in a special furnace and then enters the centrifuge.It is in this form of fiber thickness of about 6 microns.For comparison - human hair 20 times thicker.It binds the fibers together by resins based on polymers.

way, fiberglass is made not only ISOVER, but ISOTEC, ECOPHON.There are several varieties of Isover.All of them have some differences like characteristics, and for the implementation (roll cooker).For example, «ISOVER KT 40-AL" is available in rolls, has a foil cover (aluminum).It ensures vapor permeability material, and may serve as a reliable moisture insulator.In addition, such performance greatly reduces the thermal conductivity, since the foil is a "reflector" heat.

Application ISOVER insulation material is quite extensive: for walls, ceilings, interior partitions, floors (between joists), slabs between floors, balconies and loggias.However, be aware that this product should not bear the burden, as does not have the mechanical strength.Consequently, it is necessary and coating.

plates of another product, «ISOVER ZvukoZaschita" released the same thickness and width.Length - 1170 mm.The weight of each - from 0.5 to 1 kg, (depending on the density of the material).

basic properties of the material ISOVER

• flexibility and light weight, which is convenient to install.Isover is possible to finish the surface of any configuration;
• significantly lowers the noise level;
• requires no additional fastening.It suffices to establish the framework, which stands between the material set "vraspor".This technology significantly reduces the time to carry out the work;
• were not readily flammable (SG group) or non-combustible (NG) material, depending on the version;
• has low thermal conductivity.The air trapped in the spaces between the fibers, preventing "leakage" of heat from the room;
• in this material will never appear fungus or insects;
• does not absorb moisture.

However, as a lack of experts say that Isover can only be used at temperatures up to + 250 ° C.While for home use does not matter.
