Stone wool insulation rolls stacked on a pallet for thermal and fireproof applications

Stone wool, also known as mineral wool or rock wool, is a fire-resistant and sound-absorbing insulation material made from natural volcanic rock such as basalt or diabase. As a trusted stone wool supplier, ATDM delivers top-quality solutions for thermal, acoustic, and fire insulation across a wide range of applications.

How is Stone Wool Manufactured?

To begin the process, manufacturers melt volcanic rock at 1400°C. Then, they spin the molten material into fibers and bind it with a heat-resistant resin to create stone wool. The final product is then compressed and cut into various forms like boards, rolls, and loose-fill.

Applications of Stone Wool

As a premium stone wool supplier, we serve industries including:

1. Building Insulation

Used in walls, roofs, and floors for thermal and acoustic performance.

2. Industrial Equipment

Insulation for tanks, pipes, boilers, and kilns.

3. HVAC Systems

Duct insulation to reduce heat loss and noise.

4. Fire Protection

Fire barriers and compartmentation for commercial buildings.

5. Marine and Offshore

Insulation for ships and oil platforms, compliant with IMO standards.

6. Sandwich Panels

Core material in fireproof composite panels.

Stone Wool for Thermal Insulation

Thanks to its high thermal resistance, stone wool helps maintain comfortable indoor temperatures and lowers energy costs. Its stable performance over time makes it ideal for both hot and cold climates.

Stone Wool for Acoustic Insulation

Its dense and fibrous structure absorbs sound waves effectively. Whether in homes, studios, or office buildings, stone wool reduces echo and outside noise.

Stone Wool for Fire Resistance

Thanks to its melting point above 1000°C, stone wool does not burn or release toxic gases. Moreover, it holds a Euroclass A1 rating—the highest classification for fire resistance in building materials.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Stone wool is non-combustible, chemically stable, and does not promote mold or bacteria growth.

Stone wool is water-repellent but breathable. While it resists water, it also allows vapor to escape, preventing condensation buildup.

It can last 50+ years without performance loss if properly installed and protected from mechanical damage.
