Rock wool
What is rock wool?
Rock wool is an insulating material derived from the fusion of basaltic rocks, transformed into fibers to create a highly effective structure for thermal and acoustic insulation.
Thanks to its fibrous nature, this material traps air, reducing heat loss and aiding in sound absorption.
Athena Industries offers custom rock wool solutions, ideal for thermal and acoustic insulation.
Thermal and acoustic properties
Low Thermal Conductivity (between 0.035 and 0.040 W/mK)
This makes it perfect for insulating buildings and industrial facilities. It is used in thermal cladding, roofs, and walls to reduce heat loss.
Excellent Sound Absorption
Capable of blocking and reducing sound waves due to its fibrous structure, enhancing the acoustic comfort of spaces.
A durable material
Fire Resistance and Water Resistance
One of the primary characteristics of rock wool is its fire resistance.
As a non-combustible material, it can withstand temperatures exceeding 1000°C. This makes it ideal for improving the fire safety of buildings. Additionally, it is water-resistant, meaning it does not absorb water or moisture, maintaining its insulating properties even in damp environments or when exposed to challenging weather conditions.
A Recyclable Material
Durability and Sustainability
This material has exceptional durability, with a lifespan that can exceed 50 years. It is also recyclable, and its production uses abundant resources with a low environmental impact. This makes it an eco-friendly and long-lasting solution, suitable for both residential and industrial projects.
