Rockwool from Rockal

ROCKAL Rockwool Duct Warp is a type of flexible insulation made from spun mineral wool, which is derived from a mixture of volcanic rock and slag.

Fibers are bonded together with a thermosetting binder which gives the flexibility & resilience to the products. Rockal Rockwool blankets are high performance solution for thermal & acoustic insulation for a range of commercial and industrial Buildings.

They are durable, easy to handle, cut and install. ROCKAL Rockwool Rolls comply with ASTM C-553-92 Type VII, E-84, E-119.

Rockal Rockwool: Application

• Thermal & Acoustic insulation of rectangular and round, heating, ventilation, air conditioning duct work temperature range 10°C to 600°C.
• Used in commercial, industrial, and residential buildings specially for small areas. Helps saving energy up to 80%, controlling heat loss or gain and condensation during system operations.
• Wall insulation – Rockwool blanket insulation can also be used in walls, either as a standalone insulation solution or as a supplement to existing insulation.
• HVAC systems – Rockwool blanket insulation is commonly used to insulate heating and cooling ducts, reducing heat loss and improving energy efficiency.
• Fireproofing – Rockwool blanket insulation can also be used for fireproofing in areas where fire safety is a concern.

Rockwool Blankets Facing

ROCKAL Duct Wrap are faced with reflective vapor barrier material (Reinforced Aluminum Foil FSK).
FSK, FRK, Unfaced, Wire mesh, BGT, BGF, Kraft Paper, Vinyl Film.
