Rockwool & Glasswool
FAISAL SHINE- ROCKWOOL & GLASSWOOL
FAISAL SHINE - ROCKWOOL AND GLASSWOOL INSULATIONS
Rockwool is made from stone and glass, Glasswool is made from glass fibers. Both are heated to very high temperatures until it melts, and is then spun quickly to create fibers. These fibers are then bound together to be used as insulation. The color of glasswool is bright yellow, and rockwool is dark. Because of the difference of the raw materials, rockwool has a bigger density than glasswool. But, glasswool has a wider choice for thickness. Because of the difference in density, rockwool has a much better fire-resistance character than glasswool.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS:
Glasswool and Rockwool make a significant contribution to ensuring safe workplaces by providing:
FAISAL SHINE - ROCKWOOL AND GLASSWOOL SANDWICH PANELS:
The top and bottom surfaces sandwich panel is pre-painted galvanized or Galvalume steel. The core material is Rockwool or Glasswool insulation between the both surfaces with very high Strength and density. This sandwich panel is featured with full anti-firing, more heating and sound insulation.

APPLICATIONS:
Because of the difference in heat resistance, glasswool is usually used in common buildings, shops and hospital which do not have special requirement in fire-resistant. For some industry, which has high requirement for heat resistance, such as steelmaking boiler, is more suitable for rockwool.
Mainly usage: Industrial plants, warehouses, public facilities, exhibition centers, shopping malls, cold storage, and a variety of indoor playgrounds, sports grounds.
Main function: Energy-saving insulation, noise control, improve indoor air quality
