Insulation rock wool and glass wool are both thermal insulation materials. Both materials are in great demand in the market. Many people often do not know which one is better when choosing thermal insulation materials. Here we will help you distinguish between insulation rock wool and glass wool.

     Insulation rock wool is a lightweight thermal insulation material made of high-quality basalt as raw material, which is melted at high temperature and solidified with some special materials. It has good high-temperature resistance, generally reaching about 500 ℃, and high-quality thermal insulation rock wool can reach 600 ℃. It is mainly used for thermal insulation of high temperature thermal pipelines, electrical equipment or buildings with special requirements. Glass wool is a thermal insulation material made of glass as raw material. Its high temperature resistance is not as good as rock wool, which can only reach about 200 ℃, and high-quality glass wool can only reach about 260 ℃. Therefore, glass wool is mostly used for insulation of ordinary buildings or low-temperature pipes.
     Through the above comparison, we can clearly know the difference between insulation rock wool and glass wool. In the process of selecting thermal insulation materials, you can choose according to the use.
