A very popular building material for citizens, in industrial construction are pierced stone wool mats that have a number of advantages.
They are used in the following works: heat insulation, sound insulation, high temperature insulation equipment, gas ducts, electrical filters and steam pipelines. Usage of this material in demand in different types construction sector.
It is these products that we will now discuss in this article. Note that it is not dangerous.
Stitched mats are a material made of basalt that has a fire-retardant effect. It is sold in rolls or in slab form.
Its main advantage is non-flammability. For insulation, this quality is extremely important. After all, walls, ceilings, floors, and indeed almost all structures are finished with thermal insulation materials.
Using flammable insulation means deliberately exposing yourself to danger. Mineral wool does not face such problems, and therefore is so seriously valued in the professional sphere.
Let's consider the composition of tufted mineral wool products with:
This all ensures the rigidity of the insulation and serves as a relief installation work. An important factor is proper storage.
It is necessary to store mats: in hidden warehouses, under an overhead structure, the function of which is protection and safety (from weather changes). It is important to make sure that they will not be affected by atmospheric conditions. Mineral wool is especially vulnerable to rain and precipitation.
Before laying mats for storage (for example, if it is), they must be placed in special containers, the second option is in stacks on pallets. The stack parameters are 3 m. However, here you need to focus on specific products that are publicly available.
It is possible that in your situation you will have other variations of storage equipment at hand. There's nothing wrong with that. The main thing is to protect the material and lay it correctly.
The quality standards are the following indicators:
There are such exceptions, especially for:
In some cases, they are produced without stitching, when they come in rolls made from a synthetic binder. The manufacturing process ends with the stage of exit from the chamber department.
Heat treatment takes place there. Rolls after last stage production are subject to packaging in kraft paper products.
There are requirements for raw materials and their materials, namely:
According to GOST number 4640 - when producing pierced mats, mineral wool is required. The most commonly used mineral wool is Nobasil, mineral wool MINMAT REVERBERRY (thermal insulation processes), and mineral wool ROCKWOOL.
Rockwool mineral wool (used in tufted mats) is subject to production according to two standards: “80” and “105”.
Rockwool mineral wool mats are often used in insulation of high temperature surfaces, for insulation of pipes and pipelines. There are also foil mats made of Rockwool mineral wool, which are intended for: thermal insulation and anti-condensation insulation.
Mineral wool is a fibrous material. Its structure depends on the raw material and its production. Mineral wool is available in two main forms: rolls and comes as slabs. Mineral wool has a lot of advantages. For example, thermal conductivity, durability, sound absorption.
Mineral wool is widely used in many construction processes. Mineral wool slabs are used to insulate facades. Such slabs are characterized by a density of 140 kg/cub.m. These plates have a protective function - water absorption. For stable geometry of slab products, gaps are not allowed.
Comparing them with expanded polystyrene, mineral wool slabs are heavier, but they absorb more water. The choice of mineral wool slab will serve the right decision for industrial construction. Mineral wool slabs are also softer than polystyrene foam.
Synthetic resins (water-soluble) are used for binding, and oil and organosilicon additives are used as water-repellent additives.
A metal mesh made of basalt and silica fabric is used for the lining. Threads are stitching material.
The entire composition of the mat is indicated by the manufacturing company in special documentation. The production of stitched mats requires compliance with GOST.
There are three main advantages:
Thermal insulation, sound insulation and other types of materials with a quality certificate. The quality certificate indicates the manufacture of products in accordance with GOST requirements and parameters. When selling all building materials, stores present a quality certificate.
Quality certificate - guarantees the service of the material for a long period. Its correct assessment and reliability are also important.
There are a lot of manufacturing companies that can offer a huge selection of tufted mineral wool mats that comply with GOST. All mats have stickers and the specified GOST. And GOST, as you know, defines: quality, usefulness.
Each building material tested according to GOST standards is given a number. Each GOST is developed by the committee responsible for standardization.
GOST also contains: rules for storage, reception, methodical testing and transportation of pierced mineral wool mats.
Thermal insulation pierced stone wool mats are one of the most effective. The need to use mats is quite high. The size of the mats, the parameters of the mats, the characteristics of the mats - everything is maintained by the manufacturer.
Thermal insulating pierced mats are produced with the addition of a binder in an amount of 2%. Thermal insulation properties are determined by the presence of many channels in the structure, where the air is stationary and has minimal thermal conductivity.
Mineral mats are environmentally friendly, which is a significant additional advantage.
Soundproofing pierced mineral wool mats are often used by power plants and petrochemical facilities. Among the stitched soundproofing mats there is very high quality material from the TECHNONICOL company.
Types of mineral wool mats include 3 more types of such materials: foil, laminated and laminated.
The use of pierced mats is gaining momentum every year, because the construction industry is developing at a rapid pace.
The use of pierced mineral wool mats in pipe insulation is also growing, as is the use of pierced mats in insulation work in steam pipelines. The stitching mat is an excellent help in many issues in industrial and civil construction.
It was smooth on paper, but they forgot about the ravines. The words of this saying very accurately reflect mistakes made during insulation work. Often when carrying out thermal insulation of a building, about insulation utility networks They don’t think about what leads to heat loss in an openly laid heating plant, freezing of water supply and sewerage pipes.
Ignoring technical insulation in housing, civil, industrial, military construction leads to disastrous consequences and great material costs. As effective protection and isolation engineering systems Thermal insulating basalt mats are used.
Thermal insulating basalt mats are used as thermal insulation:
Basalt thermal insulation mats provide heat, sound, vapor insulation, as well as decorative finishing equipment in the interior.
Thermal insulation mat is made from fibers obtained by melting natural volcanic stone - basalt. It determines the main characteristics and properties of pierced basalt mats.
Good heat holding capacity is achieved by the presence large quantity still air in the voids of the mat. It is in the range of 0.035 - 0.04 units.
Materials made from mineral fibers have increased resistance to moisture due to the stone base and hydrophobic impregnation. The maximum amount of moisture is 1% of the volume of insulation.
Basalt fiber mats are highly chemically inert to various types of chemically active substances, metals, mortars and materials, petroleum products. Upon contact with them, they do not collapse, do not lose their integrity and thermal insulation ability.
Biological stability is at its highest. The materials do not spread fungus and mold within themselves or on their surface, do not rot, and do not serve as food for rodents and insects. For representatives of the animal world it is extremely difficult to arrange housing in the internal volumes of a heat insulator.
Basalt mat belongs to the category of non-combustible insulation due to its stone component. The exclusion from production of the binding component in the form of formaldehyde resin completely eliminated the release harmful substances into the atmosphere when heated and melted. Unlike general building insulation materials, they have sufficient wide range operating temperatures: - 180 to + 570 o C.
Firmware of the entire volume with glass roving without adhesive composition provides a certain mobility of fibers. This allows basalt thermal insulation mats to take the form of insulated systems with the most complex configuration without loss of integrity.
The thermal insulation mat has sufficient environmental safety, which is confirmed by relevant environmental certificates. You can work with it if you have the simplest means of protection. It is not recommended to neglect their use during installation.
The insulation in the mats has sufficient density (about 35 - 45 kg/m3) to simultaneously serve as an excellent soundproofing barrier. This quality is especially important during the construction and reconstruction of production facilities.
Stitched thermal insulation materials have a fairly high vapor permeability, which creates favorable conditions to remove saturated water vapor from equipment through insulation (mats) into the environment.
Use as source material igneous rock allows the insulation to have an endless service life. However, it cannot be ruled out harmful effects natural factors, as well as loss of fiber stiffness during operation, which will inevitably lead to compaction of the material and an increase in the specific thermal conductivity coefficient. According to manufacturers, the thermal insulation mat has a service life of 25 years.
Thermal insulation mats made of glass staple fiber, produced in accordance with GOST 10499-95, are very close to them in quality. But they have one significant drawback - extremely low environmental safety, especially during installation. Sufficient protection for the skin, respiratory organs and vision of installers is required.
Mineral mats from different manufacturers have various sizes and the same rectangular shape. Due to the similarity of the main operational parameters, it is not necessary to be tied to any one manufacturer. It is necessary to select those materials that are optimally suited to the equipment, installation, or pipeline being insulated.
The length varies from 2.4 to 12 meters depending on the thickness. This makes storage and transportation to the work site convenient.
The stitched mats have a width of 1 or 1.2 m. This size allows one person to carry out insulation work while complying with safety requirements.
The thickness ranges from 20 to 100 mm, ensuring the selection of a layer thickness that will allow insulation to be carried out according to the calculated values while saving money on purchase.
To form part of the manufactured products, various lining materials are used, which make it possible to change the maximum temperature of use:
| Cover name | Marking | Limit temperature, o C |
|---|---|---|
| Metal grid | MS | 700 |
| Basalt fabric | BT | 700 |
| Silica fabric | CT | |
| Fiberglass | ST | |
| Fiberglass mesh | SST | 450 |
| Basalt fiber mesh | SB | |
| Non-woven fiberglass canvas | HNS | |
| Aluminum foil | F | 300 |
Foil insulation mats are often used for insulation refrigeration units. The foil layer ensures reflection of infrared external radiation, thereby ensuring the preservation of low temperatures in the pipelines of refrigerators.
To make work easier, some manufacturers produce mats with clamps. They will allow without extra costs fix the heat-insulating layer on any linearly extended object.
Mineral wool mats will provide the necessary temperature regime operation of any production and technological equipment with minimal costs during purchase, installation and operation.
When building and renovating a house, an important component is proper thermal insulation. An important point In this matter, the choice of insulation becomes a question. A range of similar materials on modern market wide enough. It also presents universal products suitable for complex thermal insulation of buildings. One of them is thermal insulation mats.
Today, thermal insulation mats are very popular among consumers. They have affordable price, do not create problems during installation, which can be done independently, and also have a set of high technical characteristics.
There are regular and stitched mats. Firmware gives additional strength to products. Such materials may have a galvanized steel mesh, and reinforced fiberglass-based foil is glued to one side. Experts note that when used thermal insulation mats heat loss is reduced by approximately one third.
Regarding the technical characteristics of the product, it should be noted that if there is an outer shell made of glass wool, its heat resistance can be up to 500 degrees. Standard thickness insulation is 18 millimeters. The products have springs and other components that are made from of stainless steel, which guarantees their strength and long-term operation. In addition, other types of clamps can be used.
Regardless of what material the products are made of, they are most often used for thermal insulation of roofs. Denser mats can be used to insulate the floor, but they must contain exclusively basalt fiber. Glass wool insulators are used when working with ceilings, including suspended ones. Stitched mineral wool mats are popular for thermal insulation of roofs with a large area, for example, in entertainment centers.
Thermal insulation mats can be divided into 2 groups depending on the material of manufacture. They can be mineral wool and fiberglass. Let's look at these types in more detail.
They are also mats based on mineral wool. Today it is the most popular thermal insulation material. The warp fibers are intertwined and have a crystalline structure.
Mineral wool products can be produced both in the form of mats and in the form of rolls. The mats are thicker and more elastic, their thermal insulation properties are better. In this case, it is the mats that are used when working with loaded structures.
This material is excellent for thermal insulation of plastered and ventilated facades, as well as roofs, floors, ceilings, walls and balconies. Basalt mats have low thermal conductivity, do a good job of soundproofing a room, and are resistant to rotting processes, mold and mildew. In addition, when exposed to fire, they will melt rather than burn. At the same time, mineral wool mats do not create problems during installation, have an affordable price, and their service life is about 50 years.
If we talk about the shortcomings, we cannot fail to note the lack of moisture resistance. IN in this case this is an important point, since when liquid gets on the product, it loses its thermal insulation properties.
Therefore, when working with such mats, it must be taken into account that their installation must necessarily include the installation of waterproofing and vapor barrier materials. This is necessary to protect the insulation.
Glass wool-based mats are very popular when carrying out interior work on thermal insulation of the room. They are often used for insulation interior partitions. When using glass wool products in office premises It is recommended to sew them into plasterboard walls. In this case, you can achieve not only excellent thermal, but also sound insulation of the required area.
One of the main differences and a definite advantage is the low weight of fiberglass mats. This makes it possible to use these materials when working with suspended ceilings.
Currently, the use of mats and slabs made of glass staple fiber is gaining popularity. Materials are manufactured according to the latest technologies, their specifications higher. In addition, such mats are much more convenient to transport; they do not prick and do not cause inconvenience during tactile contact.
All stitched mats can be divided according to the features of their design. They may be on metal mesh, fiberglass mesh or fabric, polyethylene film or without lining.
Among the undoubted advantages of mats of any type, it is worth noting that the financial costs of heating the room are significantly reduced. The products are non-toxic, they do not emit harmful substances during operation. Materials endure high temperatures and do not lose their qualities and properties even with prolonged exposure. In addition, the room heats up much faster and the heat is retained for a long time.
Products made from materials of any kind do not actually burn or ignite. They are environmentally friendly and do not harm health. They can be coated with plaster and paint mixtures, as well as finished in other ways.
Quite often the question arises about the need to use thermal insulation mats if you plan to install heated floors in the room. It should be noted that in the absence of an insulator, heat will go into the concrete base, and this will certainly affect the financial costs of the user.
One of the insulation options is foil mats. They are based on polyethylene foam, and foil is applied to one side. Also, foil mats can be equipped with a protective coating.
This type is advisable to use if the floor is the main source of heat entering the room. In the same case excellent option will be the use of flat polystyrene foam mats that can withstand mechanical influences and are practically not deformed.
Profile mats are also popular among consumers. Their basis is dense polystyrene foam. The surface is equipped with cubic or cylindrical protrusions. They can be either simple or with the application of a vapor barrier film.
If the roof has rafters as a load-bearing base, the insulation must be laid between them. An important point is the equipment for vapor barrier, as well as waterproofing of the material. Condensation may form on surfaces, and contact with it or other liquids becomes detrimental to basalt mats and leads to loss of their performance properties. Protective film can be easily secured to the base using a regular construction stapler.
The outer side of the insulation is covered with a waterproofing material. It must be placed on a sheathing fixed to the rafters.
