Glass wool is a common insulation material, widely used in building insulation and thermal insulation. So can glass wool be applied to the fireproof cladding of smoke exhaust ducts?
According to the current GB/T13350-2017 'insulation with glass wool and its products' for the definition of glass wool products: normal glass wool productnormal glass wool product for working temperature is not higher than 250 ℃ glass wool products.
High temperature glass wool product glass wool product used in high temperature can be used in high temperature working conditions (hot surface temperature greater than 250 degrees Celsius) and through the highest use temperature assessment.
High temperature glass wool product used in high temperature working conditions (hot surface temperature greater than 250 degrees Celsius), and through the highest use temperature assessment of glass wool products. So what is the maximum service temperature for high temperature glass wool products? According to the world's several well-known glass wool manufacturer's website, Owens Corning OWENS CORNING, Jiesman Johns Manville its announced high temperature insulation glass wool products are in the highest use temperature of 300 ~ 500 degrees Celsius:
Glass wool materials and products, why its use of temperature range, especially high temperature resistance are in the range of 300-500 degrees Celsius, it is difficult to break through? This is due to the material composition of glass wool products and production processes decided.
Glass wool is a molten glass fibrillated and thermosetting resin-based binder processed into products, its main component is glass fiber. Glass fiber itself is non-combustible, and has a certain high temperature resistance.
But the glass fiber made of glass wool products must be added to the resin binder, play a role in bonding glass fibers and maintain structural support.
In the event of high temperatures (usually 300-500 degrees Celsius), the resin binder will be carbonized and melted, the glass wool will lose the structural support, which is the glass wool can not withstand high temperatures of more than 500 degrees Celsius, the key factor.
