How it is made

When producing TechnoNIKOL mineral wool, the rock is pre-loaded into melting furnaces and heated to a temperature of 1400-1500 degrees. Next, the molten rock mass is poured into a special centrifuge.

Here, spinning tops rotating at speeds of up to 7000 rpm tear it into small fibers. During this procedure, binders are poured into the centrifuge . At the next stage, the fibers already impregnated with phenol-formaldehyde resin enter the lamella machine and are formed into a carpet of a given thickness.

Mineral wool of the TechnoNIKOL brand is manufactured by the domestic company of the same name, founded at the end of the last century. At the moment, it includes more than 20 enterprises and 120 retail outlets operating throughout the country. Mineral wool from this manufacturer is made from high-quality materials using modern equipment, and therefore is extremely popular not only in Russia, but also abroad.

Scope of application

Mineral wool from this manufacturer, like any other, is used, most often for insulation of building envelopes: walls or roofs .
It is also used for insulating doors, pipelines, attic and attic floors, etc. The main advantage of mineral wool in comparison with another popular insulation material today, expanded polystyrene, is considered non-flammability. Therefore, it can also be used to insulate chimneys when passing them through ceilings and roofs.

Some disadvantage of this material is its hydrophilicity. Stone wool absorbs moisture very well. However, Technonikol brand slabs in this regard are considered to be quite reliable and of high quality. During the production process, they are impregnated with special hydrophobic compounds, which significantly increases their resistance to moisture significantly.

Summary

The fundamental differences in mineral insulation are insignificant. The emphasis on properties is justified only in product advertising:

• Paroc – all elastic;
• Izovol for a bath - with a reinforced heat-reflecting layer;
• blow-in cotton wool Isover – penetrates into any nooks and crannies;
• Ursa Pureone – thanks to a natural binder, it is environmentally friendly.

But the cost may vary significantly. The situation is complicated by the different values ​​of measures in the price lists.

In this review, prices are reduced to a single indicator (RUB/m³). Therefore, just choose the most profitable option for the current period.

And remember: in the case of mineral wool, it is not the price that heats, but the volume.

Technical characteristics and dimensions

Let's look at the technical characteristics of the Rocklight heat insulator. As you know, mineral wool copes with cold compared to other natural products. However, this product is not ideal. Rocklight has attractive technical characteristics:

• The thermal conductivity level is 0.036 W/m. This is an excellent value for insulation in cold conditions.
• Density is 30 kg/m3. This is not a very large value for this indicator. However, it has a serious interaction with the compression ratio, and this is of great importance. This parameter shows to what point the product can be compressed without significant deformation. After the cessation of effort, the material returns to its original shape. A value of 30% is an excellent indicator. You can easily install this thermal insulator in frames, between roof rafters, and so on.
• Pay special attention to the dimensions of this insulation. The length is 1200 millimeters, width – 60 centimeters. Thickness can vary from 50 to 100 millimeters. These are the most popular sizes. This makes installation much easier. Small mass makes installation easier.
• Thickness varies. Depending on the purpose, materials of different thicknesses are used. For example, insulation with a thickness of 50 millimeters cannot be used for thermal insulation of the roof. To achieve this, thicker samples should be used. You can combine layers of different thicknesses, but this is not entirely correct.

As you have seen, Technonikol Rocklight is an excellent insulation material that has a wide range of applications. The only drawback is the high price, but you will get the highest quality thermal insulation results. This is better than using polystyrene foam. You can install this material yourself with your own hands.

Recommendations

When purchasing mineral wool, pay attention to the integrity of the package. The packaging insulation must be completely sealed, partially compressed, and without scratches or torn film.

This is the only way there will be no moisture in the insulation before installation. If there are defects, through holes and slits in the material that absorbs water and water vapor, the insulation becomes ineffective and changes the geometry.

Rocklight thermal insulation is installed between the steering rods. After installation, it is necessary to protect the mineral wool with a vapor-proof membrane from atmospheric moisture. Next, on top of the vapor barrier there are wooden blocks 20–30 mm thick.

To insulate vertical structures, it is necessary to build a frame. When laying Rocklight slabs, you need to make sure that there are no holes. To eliminate cold bridges, place insulation in two layers so that the second overlaps the joints on the first layer.

Above the thermal insulation layer, rolling water damping extends with an overlap between the rolls of at least 150 mm. The vapor barrier is attached by a small housing to the roof rails to drain condensation. When installing a water seal, you should know which side to properly install the vapor barrier on the insulation.

When consumers buy Rocklight, they are especially interested in compressive strength, as well as vapor permeability. The first parameter is equal to the limit of 30 kPa, and the other is 0.3 mg / (m × hour, Pa).

Rocklight basalt insulation allows you to save on installation. Any homeowner can perform the installation work themselves. The material can be glued or screwed by filling the seams with construction foam, pre-treating the surface with a primer as an alternative solution.

If it is a sloped roof, it is important to leave a ventilation gap between the insulation and the structure itself. To do this, Rocklight is mounted directly on the frame, which is strengthened from the inside at a distance of 30 centimeters between the slats

Installation work is quick and easy, as the plates are easily installed in the right place.

TechnoACOUSTIC

Technoacoustic thermal insulation boards are non-flammable, sound-absorbing mineral wool boards based on basalt group rocks.

What it is?

Rocklight mineral wool consists of synthetic fibers and thin chips of stone and clay. Due to its low weight, excellent evaporation and low hygroscopicity, this material cannot be overestimated. You can find it on sale in the form of rolls and plates of different sizes and thicknesses - from 50 to 100 mm.

Heat is retained thanks to a multi-layer structure with interlayers. Unlike polystyrene, small rodents do not make nests in mineral wool. It can be noted that cotton wool quickly collects dust and does not withstand moisture, so water removal must be thought out more carefully.

The insulation has excellent thermal insulation. The material is made from natural compositions - fiberglass and quartz sand. It does not pose a danger to people and the environment, retains heat, absorbs noise and does not accumulate insects and rodents due to its inorganic origin. Mineral wool has a lifespan of about 50 years without signs of decay, blooming or rotting.

The safest and most famous type is basalt - this is a natural material, stone, turned into thin fibers in a factory. This insulation does not actually burn up to 1000°C.

Among the well-known brands of basalt wool is Rocklight, which guarantees:

• excellent heat and sound insulation;
• no combustion;
• ease of installation.

In addition, the price is pleasantly surprising, as is the high quality. Fire safety at its best. “Rocklight” is durable, vapor-permeable properties remain throughout its entire service life

There is never fungus in mineral wool, the walls “breathe”, which is important for attic insulation

Mineral wool is made in the form of slabs or rolls. The material is quite soft, so it is not placed under the roof and does not fill it from the inside. This material is made in various forms:

• rugs;
• light, soft, semi-strong and durable plates;
• cylinders;
• in the form of loose wool.

According to GOST, mineral wool can be:

• glass;
• basalt;
• slag.

The composition may include binder resins. Also mentioned is an insulating material based on other minerals (not just basalt), which may include a variety of fibers and quartz shavings. The temperature limits for such insulation are 400–700 C.

Glass wool can be harmful if it comes into contact with skin or eyes, so it is necessary to work in special protective clothing, which is thrown away after use. When closed, the material is not dangerous.

There is also slag wool, but it is hardly used anymore. This material is cheap, but has low thermal insulation properties compared to others, and is not chemically neutral, so the presence of water can lead to corrosion of steel structures.

The general advantages of mineral insulation are that they are cheaper than most polymers, have good thermal insulation properties, and lack of water absorption.

Scope of application of Technovent PROF In civil and industrial construction as a thermal insulation layer during the construction and reconstruction of buildings and structures for various purposes. TECHNOVENT PROF mineral wool boards are intended for use as a thermal insulation layer in insulation systems with a ventilated air gap of external walls of buildings (ventilated facades).

Thermal insulation of the house facade

External thermal insulation of a building facade is better than internal. This way you preserve the interior space of the room. The surface of the walls will be protected from sudden temperature changes, which increases the durability of the structure. But it is important to provide an air gap for ventilation after insulation. This is necessary so that the condensate can evaporate freely.

The ease of installation and technical parameters of mineral wool - all this has made this material popular. In addition, the insulating product can withstand fire and high temperatures. Technical characteristics do not get worse even after decades.

Detailed description

Before purchasing TechnoNIKOL stone wool, you need to familiarize yourself with its technical characteristics in more detail.

Coefficient of thermal conductivity

This stone criterion may vary depending on the type of material. Be within the range of 0.034 to 0.047 W/m*S. Thus, it becomes clear that 10 cm of insulation can retain thermal energy just as well as 38 cm of timber or 140 cm of brick.

The photo shows the thermal conductivity of TechnoNIKOL stone wool:

The insulation process using TechnoNIKOL wool is carried out in 1-2 layers.

Density of slabs

This characteristic of the material is determined by the thermal conductivity coefficient. If we consider the material Rocklight and Technolight, then its density is 30-40 kg/m3, but the material Technoflor, which is used to insulate the floor under the screed, this figure is 81-185 kg/m3.

Degree of vapor permeability

This characteristic is also one of the main ones. The lighter the material, the better its vapor permeability. Consequently, the microclimate in the house will be comfortable for living.

In addition, insulation with high vapor permeability rates has a longer service life. This is due to the fact that water molecules do not retain steam on their surface for long. Since TechnoNIKOL wool consists of 99% air, it allows steam to pass through perfectly. The degree of permeability of the material will be 0.3−0.6 mg/(m.h.Pa).

Degree of water absorption and fire-resistant properties

Since specialists used various additives in the production of TechnoNIKOL stone wool, the resulting material can perfectly retain moisture. The water absorption level of the heat insulator will be 1-2%.

Since TechnoNIKOL mineral boards are a non-flammable material, it is advisable to use them for thermal insulation in those houses where there is a high risk of fire. TechnoNIKOL slabs are not combustible, and the melting process occurs only at a temperature of 1000 degrees.

If a fire occurs, TechnoNIKOL stone wool will be able to delay the spread of the flame for some time. Moreover, it protects against fire and other materials that are less resistant to fire. But what is the thermal conductivity of mineral wool and how is it determined. The information in this article will help you understand.

The video shows the technical characteristics of TechnoNIKOL stone wool:

Life time

The service life of TechnoNIKOL mineral wool is quite long even under unfavorable conditions. The minimum service life is 50 years. This result is achieved due to the fact that the material has excellent characteristics. Basalt fibers do not rot or corrode. In addition, rodents are not scary for them. But the service life of the material can only be increased if it is installed correctly. So during installation you must take care of hydro and vapor barrier.

Disadvantages of the material

Even the most universal material has disadvantages that should be taken into account before purchasing. Negative qualities are especially evident when installation technology is violated.

So, Rocklight thermal insulation has the following disadvantages:

1. Despite the fact that the insulation does not absorb moisture, under prolonged exposure it slowly deteriorates.
2. When insulating with mineral wool, it is important to use waterproofing. For some, this is a significant disadvantage, as it will require more installation time and higher material costs.
3. When combining Rocklight insulation with waterproofing, it is important to take the choice of the latter seriously, evaluating its qualities. Some waterproofing does not allow air and moisture to pass through at the same time, so it will be difficult to breathe in the room while insulating the floor and ceiling at the same time.

Having learned the main characteristics and properties of Rocklight mineral wool, it becomes obvious why it is in high demand in the construction markets. This insulation is affordable. It can withstand the highest temperatures and is not subject to fire. All these qualities are undoubtedly very important in both residential and non-residential premises.

Mineral wool slabs are sold in a special shrink film. For proper and durable insulation of a house from the inside and outside, Rocklight is most suitable. It has a long service life, which, if all rules are followed, reaches 50 years, as well as a high degree of environmental friendliness. The material is safe for allergy sufferers because it does not release harmful substances or toxins into the environment.

A long service life makes it possible not to worry that the repair will soon have to be redone due to wear and tear of the materials. Rocklight does not lose its qualities for a long time - this is the main quality for choosing in its favor.

Main types of basalt-based mineral wool TechnoNIKOL

As can be seen from the above list, the scope of application of this thermal insulation material is quite extensive, this is due to the fact that the manufacturer produces a wide range of products for each specific task. Let's take a closer look at each type of product.

Insulation Technolight

Technolight mineral insulation is used for sound and heat insulation of various structures that are not subject to constant loads. These include roofing coverings assembled from rafter legs, battens, counter-lattens and hydro- and vapor barriers.

It is also permissible to use this type of material for internal insulation of walls on a balcony or in an apartment during the preliminary assembly of a load-bearing frame, or as the main sound-proofing and heat-insulating layer of a floor on joists.

Varieties

There are several types of TechnoNIKOL wool on the modern construction market, so specialists have the opportunity to choose the most suitable option for certain operating conditions. Let's look at each type in detail.

Rocklight

This insulation is made up of lightweight hydrophobized basalt slabs. The fibers were bonded by specialists using resin. Rocklight is not afraid of high temperatures and water. It is rational to use it for sound and heat insulation of buildings concentrated at different angles.

Rocklight

This type of TechnoNIKOL wool is actively used for insulation of low-rise structures. The average cost varies between 1350 rubles per meter³.

Heatroll

It consists of long slabs rolled into rolls. In addition to the standard advantages of mineral wool, Teploroll is an excellent sound insulation. Heatroll is most often used to insulate roofs, attics and floors in residential buildings. The average price is 1650 rubles per meter³.

Heatroll

Technoacoustic

This type of TechnoNIKOL is characterized by high fire and moisture resistance. Technoacoustic is popular among specialists due to its good soundproofing quality. Residential and non-residential premises can be equipped with cotton wool.

It is often used for sound insulation in the construction of cafeterias, restaurants and nightclubs. The price starts from 3,000 rubles per meter³.

Technoacoustic

Technoblock

The technoblock is resistant to combustion and performs well as a sound and heat insulator. It is based on basalt wool with a low concentration of phenol. They equip the middle layer in layered walls. The price starts from 1,790 rubles per cubic meter.

Effect of insulation

Technofas

Another non-flammable type of stone wool is TechnoNIKOL. They are used to insulate the facade of the house, which will then be finished with plaster. It absorbs well the materials used for finishing cladding. Technofas is the most expensive type of TechnoNIKOL wool. For a cubic meter you will have to pay more than 59,000 rubles.

Installation of insulation

TechnoNikol wall insulation or thermal insulation for other types of surfaces is attached like any other mineral wool.

How much does TechnoNikol mineral wool cost?

The characteristics of TechnoNikol insulation also include cost. In this section we provide the approximate cost of the most popular TechnoNikol stone wool insulation.

Mineral wool thermal insulation cylinders TechnoNikol brand CF 80 measuring 1200 by 20 mm and a diameter of 18 mm cost 50 rubles as of January 2022.

It is easy to notice that materials are available in different price segments. On the TechnoNikol website there is a division into three types of basalt wool: economy, standard and premium. Of course, everything depends not only on financial capabilities, but also on the needs of a particular home.

Where is it used?

Stone wool has a fairly wide range of applications. A large range of products allows you to choose the right material. Performing the function of heat and sound insulation, insulation can protect structures from destructive influences.

Cotton wool is produced in rolls and slabs and comes in different densities, so it can be used both on external and internal areas of objects. The choice of material depends on:

• places where it will be installed;
• climatic features of the area;
• thermal losses of the object.

To provide external thermal insulation, wool with a higher density is used. It protects facades, roofing, and basement.

In other areas, basalt wool with a lower density is used.

There is a difference between technical and industrial insulation. The first is needed when there is a possibility of very high temperatures - above 900 ° C.

Basalt insulation is used for:

• insulation on any structure or building - it can be installed horizontally, vertically, obliquely;
• insulation on plaster;
• thermal insulation of a suspended ventilated facade;
• internal insulation of enclosing structures;
• in sandwich panel systems, concrete panels;

• thermal insulation of the lower layer of roofing structures;
• insulation of attics, attic floors, frame walls;
• thermal insulation in the ceilings and walls of baths and saunas;
• insulation in water supply and chimney structures, steam and ventilation devices, in furnaces.

Insulation is widely used in various industries: metallurgical, chemical and others.

Characteristics of basalt material

Mineral wool provides excellent resistance to cold, significantly superior to any other natural or artificial insulators. But when choosing Rockline insulation from the manufacturer Technonikol, you should start from your personal needs, weighing all the technical advantages and disadvantages of the product.

The thermal conductivity of the material is 0.036 W/m. This indicator fully complies with all the standards that are necessary for installing thermal insulation in cold climates.

Density is 30 kg per cubic meter. m. The indicator is not very high, but it goes well with the compression ratio, which plays a significant role when using insulation indoors and in attics as thermal insulation. Thanks to him, it will be possible to see how much it is possible to tighten the cotton wool without deforming it, because by reducing the effort, it will return to its original shape. A 30% figure is a significant result, which will be quite sufficient for the easy process of installing mineral slabs into frames on the roof or walls.

The products are produced in packs with sheet sizes of 1200×600×50 mm and 1200×600×100 mm. These dimensions are the most popular, as they are conveniently installed in frames and are light in weight. But at the same time, such a thickness of wool is quite enough to provide the structure with the proper degree of thermal insulation in the cold winter. In the case when the layer is not enough, for example, when insulating an attic, the material can be combined with each other or placed in several levels.
