Rock wool is a common fireproof and thermal insulation material. However, when ordinary rock wool blankets are used to cover the surface of equipment, they may encounter the problem of insufficient tensile strength. In order to enhance the tensile strength and thermal shock resistance of rock wool blankets,Wire-meshed rock wool blanket was developed.
Wire-meshed rock wool blanket is a flexible roll-form product crafted by stitching rock wool blankets with an outer layer of galvanized wire mesh or fiberglass cloth. This additional reinforcement layer enhances the strength and toughness of the rock wool blanket, making it particularly suitable for applications requiring extra support and protection.
Due to its reinforced structure, the stitched blanket demonstrates excellent performance in high-temperature and high-vibration environments. It is widely used for thermal insulation, fire protection, and acoustic noise reduction in large-scale pipeline networks, storage tanks, vessels, furnaces, and ductwork. It is especially well-suited for high-temperature or high-vibration locations and areas with stringent fire safety requirements.
Compared with ordinary rock wool blankets, it has the following advantages
1. Better compressive performance:
Wire-meshed rock wool felt adds a wire mesh structure on the basis of rock wool felt, which makes it have better compressive performance and is suitable for buildings and equipment that need to bear weight. Ordinary rock wool felt is relatively soft and has poor compressive performance.
2. Higher safety:
Wire-meshed rock wool felt has better fire and moisture resistance due to the addition of wire mesh, which can effectively protect the safety of buildings and equipment. Although ordinary rock wool felt also has certain fire resistance, it is relatively weak in moisture resistance and pressure resistance
3. Wider application scenarios:
Wire-meshed rock wool felt is suitable for more scenarios that require load-bearing and high safety requirements, such as large industrial equipment, bridges, tunnels, etc. due to its excellent compressive and safety performance. Ordinary rock wool felt is more suitable for places with light loads and general insulation requirements.
4. Convenience of installation and maintenance:
Although the installation of wire-meshed rock wool felt is relatively complicated, it is more stable and durable, reducing the maintenance frequency. Ordinary rock wool felt is relatively simple to install, but may require more maintenance in long-term use.
