Basalt crumb

Basalt crumb

Basalt crumb (backfill) means crushed scraps left over from basalt wool. Such material is successfully used in the course of filling inter - wall voids, arranging floors, garret rooms, and roofing. The material is characterized by non - flammability, vapor permeability (resistant to moisture accumulation), sound insulation properties, natural origin. In addition, the material does not rot.

Material characteristic

Basalt crumb - loose / blown / stuffed wool, insulation with a high thermal insulation property, a relatively new, economical and easy - to - use material based on mineral wool. Crumb is obtained by dispersing (crushing) mineral wool boards and waste mineral wool using special technological units characterized by high production capacity.

Material qualities

The material is characterized by the following qualities: high heat - saving performance; "Bridges" of cold when using this material are not formed; the ability to insulate surfaces of any thickness; convenience in insulating inaccessible or inaccessible places; affordable price; convenience in storage and transportation; compact and reliable packaging; vapor permeability and noise insulation

The material is supplied in bags, in a loose and free - flowing state. Compared with other options for existing thermal insulation (slag, sawdust, expanded clay, etc. ), the material surpasses them in technical characteristics

The main advantages of the material

Among the positive qualities are the following:

raw materials of natural origin (product of molten basalt rock), which does not contain blast - furnace slags or additives; high fire safety. The material does not burn, due to which it is recognized as a high - quality refractory insulation; the main field of application of basalt crumbs based on mineral wool is insulation of walls, ceilings, attics, inter - wall space.

 

The advantages of insulation

As a result of the use of insulation - basalt crumbs, the client gets the effect of: reducing heat loss in the cold season (basalt filling is up to 25% more effective than foam crumbs in terms of thermal insulation); lowering the cost of heating living space; additional sound insulation; high vapor permeability and water - repellent properties, which prevents the accumulation of condensate; long service life due to the inorganic composition of the material, which does not lend itself to decay and fungal infections.
