Rock Wool Testing

Rock wool is a man-made inorganic fiber material produced by melting natural rocks (e.g., basalt, dolomite) at temperatures exceeding 1450°C, followed by a centrifugal process. It features high thermal insulation efficiency, Class A non-combustibility (fireproof), sound absorption and noise reduction, water repellency and moisture resistance, as well as environmental friendliness and durability. China is the world’s largest exporter of rock wool. In 2024, China’s rock wool production capacity accounted for 53% of the global total, with exports primarily going to Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America.
