Rockwool marine insulation is a type of material used for insulation. Rockwool Marine has various applications and is used for providing sound protection, moisture-improving fire safety, and maintaining optimum indoor climate. The Rockwool marine solution is used in both marine and offshore areas.
Rockwool Marine Insulation is made up of basalt rock, which is a type of volcanic rock and recycled slag.
There are various types of marine insulations available. These insulations are designed for unique applications for both marine and offshore areas.
The popular types of marine insulations available include:
Hull boards insulation
Foam insulation
(sprays, sheets, pour, blocks, etc.)
Mineral Wool Insulation
Rockwool Marine insulation offers various benefits, from thermal insulation and fire protection to sound insulation. Some of the benefits of Rockwool Marine Insulation include:
Thermal insulation is used to decrease the heat transfer between the structure of interest and its surrounding environment. Thermal insulation is used in container shipping vessels to maintain cold temperatures of products that require deep freezing.
Acoustic insulation reduces the sound produced by propellers, engines, turbines, etc. Vibrations from sound can cause issues in the vessel. These sound vibrations can cause structural issues and disturb the persons working or living there. Acoustic insulations limit the vibration and sound transmission.
Rockwool insulation has the ability to withstand high temperatures that can exceed 1000°C. This ability of Rockwool to withstand such high temperatures makes it ideal for fire insulation. Various structures, such as naval vessels, drilling rigs, etc, are prone to severe damage in case of fire. These insulations protect the structure by reducing the susceptibility of fire from spreading across containers.
Rockwool insulation is naturally moisture-resistant. Due to its moisture-resistant property, it provides a long-term life to both marine and offshore structures. Rockwool insulation is also resistant to humidity. Moisture resistance due to Rockwool insulation prevents the formation of mold and provides durability and longevity to the structure.
Rockwool insulation also offers an advantage to the environment. As it is made from natural resources (volcanic rock), it is sustainable. Additionally, the amount of energy required for cooling structures is reduced by Rockwool insulation.
Rockwool is also highly durable and does not degrade for a long time, reducing the need for its replacement.
Rockwool insulation is widely used in marine and offshore regions. The common applications of Rockwool in Marine Environments include:
Rockwool insulation is widely used for marine vessels such as commercial ships, naval vessels, boats, and yachts. It provides thermal protection, fire resistance, and acoustic insulation. In marine vessels, raw cool insulation is widely used in:
Rockwool insulation is used in various offshore platforms like oil rigs. The major concerns of offshore platforms are thermal insulation and fire saftey. Both these concerns have been addressed by Rockwool Insulation.
Maritime infrastructure, such as docks and piers, also benefit from Rockwool Insulation.
Insulation is important in marine environments to ensure the environment is safe for people working on the ship as well as the guests. Insulation in marine environments provides thermal and acoustic insulation, which also makes the surroundings relaxing. Additionally, insulation also reduces the risk of fire spreading from one vessel to another.
