As a global leading manufacturer in the production of stone wool products, ROCKWOOL has officially launched its new generation of stone wool products, NGF, in the Chinese market, following over eighty years of in-depth research in the field of stone wool performance innovation and continuous optimization of production processes. The NGF products were officially released at the Shanghai International Green Building and Construction Material Expo and the 2023 International Green and Low-Carbon Technology Exhibition. As an innovative fireproof and thermal insulation stone wool product, NGF adopts a new production formula and industry-leading production technology, achieving a balanced improvement in various quality performance and health and safety characteristics.
ROCKWOOL NGF products have better fire safety performance, with high-temperature resistance improved by more than 15% compared to traditional stone wool; the fiber composition is stable, and the acidity coefficient index is optimized to above 2.0, bringing excellent performance in durability and weather resistance, and a longer service life; using electric furnaces for low-carbon production, its carbon emissions during production are reduced by 60% compared to traditional blast furnaces, further enhancing the carbon reduction effect over a longer service life.
In terms of material health and safety, which has received much attention, NGF stone wool fibers have achieved a breakthrough. Its fiber components have biodegradable characteristics, with the half-disappearance period in the human body shortened by four times, from the conventional 80-100 days to within 20 days, ensuring that a small amount of fibers inhaled into the human body can be decomposed and expelled more quickly, safeguarding human health.
As an industry-innovative fireproof and thermal insulation stone wool product, ROCKWOOL NGF product also performs better in energy saving and carbon reduction. The application of NGF product in buildings and industry can bring more healthy and safe, durable and stable fireproof and thermal insulation energy-saving effects, help improve energy efficiency, and play a role in promoting sustainable development of society. The launch of NGF products in the Chinese market reflects ROCKWOOL's commitment to providing local users with the highest quality fireproof and thermal insulation products.
The innovation in fiber performance has significantly improved the quality performance and health and safety performance of stone wool materials. The application of ROCKWOOL NGF products in building exterior walls, roofs, and internal partitions will bring significant improvements in related building performance: more guarantees in fire safety, enhanced durability and weather resistance help reduce maintenance costs, reduce more carbon emissions over a longer usage cycle, and are beneficial to the physical health of construction personnel and internal staff. ROCKWOOL NGF products also meet the higher demands in industrial application scenarios for insulation materials in terms of fireproofing, energy saving, noise reduction, and durability and stability. As a safer, more reliable, energy-efficient, and healthy stone wool product, ROCKWOOL NGF products provide a better option for consumers in choosing high-quality fireproof and thermal insulation stone wool materials.
