When laws are enacted in any society, they certainly aim to serve society and lift the burden on citizens, and laws have been enacted that specialize in the necessity of using thermal insulation in buildings, whether residential, commercial or even government buildings, and there are many thermal insulators on the market, some of which are made from natural materials such as rocks and some of which are made from petrochemical materials.
Rock wool manufacturing
In the rock wool insulation factory, we produce rock wool from volcanic basalt rocks, which are abundant in the Medina region, and rock wool is produced in the form of slabs or rolls. Rock wool is made from basalt molten at 1500 degrees Celsius, then poured onto steel discs that rotate at 4800 r/min to produce rock wool fibers that are collected and pressed in an automatic way, and to make it easier to visualize the production process, it is similar to It is also produced in different thicknesses and densities ranging from 3 cm to 10 cm and from a density of 40 kg / m3 to 170 kg / m3, and it is noted here that there is a big difference as the rock during the production process changes from a density of 3000 kg / m3 to 40 kg / m3.
The most fire-safe material
Rock wool material is considered one of the safest materials when fires occur, as it is a material that does not burn and does not help combustion, and when fires occur, it does not emit any type of toxic gases such as petrochemical materials when a fire occurs, and carbon monoxide is produced in the form of a gas, which is one of the most toxic gases and is called the deadly gas.
World-class production
Rock wool is used in thermal and sound insulation and is used as a fireproof material and prevents the transmission of fire from one place to another, and rock wool is produced according to international standards and specifications and rock wool is considered an environmentally friendly green material, and Saudi specifications have determined the value of the thermal resistance of walls in the main cities of the Kingdom with a value of 2.This value requires the construction of two double walls of red clay bricks with 5 cm thick rock wool between them, and the truth is that although it is said that the cost of construction will increase from the enactment of this law, in fact, it will reduce electricity consumption by at least 70%. .
