Rockwool 159: 2.2 Insulation Products
Rockwool 159: 2.2 Insulation Products
Applications Advantages
Rockwool 159 is a lightly bonded heavy stone wool mat • Excellent thermal and acoustic insulation
stitched on galvanised wired mesh with galvanised wire. • Suitable for use over irregular surfaces
The wired mat is especially suitable for industrial installations • Available in a wide range of thicknesses up to 120 mm
such as high-pressure steam pipes, reactors, furnaces, etc. • Suitable for use over stainless steel
where high demands are made on the temperature resistance
of the insulation.
