Non-combustible fire performance — Mineral Wool and fire protection
Both glass and rock mineral wool have the highest Euroclass A1 fire classification. Mineral wool is the ideal fire protection material since it is non-combustible, it will not burn, give off toxic smoke or suddenly ignite in a fire due to ‘flashover’.
In fighting fires time is essential, particularly in the first few minutes of a fire. A room fire reaches 700°C in the first fifteen minutes and can then can increase to 1100°C. Fire-resistant materials such as mineral wool provide those extra vital minutes to delay the fire spreading and help save lives, money, property and pollution.
Insurers offer reduced premiums for buildings with upgraded fire protection measures and buildings insulated with non-combustible mineral wool often attract lower insurance premiums.
