of spaces.
Insulation material should be non-corrosive, non-toxic,
moisture-resistant, rot and vermin proof, fire
resistant, light, easy to apply, anti-weathering, durabe,
good insulation and low thermal conductivity.
Characteristics. Density kg/m3, thermal conductivity
(kCal per m per hr per 0C)
Mineral Wool. Fibers spun, melted and blended from
selected rocks. Available in loose wool or resin bonded
mats and pipe section of various thicknesses.
Glass Wool or Fiber Glass. Manufactures from pure flint.
