Working Temperature
Fiber : Up to 750 °C
Facing : 100 °C
At temperatures in excess of 230 °C a limited migration of binder may occur in the insulation in contact with the hot face. This does not impair the insulation performance.
Moisture Absorption Performance
TUFFINSUL Rigid Slabs absorb less than 1% by volume when tested in accordance with BS 2972, ASTM C1104 / 1104 M, and do not absorb moisture from ambient air or from water by capillary action. Only water under pressure can enter into stone wool insulation products; however, it quickly dries out due to the open cell structure of Rigid Slabs. When tested in accordance to ASTM E96, FSK-faced Rigid Slabs achieve water vapour permeability of ≤ 0.02 perm, ALG-faced Rigid Slabs achieve zero water vapour permeability.
Applications
TUFFINSUL Rigid Slabs are used for thermal and acoustic insulation where high compressive strength is required such as over-deck, floors, sandwich panels, and dry wall partitions.
