Bring thermal, acoustic and fire performance together with Knauf Rocksilk RS45. This adaptable rock mineral wool slab can be used across numerous insulation applications, reducing the need to keep multiple specialist products on-site. Made using plant-based ECOSE Technology, it provides excellent sound absorption while its non-combustible construction achieves the highest Euroclass A1 reaction to fire classification.
With a melting temperature exceeding 1000C, the rock mineral wool can deliver extended periods of fire resistance compared with many mainstream insulants. RS45 can also be manufactured with a factory-applied foil or tissue facing, extending its suitability across different project requirements.
These slabs possess several important characteristics, such as being odourless, rot-proof, and non-hygroscopic. While providing environments that fail to sustain vermin or encourage the growth of fungi, mould, or bacteria, they also contain no substances that deplete the ozone layer or contribute to greenhouse gas emissions.
Rocksilk RS45 slabs offer hassle-free installation when compared to rigid boards due to their material that accommodates minor imperfections and knits together, reducing any air gaps for superior performance. These slabs are lightweight and easy to use, which makes for effortless handling and straightforward installation with minimal cutting requirements when applicable. Supplied in recyclable polythene packs (4-LDPE), short term protection is provided.
