As an excellent thermal insulation material, rock wool is widely used for its good thermal insulation, fire prevention and sound absorption properties. As a common category of rock wool products, rock wool board and rock wool shell are similar in material, but there are significant differences in shape, application scenarios and installation methods.

1. Shape and structure

Rock wool tube shell is a prefabricated product specially designed for pipe insulation, in the shape of a cylinder and hollow inside. This structure allows the rockwool shell to be placed directly over the pipe, providing an effective thermal insulation layer for the pipe. The rock wool board is a flat plate-like product, with a certain length and width, which can be cut into different sizes according to actual needs, and is suitable for thermal insulation of various planes or curved surfaces.

2. Application scenarios

Rock wool shell is mainly used in industrial and civil buildings in various pipelines, such as heating pipes, cooling pipes and hot water pipes, the purpose is to reduce heat loss, improve energy efficiency, but also play a certain role in fire prevention and sound absorption. The rock wool board has a wider range of applications, not only can be used for building wall, roof, ground and other parts of the thermal insulation, but also can be used for partition wall, ceiling and other parts of the sound insulation and fire prevention.

3. Installation method

Due to the difference in structure, the installation methods of rock wool shell and rock wool board are also different. The rockwool shell is usually fitted to the pipe through the incision, and then fixed with adhesive or other fixing methods, which is relatively easy to install. The installation of the rock wool board needs to be selected according to its application scenario, which may include pasting, anchoring, or mechanical fixing. The installation process is more flexible, but it may require more labor and time.

Sum up

Although rockwool shell and rockwool board are similar in material, their differences in shape, application scenarios and installation methods determine their unique advantages and application areas. Choosing the right rock wool products can not only improve the performance of the project, but also save cost and construction time to a certain extent. Therefore, in practical applications, reasonable choices should be made according to specific needs and conditions.
