I believe that the small partners who have been in contact with glass wool products know that if the skin is in direct contact with glass wool products, there will be itching for a long time. It may be the cause of this harm, and it may be some irresponsible media misunderstanding and reporting, in recent years, the topic of whether glass wool products are banned in our country has caused widespread concern. So, is the glass wool product really banned?

First of all, we need to understand the basic ingredients and characteristics of glass wool products. Glass wool is an inorganic fiber material made from quartz sand or recycled glass through high temperature melting and centrifugal fiber forming process. It has the advantages of low thermal conductivity, sound insulation, noise reduction, fire retardant, corrosion resistance, etc., so it is widely used in various fields.

In fact, China currently does not have a comprehensive ban on glass wool products, in compliance with relevant standards and regulations, glass wool products can still be used.

Of course, substandard glass wool products are prohibited, for example, according to the "Indoor Air quality standards" provisions, the release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of glass wool board should be less than 0.5mg/m3, if it exceeds this limit, it will affect indoor air quality.

At the same time, different regions have different policies to restrict the use of glass wool products. For example, Shanghai restricts the use of glass wool as a packaging material for smoke control pipes, and recommends the use of rock wool. Anhui Province limits glass wool insulation board as external insulation material. Shanxi Province limits glass wool and its products as exterior wall insulation materials. Tianjin limits non-alkali resistant fiberglass mesh fabric as external wall insulation material. Hunan province limit foam glass as external insulation material.

The restriction on the use of glass wool products in the above areas does not mean that glass wool products are not environmentally friendly, harmful, etc., but that the fire performance of glass wool products cannot meet the requirements of local policies, so the use will be restricted.

Besides, we all know that asbestos is banned in our country. Many people mistakenly think that glass wool is asbestos, so there is a rumor that glass wool products are banned by the state. Here Utsen insulation material manufacturers say again, glass wool is not asbestos, do not get confused.
