Abstract

AbstractInorganic insulations such as glass wool, rock wool, and ceramic wool have the characteristics of lightweight, low thermal conductivity, high sound-absorbing performance, chemical durability, and non-combustibility. Therefore, these inorganic insulation materials have been widely used as high-quality heat-insulating and sound-absorbing materials in transport systems, the nuclear power industry, and refrigeration as well as buildings. The centrifugal-blow process and flame-blow process are mainly used for the manufacturing of inorganic wools. The chemical composition, classification, fabrication technology, equipment, characteristics, and applications of glass wool, rock wool, and ceramic wool will be discussed in this chapter.KeywordsGlass woolRock woolCeramic woolFabrication technologyFibrous insulation
