Acoustic Performance
Thermofoam Glass Wool with its outstanding acoustic performance has excellent acoustic absorption characteristics. Whether it is sound insulation for industry, commercial premises, public buildings, or domestic applications, Thermofoam Insul outperforms others. Acoustic Insulation values of: Thickness (mm) 25 50 100 Noise Reduction Coefficient 0.71 – 0.89 0.75 – 0.95 >0.85 Sound Absorption Class Class B Class B – Class A Class B – Class A Test Standard ASTM C 423 / ISO 354
Twiga Insul for Thermal and Acoustic Insulation
Thermal Performance Cooling costs in a building insulated throughout with glass wool can be reduced significantly. The use of glass wool for the thermal insulation of external walls and ceilings has been shown to reduce energy consumption by 20% to 30%.
FIRE SAFETY
- Thermofoam Insul glasswool made from pure silica sand will not support combustion even in direct, prolonged contact with flames.
- It does not emit toxic fumes or smoke, which are the two biggest health hazards during a fire.
- Glass wool is a complete fire-safe product complying with the following standards:
- BS (British Standard) 476 part 4, ISO 1182, IS 3808, International Maritime Organization (IMO) - NON-COMBUSTIBLE (best class).
- Reaction to fire A1 as per EN 13501 (best class).
- BS 476 part 6 – Does not PROPAGATE FIRE.
- BS 476 part 7- Class 1 - SURFACE SPREAD OF FLAME is NIL.
- Class 0 complied (best class).
- BS 476 part 5 – Designated as P - (not easily ignitable).
- BS 6853 (toxicity index 0.65) - NON-EMISSION OF SMOKE and TOXIC GASES.
