Can your product(s) be substituted by another product(s)? If so, please list your product(s) and substituted product(s). There are alternatives to mi neral wool insulation, but these substitutes are not likely to possess the same fire performance capabilities (mineral woolis non-flammable or noncombustible) as mineral wool, nor have the same versatility

to be installed in various applications as mi neral wool, nor have recycled content (mineral wool can have up to 90% recycled content), nor possess many

other attributes of mineral wool insulation products. Therefore, while substitutes exist, they lack the same performance characteristics that make mi neral wool a unique insulation choice. Moreover, substitutes cannot be universally installed or applied in the traditional m ineral wool applications.
