Jacketing is field applied. Available as flexible blanket, rigid board, pipe insulation and other pre-molded shapes. The product is noncombustible and has good sound absorption qualities. Ck form capable of being fabricated into pipe insulation and various shapes. Good structural strength, poor impact resistance.
Material is noncombustible, non-absorptive and resistant to many chemicals.
The material has a practically neutral pH, is noncombustible, and has good sound control qualities. The rock is expanded by heating, causing the water to vaporize and the rock volume to expand. This creates a cellular structure of minute air cells surrounded by vitrified product. Added binders resist moisture penetration and inorganic fibers reinforce the structure. The material has low shrinkage and high resistance to substrate corrosion.
