Among the many thermal insulation materials, mineral wool products have an advantage with regard to fire safety issues. One of them is Basvul. It is used when performing a wide variety of types of insulation work. There are different types of building material: Basvul Light, Standard, Flor P, ECOROCK, Basvul Vent facade, as well as other technical characteristics of which show the high quality of products.
What is Basvul?
Stone wool made from basalt rock. To obtain the fiber raw material is treated at a temperature above 1000 ° C. Portions bonded organic resins. Basvul made on the modern enterprise in Blagoveshchensk near Ufa. The first batches of insulation have been released in the summer of 2011.
This basalt wool used in the processing of private buildings, commercial buildings, and industrial facilities. The price is affordable, so spend insulating work using this heater can even those who have money do not allow the use of expensive building materials.
Material Specifications
Given the location of the application of mineral wool, a description of its technical specifications will vary. The following are the basic parameters:
- Density - from 25 to 225 kg / m3.
- Indicator thermal conductivity is from 0.035 to 0.042 W / (m * K).
- Flammability - A1. This level is assigned to the sub-species that are not susceptible to fire, that is, stop the spread of fire.
- Permeability is about 0.3 mg / (h * m * Pa).
- Water absorption - no more than 1% by weight, not more than 2% of the total.
Advantages disadvantages
This building material can be used for facades, interior work.
Insulation baswool in slabs produced standard rectangular shape - 120 * 60 cm. The thickness of the slabs produced in the interval from 5 to 20 cm.
Different sizes of insulation products allow you to select precisely the thickness, which is necessary for the purpose of high-quality insulation.
Other advantages are the following factors:
- Fire protection - it is completely fireproof.
- High level of sound insulation.
- Good water vapor permeability.
- Environmentally friendly. Such material in use will not cause any harm to living in a house that is insulated them.
- The material does not rot, and are not exposed to bugs, germs.
- It has a long operating period - 40 years.
Subject to the rules of installation, mineral wool does not deform over time. Its properties are not changed.
- Easy installation.
- It has low water absorption. Because moisture has a detrimental effect on insulation, this factor is important.
List of deficiencies:
- As for any mineral wool, undesirable contact with water. Although this model is hygroscopic, it should still protect it from rain and high humidity. This means that when the facade work is necessary as soon as possible to do plastering surfaces (for wet facades). For ventilation facades wool must be covered if rain is expected.
- When the installation work is necessary to provide yourself with all the necessary means of individual protection. We must work with gloves, goggles, a respirator. Clothing should be with long sleeves.
What are the varieties
Each heater has a wide range of models used in different areas of insulation. This is true of Basvule.
Baswool Light 45
Settings and features Basvul Light 45 allow its use under insulation partition walls, interior drywall partitions, roofs, floors, attic. Also it is possible to insulate the floor, putting it between the joists.
It is produced in plates at a density of 30-50 kg / m3. There are different models of insulation Light 30, 35, 45. The number indicates the density of the material.
Baswool Facade
It is available in slabs density of 110-160kg / m3. This building material is used for insulating a facade with the subsequent plastering and decorative trim. Speaking about the properties Basvul Façade thermal conductivity may be noted 0,036-0,040 W / (m * K), the peel strength of 15-21 kp (index depends on the density, the higher it is, the greater the peel strength).
Baswool Vent Facade
It is available in slabs of 80, 90 kg / m3.
The name appears a number indicating the density of the mineral wool.
These two models the compressive strength is respectively 17, 20 kPa. The peel strength of the layers - 6 8 kPa. Water absorption by volume is 1.5%. Accordingly, throughout the lineup.
Basvul Vent Facade considered noncombustible, it prevents the spread of fire.
Baswool Standard
This model is produced in slabs of different density - 50, 60, 70 kg / m3. It is used as a layer in the wall material made from small. It is used for thermal insulation of the frame in a room outside the building. Facade insulation Baswool standard does not suggest plastering plates. Such an embodiment is intended to finish siding.
Standard Basvul absorbs no more than 1.5% moisture content (volume percentage). The thickness of the plates is 3 to 20 cm.
Baswool Flor
It is made for insulating floors. It can be laid under the screed floating structure. It is also used for floor heating. Basvul Flor has soundproof quality. Density - 100-120 kg / m3.
Baswool ROOF
This model is designed for a single-layer insulation of flat roofs. Plates made hydrophobing. Such a material is applied by pouring a screed roof. Produced he density of 140-160 kg / m3. The compressive strength of the plates is respectively 50, 60 kPa.
To see the above-described characteristics of a heater, you need the model that corresponds to the type of the planned insulation work.
