Rockwool 159 (Wired mat)

Product Description

Rockwool 159 is a lightly bonded heavy stone wool mat stitched on galvanised wired mesh with galvanised wire.

Applications

The wired mat is especially suitable for industrial installations such as high-pressure steam pipes, reactors, furnaces, etc. where high demands are made on the temperature resistance of the insulation.

Advantages

• Excellent thermal and acoustic insulation
• Suitable for use over irregular surfaces
• Available in a wide range of thicknesses up to 120 mm
• Suitable for use over stainless steel
