Insulation mats. Basalt mats for thermal insulation of engineering systems

Basalt fiber embroidered mats are produced from various types of inorganic slags, which are obtained as a by-product in the blast-furnace industry. They are sold in rolls which, when unfolded, form a wide rectangular canvas. Basalt mats are used to provide thermal insulation of buildings and structures of civil and industrial use during construction work.

Advantages of basalt mats:

• reliable thermal insulation in a wide temperature range (from -180°С to +700°С);
• high resistance to fire - even at temperatures above 1000 ° C, only sintering of the material occurs;
• excellent property - damping of sound waves due to maximum porosity;
• the material is inert with respect to various chemically active substances: solvents, acids and alkalis;
• not subject to rotting, as well as to the influence of mold fungi and other microorganisms;
• the ability to absorb many types of radiation, which allows the use of mats at nuclear and thermal power plants.

A very popular building material for citizens, in industrial construction are pierced stone wool mats, which have a number of advantageous sides.

They are used in works: heat-insulating, sound-proofing, insulating equipment with high temperature, gas ducts, electric filters and steam pipelines. The use of this material is in demand in various types of construction industry.

It is about this product in this article that we will now discuss. Note that it is not dangerous.

1 General information

Stitched mats are a material made of basalt, which has a fire retardant effect. It is sold in rolls or in the form of a slab.

Its main advantage is incombustibility. For a heater, this quality is extremely important. After all, walls, ceilings, floors, and indeed, almost all structures are trimmed with heat-insulating materials.

Using flammable insulation means deliberately endangering yourself. Mineral wool, on the other hand, does not face such problems, and therefore it is so seriously valued in the professional field.

Consider the composition of pierced products from mineral wool with:

• the mat has a galvanized coating;
• steel and galvanized mesh;
• metal wire stitching it.

All this provides insulation rigidity, and serves as a relief installation work. Proper storage is an important factor.

1.1 How to store?

It is necessary to store mats: in hidden warehouses, under a hanging structure, the function of which is protection and safety (against weather changes). It is important to make sure that they will not be affected by atmospheric indicators. In particular, the vulnerability of mineral wool to rain and precipitation.

Before laying mats for storage (for example, if it is), it is necessary to place them in special containers, the second option is to stack them on pallets. The stack parameters are 3 m. However, here it is already necessary to focus on specific products that are in the public domain.

It is possible that in your situation there will be other variations of storage equipment at hand. There is nothing wrong with that. The main thing is to protect the material and lay it correctly.

1.2 Basic quality standards

Quality standards are the following indicators:

1. Brands of mats that are made: 35, 75, 50, 100, 125.
2. There is a temperature indicator that has a limit when using this material.
3. There must be compliance with nominal dimensions and with permissible deviations in dimensions. For example: with a length of 1000 - 6000 mm - a deviation of ± 2% is permissible. With a width of 500, 1000 (mm) ± one and a half% is permissible. If thickness: 40 - 120 (mm) ± 10% is acceptable.

There are such exceptions, especially for:

• The production of mats having other sizes is allowed, to order of the consumer.
• If the mat has a construction purpose, then “-” deviations associated with the width are not allowed.
• If the mat is issued for thermal insulation work in pipelines, “-” deviations associated with the length are permissible.

1. Mandatory firmware mats. A continuous seam should go: longitudinally, transversely. Cladding required. The lining is stitched in an amount of 4 to 6 times when the length is within 2000 mm. Mats without covers have much more mediocre properties, so they are not popular.

In some cases, they are produced without stitching when they come in rolls produced from a binder on synthetics. The manufacturing process ends with the stage of exit from the chamber department.

There passes heat treatment. Rolls after the last stage of production are subject to packaging in kraft paper products.

1. The firmware must comply with the prescribed standards.
2. Unacceptable: tearing adjacent stitches; exceeding the gap by more than 10% along the length of the seams. Opening seams is also prohibited.
3. The necessary conditions for designations are: their abbreviation in the name of products, standards and lining; a brand indicating density characteristics is included; nominal size.

There are requirements for raw materials, its materials, namely:

According to GOST number 4640 - when producing stitched mats, mineral wool is required. The most commonly used mineral wool is Nobasil, mineral wool MINMAT REVERBERI (thermal insulation processes), mineral wool ROCKWOOL.

Rockwool mineral wool (used in stitched mats) is subject to two standards: "80" and "105".

Rockwool mineral wool mats are often used in the insulation of high-temperature surfaces, for the insulation of pipes and pipelines. There are also foil mats made of Rockwool mineral wool, which are designed for: thermal insulation and anti-condensation insulation.

Mineral wool is a fibrous material. Its structure depends on the raw material and its production. Mineral wool is produced in two main forms: rolls and comes as slabs. Minvata has a lot of advantages. For example, thermal conductivity, durability, sound absorption.

Mineral wool is widely used in many construction processes. Mineral wool slabs are used for facade insulation. Such plates are characterized by a density of 140 kg/cu.m. These plates have a protective function - water absorption. For stable geometry of plate products, gaps are not allowed.

Comparing them to expanded polystyrene, mineral wool boards are heavier, but they absorb water more. The choice of mineral wool slab will serve as the right solution for industrial construction. Mineral wool slabs are also softer than styrofoam boards.

Synthetic resins (water-soluble) are used for binding, and oily, organosilicon additives are used as water-repellent additives.

A metal mesh made of basalt and silica fabric is used for lining. Threads are stitching material.

The entire composition of the mat is indicated by the manufacturing company in special documentation. The production of stitched mats requires compliance with GOST.

1.3 Benefits and features

There are three main benefits:

1. This material, as well as quite convenient and fast for installation.
2. Resistant to chemicals.
3. Fire resistant.

Heat-insulating, sound-proofing and other types of materials with a quality certificate. The quality certificate indicates the manufacture of products according to GOST requirements, parameters. When selling all building materials, stores present a certificate of quality.

Certificate of quality - guarantees the service life of the material for a long period. Its correct assessment and reliability are also important.

There are a lot of manufacturing companies that can offer a huge selection of pierced mineral wool mats that comply with GOST. All mats have stickers and the specified GOST. And GOST, as you know, determines: quality, usefulness.

Each building material tested according to GOST standards is given a number. Each GOST is developed by a committee responsible for standardization.

GOST also contains: rules for storage, acceptance, testing methods and transportation of pierced mineral wool mats.

Heat-insulating pierced mats made of stone wool are one of the effective ones. The need to use mats is quite high. The size of the mats, the parameters of the mats, the characteristics of the mats - everything is maintained by the manufacturer.

Heat-insulating stitched mats are produced with the addition of a binder, in an amount of 2%. The thermal insulation properties are formed by the presence in the structure of many channels, where the air is stationary and from the minimum thermal conductivity.

Mineral mats are environmentally friendly, which is a significant added benefit.

Soundproof embroidered mineral wool mats are often used by power stations, petrochemical facilities. Among pierced soundproof mats, there are very quality material from the company TECHNONICOL.

Types of mineral wool mats include 3 more types of such materials: foil, laminated and lamella.

The use of stitched mats is gaining momentum every year, because the construction industry is developing at a rapid pace.

The share of use of pierced mineral wool mats in pipe insulation is also growing, as well as the use of pierced mats in insulation work in steam pipelines. A stitched mat is an excellent help in many issues in industrial and civil construction.

1.4 Insulation of pipes in industry with stitched mats (video)

Mats are highly demanded products. This is due to the versatility that mats differ in, and their excellent operational characteristics. This is a very effective thermal insulation.

Scope of heat-insulating mats

Thermal insulation mats are used in a wide variety of fields. Among them:

• construction of civil and industrial types, where mats are used;
• creation of internal sound and heat insulation of floors, walls, pipes, frame-type partitions, tanks, boilers, chimneys;
• ensuring fire protection of facilities where mats are used;
• thermal and sound insulation of thermal equipment, hardening and heating furnaces.

Properties of thermal insulation fiber

Mats of this type are also called foil mats. Them distinctive feature is a thinness of about 3 centimeters. A special foil type material is attached to the base of the product. It is intended to be located directly under the pipes, as a result of which the heat transfer of the warm floor increases.

Polystyrene mats have excellent technological characteristics. Among them:

• resistance to burning, characteristic of mats;
• excellent heat-insulating properties, which these mats possess;
• resistance to aggressive influences environment, as well as a variety of chemical compounds, which distinguishes this thermal insulation;
• resistance to vibrations, which distinguish mats.

All these features provided the material with a very wide scope of application. The use of heat-insulating mats is advisable in various areas of shipbuilding, thermal power engineering, aircraft engineering, oil and gas industry, etc. An additional advantage that distinguishes the mat is its perfect non-toxicity and environmental safety, which makes it possible to use this heat-insulating material even in educational and medical institutions.

Thermal insulation mats: advantages

Such heat-insulating material as mats made of basalt fiber has many advantages. Among them it is worth noting:

• excellent ability to provide thermal and sound insulation;
• fire safety and fire resistance given material belongs to the flammability class NG);
• resistance to the effects of microorganisms and rodents, the occurrence of decay;
• high parameters of vapor permeability, ensuring the preservation of the level of diffuse resistance of structures;
• excellent hygroscopicity;
• availability of a wide range of standard sizes.

By individual order, it is possible to manufacture heat-insulating mats of any size. We will create mats for you necessary forms and sizes.
Mats have a wide range of applications. They are suitable for use as:

• building thermal insulation, insulating floors, walls, ceilings, partitions of various building structures, tanks and boilers;
• thermal insulation intended for ships;
• insulation in industrial equipment and units;
• thermal insulation of boiler room equipment.

Mats can be various types and species that differ in the composition of the rocks used. They are divided (depending on indicators such as fiber thickness) into coarse, thick, thick, super-thin, ultra-thin and micro-thin. In order to obtain material for the mats, blowing heads with different shapes are used in production, as well as various types of spray devices. In our company you can buy different kinds mats at an affordable cost. Our mats are different high quality and reasonable price. We are glad to mutually beneficial cooperation!

It was smooth on paper, but they forgot about the ravines. The words of this saying very accurately reflect the mistakes in the production of insulation work. Often conducting thermal insulation of the building, about the insulation engineering networks do not think, which leads to heat loss in an openly laid heating plant, freezing of water supply and sewerage pipes.

Ignoring technical insulation in residential, civil, industrial, military construction leads to disastrous consequences and high material costs. As effective protection and isolation engineering systems heat-insulating basalt mats are used.

Basalt heat-insulating mats are used as thermal insulation:

• ventilation and air conditioning systems;
• pipes for the removal of heated gases;
• electrostatic precipitators;
• tanks for storage of liquids and liquefied gases;
• power and other equipment;
• flat and curved horizontal and vertical planes at industrial facilities (exceptions are food production buildings);
• feeding systems hot water and superheated steam;
• pipelines in the oil and gas industry.

Basalt heat-insulating mats provide heat, sound, vapor barrier, as well as decorative trim indoor equipment.

So they are good?

The heat-insulating mat is made from fibers obtained by melting natural volcanic stone - basalt. It defines the main characteristics and properties of pierced basalt mats.

Good heat holding capacity is achieved by the presence of a large number still air in the voids of the mat. It is in the range of 0.035 - 0.04 units.

Materials made of mineral fibers have increased resistance to moisture due to the stone base and hydrophobic impregnation. The maximum amount of moisture is 1% of the insulation volume.

Basalt fiber mats are distinguished by high chemical inertness to various kinds of chemically active substances, metals, mortars and materials, oil products. Upon contact with them, they do not collapse, do not lose their integrity and thermal insulation ability.

Biological stability is on top. The materials do not spread fungus and mold inside themselves and on their surface, do not rot, do not serve as food for rodents and insects. For representatives of the animal world, it is extremely difficult to equip dwellings in the internal volumes of a heat insulator.

Basalt mat belongs to the category of non-combustible heaters due to the stone component. The exclusion from the production of a binder in the form of formaldehyde resin completely eliminated the release harmful substances into the atmosphere when heated and melted. Unlike general building insulation, they have a fairly wide operating temperature range: - 180 to + 570 ° C.

The flashing of the entire volume with glass roving without adhesive composition provides a certain mobility of the fibers. This allows basalt heat-insulating mats to take the form of insulated systems with the most complex configuration without loss of integrity.

The heat-insulating mat has sufficient environmental safety, which is confirmed by the relevant environmental certificates. Work with it can be carried out in the presence of the simplest means of protection. It is not recommended to neglect their use during installation.

In mats, the insulation has a sufficient density (about 35 - 45 kg / m 3) to simultaneously be an excellent soundproofing barrier. This quality especially important in the construction and reconstruction of production facilities.

Stitched thermal insulation materials have a sufficiently high vapor permeability, which creates favorable conditions for the withdrawal of saturated water vapor from the equipment through the insulation (mats) into the environment.

The use of igneous rock as the starting material makes it possible to provide the heater with an infinite service life. However, it is impossible to exclude the harmful effects of natural factors, as well as the loss of stiffness of the fibers during operation, which will inevitably lead to material compaction and an increase in the specific thermal conductivity. According to the manufacturers, the heat-insulating mat has a service life of 25 years.

Very close to them in quality are heat-insulating mats made of glass staple fiber, produced in accordance with GOST 10499-95. But they have one significant drawback - extremely low environmental safety, especially during installation. Sufficiently serious protection of the skin, respiratory organs and eyesight of installers is required.

Linear dimensions

Mineral mats different manufacturers have different sizes and the same rectangular shape. Due to the similarity of the main operational parameters, it is not necessary to be tied to any one manufacturer. It is necessary to choose those materials that are optimally suited to the insulated equipment, installation, pipeline.

The length varies from 2.4 to 12 meters depending on the thickness. It causes convenience of warehousing and transportation to the place of work.

Stitched mats have a width of 1 or 1.2 m. This value allows one person to perform insulation work, subject to safety requirements.

The thickness ranges from 20 to 100 mm, ensuring the selection of such a layer thickness that will allow insulation to be carried out according to the calculated values ​​with savings Money for purchase.

Additional layers and accessories

To give a part of the manufactured products, various lining materials are used, which allow you to change the maximum temperature of use:

Foil insulation mats are often used for insulation refrigeration units. The foil layer provides a reflection of infrared external radiation, thereby ensuring the preservation low temperatures in refrigeration piping.

For the convenience of work, some manufacturers produce mats with clamps. They will allow without extra cost fix the heat-insulating layer on any linearly extended object.

Mineral wool mats will provide the necessary temperature conditions for the operation of any production and technological equipment with minimal cost when purchasing, installing and operating.
