Fiber Glass Insulation Board and Roll FIBER GLASS INSULATION BOARD AND ROLL Material Specification : Fiber Glass Wool is an insulating material made from Fibers of glass arranged using a binder into a texture similar to wool. The process traps many small pockets of air between the glass, and these small air pockets result in high thermal insulation properties. Glass wool is produced in rolls or in slabs, with different thermal and mechanical properties. Area of Application: Fiber Glass Wool of various Density and Thickness will be widely used for different application.

  • Thermal and Acoustic Insulating Panels for Buildings
    THERMAL AND ACOUSTIC INSULATING PANELS FOR BUILDINGS RECYCLING TEXTILE WASTE BY ECOFIBRA IN CHILE Since 2018, the company Ecofibra created by the engineer Franklin Zepeda, operates in Chile recycling and transforming textile waste into ecological panels for thermal and acoustic insulation of buildings. Ecofibra's products are manufactured as mats, blankets, sheets and bulk, with different densities, thicknesses and insulating capacities, allowing an efficient shelter of all types of buildings, new houses or renovated. By mixing wood with the insulating mat, Ecofibra also commercializes finished ecological panels. These products have fireproof properties and the same insulation coefficient as the traditional panels available on the market in Chile, while being less expensive. The production process is totally circular: at the end of use, the thermal panels can be returned to the company, which recycles them without generating any waste. The Ecofibra company was created in the municipality of Alto Hospicio in the Tarapacá Region, to solve the problem of the huge quantities of textile waste generated from the import of used clothing in this Free Zone. According to estimates, 80% of the used clothing that arrives in the Region ends up in clandestine dumps near this city. The Ecofibra business project, which is inspired by the principles of circular economy, has been designed in 2016 to create an efficient and ecological alternative for the construction sector, taking advantage of textile waste as a recyclable resource. The 500 sqm plant of Ecofibra was established in 2018 in the municipality of Alto Hospicio, with a capacity to produce 800 panels a day, processing four tonnes a day of textile waste, most of which coming from the surrounding area.

  • Background Report, AP-42, Vol. I, SECTION 11.18 Mineral Wool
    EMISSION FACTOR DOCUMENTATION FOR AP-42 SECTION 11.18 (Formerly 8.16) Mineral Wool Manufacturing 1. INTRODUCTION The document Compilation of Air Pollutant Emission Factors (AP-42) has been published by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) since 1972. Supplements to AP-42 have been routinely published to add new emission source categories and to update existing emission factors. AP-42 is routinely updated by EPA to respond to new emission factor needs of EPA, State and local air pollution control programs, and industry. An emission factor relates the quantity (weight) of pollutants emitted to a unit of activity of the source. The uses for the emission factors reported in AP-42 include: 1. Estimates of areawide emissions; 2. Estimates of emissions for a specific facility; and 3. Evaluation of emissions relative to ambient air quality. The purpose of this report is to provide background information from test reports and other information to support preparation of AP-42 Section 8.16, Mineral Wool Manufacturing. This background report consists of five sections. Section 1 includes the introduction to the report. Section 2 gives a description of the mineral wool industry. It includes a characterization of the industry, an overview of the different process types, a description of emissions, and a description of the technology used to control emissions resulting from mineral wool production operations. Section 3 is a review of emission data collection and laboratory analysis procedures. It describes the literature search, the screening of emission data reports, and the quality rating system for both emission data and emission factors.

  • Chapter 8.2 Man-Made Vitreous Fibres
    Chapter 8.2 Man-made vitreous fibres General description Physical and chemical properties Fibres are divided into naturally occurring and man-made (synthetic) fibres. Each of these groups can be subdivided into organic and inorganic fibres. Man-made vitreous fibres (MMVF) are a large subgroup of inorganic fibres. Fibre dimensions established in the 1960s for the measurement of asbestos fibres are used to denote which fibres should be counted for occupational safety: these are fibre length (FL) > 5 µm, fibre diameter (FD) < 3 µm and aspect ratio (FL/FD) > 3. Vitreous fibres are currently the commercially most important group of fibres, although in future crystalline fibres (e.g. fibres from aluminium oxide, silicon carbide, silicon nitride and carbon) may become increasingly important. MMVF are made from glass, natural rock or any readily fusible slag, and are all amorphous silicates. The terms “glass”, “rock”, “slag” and “ceramic” fibres refer to the starting materials. These terms are used commercially and are now also used in the scientific literature. Consequently, they erroneously create the impression that they denote a biologically relevant delimitation. This is not the case, particularly with regard to their durability in the lung or similar biological milieu. They are also unsuitable terms for the assessment of carcinogenicity, as the properties of the main types currently produced cannot be generally applied to all of the manufactured types bearing the same trade name. To make the final product, manufacturers add a thin binder to the fibres. The composition and proportional quantity of the binder may differ considerably, both between manufacturers and according to requirements for the end product.
