Glass wool is an insulating material made from fibers of glass that is arranged using a binder into a texture
similar to wool. This process traps many small pockets of air between the glass, and these small air pockets
result into the thermal insulation properties that it has with it. Glass wool is produced in rolls or in slabs along
with different thermal and mechanical properties. It can also be manufactured as a material that can be
sprayed or applied in places on the surface that is to be insulated.


Uses of Broad Glass wool

* Glass wool is a thermal insulator that consists of knotted and flexible glass fibers that traps the air
inside resulting in a low density that can be varied through compression and binder content.

* Glass wool can be can be used to insulate flat surfaces such as ceiling tiles, curtain walls, etc. 

* Glass wool is also used to insulate piping and for soundproofing.

Benefits of Broad Glass wool 

There are many benefits of Glass wool and it makes a significant contribution to ensuring safe
workplaces. Some of them are as follows:

* It provides efficient thermal insulation, which reduces energy consumption, and protects
the personnel from hot surfaces. It reduces the fluctuations of temperature in buildings that creates
a safer work environment and also improves comfort and efficiency of the employees.

* Glass wool is an excellent acoustic insulator because it reduces noise pollution and provides
a safer workplace environment in areas where loud noise could cause hearing problems. 

* It makes a place fire-safe because it is incombustible to a great extend and can be used as
a fire barrier in certain applications, that protects the people in case of a fire. 

* Glass wool has no absorption of moisture from the atmosphere and is a neutral pH. There
is no risk of harmful chemicals discharge from the product or corrosion.

* It is very light in weight and also easy to install. It doesn’t settle with time.

* Glass wool has been proven their long term insulation performance and has emerged as
the most cost effective one.

* Extensive medical research has certified it to be safe for use.
