With the development of society, people use more and more new materials, and people pay more and more attention to their health and safety awareness. Rock wool insulation board is widely used in the field of building insulation as a new type of thermal insulation, flame insulation and sound absorption material. Due to more and more applications, it is getting closer and closer to us, and people are unfamiliar with rock wool. More and more friends have begun to care about whether the rock wool insulation board is harmful to the human body. Let me introduce to you whether rock wool will cause harm to you.

Rock wool board is an inorganic fiber board produced from rock wool as the main raw material. Rock wool is an inorganic fiber produced by melting basalt, diabase and other ores at high temperature. The inorganic fiber does not produce toxic and harmful gases during use, and is not harmful to the human body. It is a veritable green and environmentally friendly thermal insulation material. Unlike some traditional thermal insulation materials, it will release harmful gases in daily or high temperature. Rock wool board has the characteristics of non-combustibility, non-toxicity, light weight, insulation, heat insulation, sound absorption and good chemical stability. , in the construction, chemical and other thermal insulation fields have a high market share.

However, rock wool is a discontinuous small fiber of 4~7μm after all. During the production and construction process, if the staff inhales too much fiber, it will cause lung damage. This can be greatly reduced by wearing dust masks and other measures. Possibility of inhalation. Some data show that glass fiber workers are more prone to contact dermatitis, and workers exposed to rock wool have also experienced a small number of allergic people, but it has not been confirmed that these asbestos fibers themselves are allergens. Studies have shown that rock wool dust has a certain biological damage effect on humans and animals, and its biological activity and pathological effects are definitely not as good as asbestos, but we cannot ignore its harm, and we continue to do it with the application of rock wool. Deep research.

Social development has always been a double-edged sword. While we enjoy the convenience and quality brought by technological development, it also brings damage to the environment along with it. Therefore, advocating a "low-carbon" life and minimizing waste and consumption are what we should focus on. Rock wool board brings great comfort and enjoyment to our life, and there is no harm to the body in normal application. If the production and construction personnel are working, they only need to do personal protection according to the specifications.
