How to construct tunnel insulation material rock wool board with a density thickness of 50mm

Release Time: 2026-09-24
Share:
The 50mm thick rock wool board used for tunnel insulation is one of the most widely used insulation material specifications in tunnel engineering. The density selection of rock wool board directly affects its insulation effect, compressive strength, and construction performance. 50mm thick rock wool board is the preferred material for fire insulation, cable trench cover insulation, and specific area insulation. Due to the special environment of tunnels (enclosed space, high fire risk, and complex ventilation), there are strict requirements for the fire rating and density of insulation materials (affecting strength and sound insulation).
                                                                             
The core advantages of tunnel insulation material rock wool board are:
1. A-level non flammability (most critical)
2. Excellent sound absorption and noise reduction
3. Hydrophobicity and stability
4. Dimensional stability
5. Excellent fire safety performance

Key points of rock wool board tunnel construction:
1. Base treatment: Remove floating ash and oil stains from the lining surface, ensuring a bonding area of ≥ 40%
2. Wrong seam pasting: The boards should be arranged in a staggered manner, with vertical seams staggered by more than 1/2 of the board length to reduce thermal bridging effects
3. Anchor reinforcement: Add 4-6 anchor bolts per square meter to ensure seismic and wind pressure resistance performance
4. Joint treatment: Fill the board joints with rock wool strips and apply sealing tape to prevent air convection
5. Construction of protective layer: timely apply plastering layer or decorative board to avoid exposure and damage of rock wool during construction
6. Detail processing: Special sealing and insulation treatment should be carried out around through wall pipes, lighting facilities, etc

How to construct tunnel insulation material rock wool board with a density thickness of 50mm? For tunnel engineering, 50mm thick rock wool board with a density of 140-160kg/m ³ is an ideal choice that balances fire safety (Class A), structural strength, and sound absorption and noise reduction. It is mainly used for fire isolation belts and cable protection. Rosewool Insulation Refractory Co.,Ltd. emphasizes that mechanical anchoring and joint tightness must be ensured during construction, and waterproof and moisture-proof measures must be taken to ensure safety and reliability throughout the entire life cycle of the tunnel.

Which type of insulation refractory material is suitable for cement plants?

In the process of cement production, the stable operation of core equipment such as high-temperature kilns and pipelines relies on the support of high-quality insulation and refractory materials. Suitable insulation refractory materials can not only reduce heat loss and energy consumption costs, but also extend equipment service life and ensure production safety, playing a crucial role in the economic benefits and production efficiency of cement plants. However, faced with a wide variety of insulation and refractory materials on the market, many cement plants often find themselves confused when choosing which one is most suitable for their own production needs? As a professional enterprise that has been deeply involved in the field of thermal insulation and refractory materials for many years, Rosewool Insulation Refractory Co.,Ltd provides perfect solutions for cement plants with rich industry experience and high-quality products. ​

How to calculate the price of insulation material rock wool blanket with different densities in aluminum factories?

How to calculate the price of insulation material rock wool blanket with different densities in aluminum factories? Aluminum plants operate under high temperature, vibration, and high dust conditions, and generally use hydrophobic, high-temperature rock wool blankets (GB/T 11835) with a higher density than ordinary buildings. The price calculation of rock wool blankets used in aluminum factories with different densities mainly follows one principle: the higher the density, the more raw materials are used, and the more expensive the price. Simply put, it's like buying a down comforter, the higher the filling amount, the higher the insulation effect and cost. Due to the fact that the factory unit of rock wool blankets is usually calculated in "tons", while actual construction and procurement are often settled in "cubic meters" or "square meters", corresponding unit conversions are required.
