ROCKWOOL has launched NyRock technology an evolution in stone wool composition that, through a new patented production process, delivers the lowest lambda stone wool insulation currently available in the UK.
This next generation stone wool insulation has a more efficient fibre structure that can deliver thermal conductivity as low as 0.032 W/mK. Critically, this means that U-values can be met with comparatively thinner constructions, which in the case of external wall applications, creates the potential for additional interior floor space over a given building footprint.
Alongside its improved thermal efficiency, NyRock technology still delivers all the additional benefits of stone wool insulation including durability, the ability to be recycled indefinitely, and its acoustic and fire performance. Comprising naturally non-combustible volcanic rock, ROCKWOOL solutions powered by NyRock technology achieve Euroclass A1 – the highest possible rating – and can withstand temperatures in excess of 1000°C.
NyRock technology will be rolled out across a range of ROCKWOOL insulation solutions during 2022.
“Our new products featuring NyRock technology will be significant for the construction industry, giving specifiers and building owners a true solution to the rapidly evolving needs of the built environment and its biggest challenges,” said Paul Barrett, Head of Product Management at ROCKWOOL UK. “While stone wool insulation is already known for its proven benefits such as longevity, ease of install, circularity, and non-combustibility that is crucial for protecting people and properties, our patented technology builds on these advantages further.”
