Product Description
Twiga Glass wool
Glass Wool is made from pure silica sand and will not support combustion even in direct, prolonged contact with flames. It emits no toxic fumes or smoke, the two biggest hazards to health and life in the event of a fire.
Glass wool is suitable for a wide spectrum of application:
- Thermal and acoustic insulation for floors, walls, roof ducts, cavity wall partition, curtain wall, precast structures and prefabricated buildings.
- Thermal insulation of industrial application: Boilers, ovens, refrigerators, storage tanks, plant rooks, marine living quarters, electrical appliances, process vessels and pipe lines (with operating temperatures up to 230°C), humidification / de-humidification plants etc.
- Thermal / acoustic insulation of air ducting and air handling equipments in central air conditioning stations, airport terminals, railway stations, public halls etc.
Superior Thermal and Acoustic PerformanceTwiga Glasswool stands out with low thermal conductivity and exceptional sound absorption, ensuring effective insulation against heat and noise. Its NRC can reach up to 1.0, depending on thickness, making it highly effective for environments requiring quieter, more energy-efficient spaces.
Durability and Fire Safety CertifiedMade to provide long-lasting insulation, Twiga Glasswool is resistant to moisture absorption (only 1% by volume) and certified non-combustible with top fire safety ratings (Class 1/Class O as per BS 476). Its non-corrosive property ensures protection of metal installations.
Eco-Friendly and Versatile ApplicationsManufactured from non-toxic materials, Twiga Glasswool is an environmentally responsible solution, odourless and safe for occupants. Supplied in a variety of forms and facings, it supports versatile uses in roofs, walls, and pipework across India, tailored to project-specific requirements.
