Twiga Glass Wool
Twiga Glass Wool is a lightweight, compressible insulation material, consisting of fine, long, inorganic glass fibers bonded together by a high temperature binder. The product is light gold in colour and its superior tensile strength, handleability and resilience offer significant advantages during transport and installation. These unique characteristics of glass wool, combined with its fire safe properties, make it especially suitable for a wide variety of thermal and acoustic insulation applications, ranging from duct and metal roof insulation to applications in solar collectors and generator acoustic enclosures.
Temperature Range Twiga Insul is suitable for applications ranging from minus 195ºC to 230ºC. For special applications upto 450ºC, high temperature binder is available. Aluminium foil
facing is suitable upto 120ºC.
Chemical Stability Twiga Insul is chemically inert. Application does not cause or accelerate corrosion. Twiga insul is rot proof and odourless. Fire Safety Twiga Insul is non-combustible in accordance with BS 476 Part 4, ISO 1182,
IS 3808 and IMO (FTP).- conforms to Class ’O’ as per BS 476 Part 6 & 7
- conforms to Class 1 as per BS 476 Part 7
- non emission of dense smoke and toxic gases (Toxicity index 0.65 as per BS 6853)
- non depletion of oxygen (high oxygen index of 70)
Biological Twiga Insul is inorganic. Does not encourage growth of fungi and vermin. Dimensional Twiga Insul is stable under varying conditions of temperature and humidity when applied correctly. Excellent tear strength and not prone to sagging or settling. Rigid
slabs have inherently high compression resistance.Vibration and Jolting Resistance Conforms to IS 3144 / BS 2972. Moisture Content Less than 2% in accordance with IS 3144 / BS 2972.
