Water Repellent Rigid Glass Wool Board
Heavy duty rubber stop bumpers are precision-molded elastomeric components designed to limit mechanical travel, absorb heavy kinetic impacts, and reduce noise and vibration between dynamic and stationary assemblies.
The product consists of bonded glass fibers with a hydrophobic treatment, providing controlled thickness and density for precise cutting, fitting, and mechanical fixing.

Key Performance Considerations
Thermal Performance: Thermal conductivity is the primary parameter for calculating insulation thickness. Determine thickness based on declared thermal conductivity ($\lambda$) to achieve target overall U-values for the building envelope or mechanical system.
Water-Repellent Performance: Hydrophobic treatment limits water uptake during high-humidity exposure, construction-site rain delays, or occasional water contact, preserving thermal integrity without replacing weather barriers or vapor retarders.
Board Stability & Mechanical Strength: Density and thickness tolerances are maintained within tight limits for consistent handling. For high-load assemblies (such as heavy wall cladding or floor applications), compressive strength must be matched with the specific mechanical fixing method.
Fire Performance: Fire ratings should be confirmed via certified test documentation. Non-combustible mineral wool boards contribute to structural fire safety and flame-spread prevention in commercial and industrial structures.
Applications
Building Wall Insulation: Exterior curtain walls, cavity walls, and rainscreen systems requiring stable board handling, fire safety, and moisture protection.
Roof and Ceiling Systems: Flat or pitched roof assemblies needing consistent insulation thickness and straightforward mechanical attachment.
HVAC & Mechanical Piping: External duct wrapping and mechanical equipment insulation. For chilled or below-ambient systems, a continuous vapor barrier facing is required to prevent condensation.
Commercial & Industrial Facilities: Factories, warehouses, and workshops requiring durable thermal barriers combined with efficient installation.
Prefabricated Systems: Pre-cut or custom-sized boards tailored for modular construction and sandwich panel cores to minimize job-site waste.
Selection Guide
Define Thermal Requirements: Identify the target thermal resistance or U-value. Calculate required thickness using the declared thermal conductivity of the specific product grade.
Assess Moisture Exposure: Evaluate potential exposure to humidity, rain during construction, or internal HVAC condensation. Request EN 1609 or ASTM C1104 short/long-term water absorption test data if moisture risk is present.
Determine Mechanical Loads: Evaluate structural loads, fixing pressure, and compression. Select appropriate board density and compressive strength accordingly.
Verify Fire Regulations: Confirm mandatory building code classifications (e.g., Euroclass A1 or ASTM E84 Class A) prior to selecting the product grade.
Finalize Dimensional & Facing Specs: Confirm board dimensions, facing material (unfaced vs. foil-faced), and edge profiles to streamline installation.
Manufacturing & Quality Controls
Density & Thickness Monitoring: Automated inline sensors ensure consistent density across the board profile.
Hydrophobic Agent Distribution: Controlled chemical application guarantees uniform moisture repellency through the surface and core.
Dimensional Inspection: Edge squareness, length, and width are verified against ISO tolerances.
Batch Traceability: Every production lot is labeled with batch numbers linked to factory test reports.

FAQ
Q: Is water repellent rigid glass wool board completely waterproof?
A: No. The hydrophobic treatment reduces water absorption from incidental moisture or rain during construction. It is not a waterproofing membrane. Complete assemblies must incorporate appropriate weather barriers and flashings.
Q: How do I select the correct board density and thickness?
A: Thickness is calculated using the required U-value and product thermal conductivity. Density should be selected based on mechanical strength demands, direct compressive load, and fixing methods.
Q: What is the difference between standard glass wool and water-repellent glass wool?
A: Water-repellent glass wool contains specialized hydrophobic additives applied during manufacturing, significantly lowering water uptake under wet or humid conditions compared to standard untreated mineral wool.
Q: Can this board be used for below-ambient HVAC ductwork?
A: Yes, provided it is specified with a continuous, sealed vapor-barrier facing (such as reinforced aluminum foil) to prevent ambient moisture from condensing on the cold pipe/duct surface.
Q: What documentation is provided for B2B procurement and compliance?
A: We provide complete technical packages including Technical Data Sheets (TDS), MSDS, Factory Test Reports (Thermal, Water Absorption, Fire), Certificates of Origin, and ISO compliance documentation for project approval.
