Isover - Mineral Wool Insulation Materials

Isover is a member of the worldwide Saint-Gobain Group and a market leader in the use of mineral wool for fire protection, thermal insulation and soundproofing. Today, 270 Isover engineers and technicians, all specialists in fire, thermal, acoustic and mechanical engineering, are trying to develop the insulating systems of the future, working on improved processes, more effective products and better pollution abatement systems.

MINERAL WOOL INSULATION

In Europe, one house in three is insulated with Isover's mineral wool products; in the USA it is one in five under the CertainTeed brand. In more than 50 countries, Isover is synonymous with quality and experience, backed by exemplary services. Isover's corporate mission is to create efficient insulation solutions to provide safe comfort for users and to help protect the environment.

ULTIMATE – LIGHTWEIGHT SHIP INSULATION

After more than ten years of research, Isover is now introducing ULTIMATE, an insulating material that is lighter and thinner, yet more effective than ever before. It marks a new era of insulating materials and is the first genuine innovation in this field for more than 50 years.

ULTIMATE is particularly well suited to the designers and owners of modern ships, because it means the weight of the vessel and the space required for insulating materials can be significantly reduced. The result is faster ships with higher load capacities and lower fuel consumption.

Advantages include:

• Light weight: savings are up to 50% compared with conventional insulating materials
• Excellent thermal and acoustic insulating properties: offers the same insulating effect with lower insulation thickness and/or weight reduction
• Outstanding fire protection: the result of ULTIMATE's heat resistance and low thermal conductivity
• High strength: ULTIMATE is exceptionally flexible, returns to its original shape and is highly resistant to cramping and crushing
• High compressibility: when packed, ULTIMATE occupies only 70% of its installed volume
• Straightforward handling: light, good elasticity, easy to cut and install
• Environmental compatibility: over 90% of Isover insulating materials consist of natural raw materials
