Introduction to Glass Wool(Part 1)

 Centrifugal glass wool is a porous sound-absorbing material with good sound-absorbing performance. The reason why centrifugal glass wool can absorb sound is not because of the rough surface, but because it has a large number of tiny pores and pores connected inside and outside. When sound waves are incident on the centrifugal glass wool, the sound waves can enter the material along with the pores, causing the air molecules in the pores to vibrate. Due to the viscous resistance of air and the friction between air molecules and the pore wall, sound energy is converted into heat energy and is lost.

Sound absorption performance:

Centrifugal glass wool has good sound absorption performance for mid and high frequencies. The main factors affecting the sound absorption performance of centrifugal glass wool are thickness, density, and airflow resistance. Density is the weight of material per cubic meter. Airflow resistance is the ratio of air pressure and air velocity on both sides of the material per unit thickness. Airflow resistance is the most important factor affecting the sound absorption performance of centrifugal glass wool. If the flow resistance is too small, it means that the material is sparse, the air vibration is easy to pass through, and the sound absorption performance is reduced; the flow resistance is too large, it means that the material is dense, the air vibration is difficult to transmit, and the sound absorption performance is also reduced. For centrifugal glass wool, the sound absorption performance has the best flow resistance.

Glass Wool

In actual engineering, it is difficult to measure airflow resistance, but it can be roughly estimated and controlled by thickness and bulk density. 1. With the increase of thickness, the sound absorption coefficient of medium and low frequency increases significantly, but the high frequency changes little (high-frequency absorption is always large). 2. When the thickness remains unchanged, the bulk density increases, and the sound absorption coefficient of mid-low frequency also increases; but when the bulk density increases to a certain level, the material becomes dense, the flow resistance is greater than the optimal flow resistance, and the sound absorption coefficient decreases instead. For centrifugal glass wool with a bulk density of 16Kg/m3 with a thickness of more than 5cm, the low-frequency 125Hz is about 0.2, and the sound absorption coefficient of the medium and high frequency (>500Hz) is close to 1. When the thickness continues to increase from 5cm, the low-frequency sound absorption coefficient gradually increases. When the thickness is greater than 1m, the low-frequency 125Hz sound absorption coefficient will also be close to 1. When the thickness remains the same and the bulk density increases, the low-frequency sound absorption coefficient of centrifugal glass wool will continue to increase. When the bulk density is close to 110kg/m3, the sound absorption performance reaches the maximum, 50mm thick, and close to 0.6-0.7 at a frequency of 125Hz. When the bulk density exceeds 120kg/m3, the sound absorption performance decreases because the material becomes dense, and the mid- and high-frequency sound absorption performance is greatly affected. When the bulk density exceeds 300kg/m3, the sound absorption performance decreases a lot. The thickness of sound-absorbing glass wool commonly used in architectural acoustics is 2.5cm, 5cm, 10cm, and its bulk density is 16, 24, 32, 48, 80, 96, 112kg/m3. Usually use 5cm thick, 12-48kg/m3 centrifugal glass wool.

Introduction to Glass Wool(Part 2)

  The sound absorption performance of centrifugal   glass wool  is also closely related to the installation conditions. When there is an air layer behind the glass wool board, the sound absorption effect is similar to that of a glass wool board with the same thickness without an air layer. In particular, the sound absorption performance of medium and low frequency will be greatly improved than the material is attached to the hard bottom surface. The sound absorption coefficient will increase with the increase of the thickness of the air layer, but the effect will not be obvious after increasing to a certain value. Using glass wool of different bulk density is stacked together to form a form of gradually increasing bulk density, which can obtain a greater sound absorption effect. For example, stacking a 2.5cm thick 24kg/m3 cotton board with a 2.5cm thick 32kg/m3 cotton board will have better sound absorption than a 5cm thick 32kg/m3 cotton board. The 24kg/m3 glass wool boa...

Application Field of Extruded Board

The extruded board is a high-quality and cheap construction insulation material in the construction industry. It can not only be used as wall insulation but also has an excellent performance in other aspects. The following  extruded board manufacturers  will tell you what are the application areas of extruded boards? 1. The extruded board can be used as floor installation auxiliary material The floor mat used in the floor mats installed in the suspended floor is extruded board. Its paving is very convenient and can prevent the floor from being damp, deformed, and moth-eaten. The sound insulation and heat preservation effects are also very obvious, and you can feel a little softness when you step on the floor, which is very comfortable. Using this kind of extruded board mat to pave the floor can protect the ground from damage. It can be used when installing composite flooring, solid wood multilayer flooring, and solid wood paint-free and planer-free flooring. 2. Make a...

Demand For Glass Wool In The Market

Glass Wool  has good molding, low thermal conductivity, thermal insulation, and good attraction. It is widely used in building insulation. It is used for thermal insulation, sound absorption and noise reduction of industrial buildings, warehouses, public facilities, exhibition centers, shopping malls, and various indoor playgrounds, sports venues and other buildings. Glass Wool Glass wool insulation materials are also very helpful for building energy saving. With statistics, glass wool can achieve energy saving rate of 55%. Glass wool is based on the principles of vacuum insulation and microporous insulation. Using glass fiber as the core material, the thermal conductivity can reach 0.036W / (mK) or less. The thermal insulation performance is 6 to 10 times that of traditional thermal insulation materials. Products from raw materials collection to the entire production process are combined with environmental protection requirements, non-toxic and harmless; not only can ...
