Rockwool AFB (Acoustical Fire Batt) is a batt insulation made from stone wool. It is designed for wall and floor systems where acoustical performance and fire resistance matter most. The batts are lightweight, noncombustible and dimensionally stable.
The batts are made for friction fit into wall partitions and other system applications, from party walls to plant and manufacturing walls. They cut easily and come in several thicknesses for retrofit and new construction.
The product is chemically inert, so it does not promote corrosion. It has low moisture sorption, repels water, and does not rot or promote the growth of mildew, fungi or bacteria.
