Mineral wool Isoroc (Izorok) is a thermal insulation material used in the construction of the widest profile. This heat insulator is used to protect components of modern structures, including floors, walls, roofs, as well as ventilation shafts and pipeline elements. With Isoroc, important tasks such as insulation and sound insulation of structures under construction, as well as their fire protection, are solved.
Manufacturer Info Isoroc
The date of the appearance of the Russian brand Izorok is 2000, when a large association was created on the basis of the Tambov Mineral Insulation Plant. Further development of this production was supported by investments coming from a number of foreign companies.
Over time, mineral wool Izorok became a very popular product, demanded in most areas of construction technology.
To expand the production of mineral wool, the association required:
- significantly expand its production facilities;
- acquire modern equipment that allowed you to automate the workflow;
- to master new technologies of non-waste production of insulation products.
Thermal insulation Izorok is made on the basis of the finest fibers from a melt of mineral rocks, the individual components of which are held together by a special binder. The need to comply with all the subtleties of the technological chain stimulated the engineers of the concern to constantly improve this process. Today it belongs to the undisputed leaders of the Russian market of insulation materials.
All Isoroc mineral wool thermal insulation samples are manufactured in compliance with European standards. Since its production is organized in Russia, prices are attractive to domestic consumers.
Product line
The range of heat insulators for Izorok walls contains several subspecies focused on the features of protected surfaces and various fields of application. It includes the following items:
- Isolight-L;
- Izovent;
- Isofrol;
- Isoruf in packs;
- A plate in plates (in cylindrical forms).
Samples of Isolight-Lux products have a density of 60 kg / cu. meter and are used to isolate surfaces of various orientations. At the same time, large loads and deformation stresses in the layers of products of this type are unacceptable. The next model in the series, Isovent-L, has a significantly higher density (up to 90 kg / cubic meter) and is used in the arrangement of ventilation of building facades.
In the Isoflor modification, the density indicator declared by the manufacturer is close to 140 kg / cu. m. This insulation is used as an intermediate link in three-layer reinforced concrete structures. It is allowed to apply in a sandwich panels. For the insulation of roofs and concrete floors, another type of insulation material is used, called Izoruf. It is available with the markings N, B or NL, and its average density is 110 kg / cu. meter. The blanks of this material or mats without a piercing shell are marked as “MP”, and if it is present, “MP (ST)”.
Insulation Izorok in plates has two modifications with a material density of 75 and 100 kg / cu. per meter, respectively.They are optimally suited to protect any horizontal surfaces, but do not allow the load to be exceeded above the limit level. As a separate category of heat insulators, Izorok Cylinders with the marking of CF are considered. Various samples of these products differ in the diameter of the cylindrical blanks (within 18-273 mm) and are used for insulation of cold and hot water pipes.
Scopes of a heater
Insulating materials of the Izorok brand are characterized by the fact that they are used not only in construction, but also in other areas. In their classic form, they are used:
- for internal thermal insulation and insulation of floors (floors);
- in order to protect the attic rooms and roofs of buildings;
- for soundproofing rooms in apartment buildings.
When choosing products suitable for specific purposes, the density of the insulation material used must be taken into account.
Due to the ability to retain heat well, they are used to insulate various utilities, including centralized water supply and heating systems.
Main advantages
For the Isorok insulation line, which has a large number of varieties, the following indicators are characteristic:
- low level of thermal conductivity, which allows to reduce the cost of heating the facility;
- good sound insulation;
- high strength indicators;
- resistance of insulation boards to deformations and other mechanical influences;
- good water-repellent qualities;
- fire resistance and environmental friendliness of the product.
Another attractive side of this material is its resistance to aggressive environments.
Resistance to fungal formations is explained by the inorganic origin of the starting material, and fire resistance is explained by the presence of flame retardants in it.
Material Specifications
The insulation is available in the form of plates of various sizes or rolls, which differ in a number of operating parameters. The following technical characteristics of Isoroc insulation are especially important for the user:
- The density of the source material, reaching 150 kg / cubic meter.
- Resistance to compression to 55 kPa.
- Inverse or tensile strength within 15 kPa.
- Thermal conductivity, expressed as 0.075 W / (m K).
- Moisture absorption - not more than 5%.
The last characteristic refers to the ability of the fibers of a substance to absorb moisture - hygroscopicity.
Mounting Features
Features of the installation of plates and rolls of Izorok for surfaces of various classes are manifested in the requirement to adhere to certain rules. They depend on the conditions in which it is intended to use this material as a heat insulator. However, in any case, its use is permissible only in combination with steam and waterproofing.
Cement screed
Installation of insulation on the floor begins with preparatory operations, which include the following steps:
- The screed is cleaned of accumulated layers of dirt.
- All cracks found on the floor are closed, followed by leveling of its surface.
- A waterproofing layer is mounted, on top of which mats are covered.
When laying them, it will be necessary to ensure that the workpieces are located close to one another without noticeable gaps.
On top of the thermal insulation, another waterproofing layer is laid, on which then a reinforcing mesh is laid. The laid fittings are poured with a cement screed. When carrying out these works, it is important to consider that the total thickness of the coating increases markedly.
Warming of the outer walls of frame structures
Before purchasing Izorok boards, their total volume is calculated based on the fact that two layers of protective material are formed. Work on their installation is carried out in the following sequence:
- On the walls a crate is mounted based on wooden battens or a metal profile.
- During installation, the distance between the individual elements must coincide with the dimensions of the insulation boards.
- Laying is organized in such a way that the plates in the layers are staggered, the blanks of the second row completely overlap the joints of the previous one.
To fix the outer sheets on the walls, piece-type hardware of the fungal type, clogged at 5 points, is used. A waterproofing is mounted on top of the insulated surface, which provides reliable protection of the formed coating.
Insulation of flat roofs
To insulate the roofs, Izorok material with a high density index is selected, laid on the base of reinforced concrete slabs or a metal profile. Work order:
- A vapor barrier is installed to prevent moisture from entering between the layers of the heat insulator.
- The edges of the protective film are necessarily bent under the insulation, which does not allow the vapor to penetrate into it.
- In multi-layer installation, the joints of the plates are located with a slight displacement.
- For the upper layer, a material of higher density is selected than for the lower coating.
- On top of the insulation, waterproofing is arranged.
Isoroc insulation is a reliable and high-quality material used in various fields of production. Due to the ease of installation and accessibility, this type of heat insulator is constantly in demand among professionals and people involved in amateur construction.
