The TekhnoNikol company has offered a novelty - a Tekhnovent Standard heater, whose technical specifications have pleased buyers. It is a slab made of stone wool. They can be used to prevent heat loss and to protect against the penetration of extraneous noise (sound insulation).
Plate Features
"Technovent Standard" are hydrophobized mineral wool slabs . They are made on the basis of rocks included in the basalt group. This provides their basic technical characteristics.
Technovent Standard is manufactured using modern production lines. They allow you to fasten basalt mineral fibers with an organic binder. At the same time they are fastened in a way that allows you to save the maximum possible amount of heat. The service life is increased through the use of hydrophobic impregnation, which protects the plates from dividing into layers, and damage with increasing humidity.
The material is made in the form of plates, not rolls. This greatly simplifies installation. The length of the plates can be 100 or 120 cm. The width is 50 or 60 cm, respectively. The thickness is in the range from 3 to 20 cm. It varies with an interval of 1 cm.
The material is fireproof. The fibers will lose their strength and will be unable to perform their direct functions only if the temperature rises above 1000 degrees. The melting point of the binder is 250 degrees. In addition, the material has a higher density than heat insulators in rolls. Therefore, it is able to protect the building from heat loss. Thanks to this, the indoor temperature will be higher.
Due to its high technical characteristics, Technovent Standard does not deform during operation. The material does not deteriorate under the influence of atmospheric factors (temperature changes), also due to contact with concrete and steel structures. Therefore, cracks and gaps do not appear between the plates.
Appointment
Technical characteristics of Technovent Standard allow it to be used in a wide temperature range (from minus 60 to plus 200 degrees). Thanks to this, the material can be used in any regions, regardless of climate.
Manufacturers recommend using material for thermal insulation of buildings in civil and industrial construction. It is specially designed for facade systems that have an air gap. Due to the presence of air, the characteristics of the material are maintained at a high level.
Material is used to warm the exterior of buildings with high heights. It can also be used as an internal sound and heat insulating layer under siding, metal panels. Apply material in the construction of frame houses. Thanks to soundproofing properties it is also used in the construction of partitions.
Specifications
Technovent Standard has the following indicators:
- Density 80kg / m 3 ;
- Thermal conductivity is not more than 0.034 W / (m. 0 C) at a temperature of 10 degrees and 0.037 W / (m. 0 C) at 25 degrees.
- Vapor permeability of at least 0.30 mg / (m.h. Pa);
- Water absorption of not more than 1.5% of the volume;
- Humidity not more than 0.5% by weight.
As you can see, the characteristics are more than worthy. Not surprisingly, many builders recommend it for use. Let us give an example that clearly demonstrates the high technical characteristics of Technovent Standard: a 50 mm layer of insulation has the same heat loss resistance as brickwork with a thickness of 90 cm. At the same time, the insulation does not carry additional load on the foundation.
Material advantages
Technovent Standard has the following advantages:
- Prevents heat loss;
- Good sound absorber;
- Resistance to high temperatures;
- Does not absorb moisture;
- Holds shape and size;
- Not a habitat for rodents;
- Resistant to microorganisms;
- Ease of installation (it is easy to fit, well cut even with a knife).
All these characteristics will be fulfilled only under condition of correct installation and operating conditions. If the conditions are not met, it is not clear how long the heater can last.
The material was widely used precisely because of these advantages and its high technical characteristics.
Do I need a film?
"Technovent Standard" does not require the use of an additional film as a hydro and wind protection. This is another feature of this material, which stands out from its analogues.
As you can see, "Technovent Standard" is one of the modern materials with decent technical characteristics. It has several advantages that expand its scope. Due to its high heat and sound insulation properties, hydrophobicity, high compressive strength and incombustibility, the material is widely used in various fields of construction. He found a place in the construction of civil and industrial buildings, for insulation of walls, ventilation ducts, partitions between rooms.
