Rockwool Insulation in Kenya

At Bioflex Insulation Ltd, we supply premium Rockwool insulation in Kenya and East Africa, designed to solve real problems—energy loss, noise, and fire risk.
Rockwool, also known as mineral wool, is manufactured from natural volcanic rock melted at high temperatures and spun into durable fibers. The result is a dense, non-combustible, and long-lasting insulation material perfect for thermal, acoustic, and fire protection applications.

Whether in industrial furnaces, HVAC ducts, or building walls, Rockwool performs where other materials fail — protecting assets, conserving energy, and enhancing comfort.

Key Technical Properties

• Temperature Range: -200°C to +750°C

• Thermal Conductivity: 0.034 – 0.040 W/m·K

• Density: 100kg/m³

• Fire Rating: A1 (non-combustible)

• Sound Absorption Coefficient: NRC up to 1.05

• Water Absorption: <1% by volume

• Available Forms: Boards, blankets (rolls), and pre-formed pipe sections

• Facing Options: Plain, foil-faced (aluminium), or wire mesh reinforced

Performance Benefits

1. Excellent Thermal Insulation

Rockwool retains heat where it’s needed and prevents energy loss in high-temperature systems.
It’s ideal for boilers, furnaces, tanks, and pipelines, offering stable insulation performance even under vibration and compression.

2. Fire Resistance

Rockwool is naturally non-combustible, capable of withstanding temperatures above 1000°C without melting or releasing toxic fumes — making it an essential material for fire-rated walls, ceilings, and industrial safety barriers.

3. Acoustic Insulation

Its dense fiber structure effectively reduces noise in factories, commercial buildings, and mechanical rooms.
Ideal for soundproofing walls, ceilings, and equipment housings where noise reduction and heat management are equally important.

4. Water & Moisture Repellence

Unlike traditional fiberglass, Rockwool retains its insulation value even when exposed to moisture, maintaining consistent performance over time.

5. Durability and Longevity

Rockwool insulation doesn’t sag, crumble, or lose thickness — delivering decades of stable performance with minimal maintenance.
