Overview

KM MW Mineral Wool is a medium-weight, stone-based mineral fibre insulation board for thermal reduction, acoustic control and fire protection in buildings. It is made with KM's exclusive RCS (Rapid Centrifugal Spinning) technology, which produces a very thin, even fibre structure bonded by thermosetting resins and water repellent. A Pendulum System then lays the fibres in thinner, more even air layers that block heat flow.

Made partly from recycled by-products of mineral extraction, it emits virtually no formaldehyde or VOCs. The semi-rigid boards are supplied for applications where a stiffer product is preferred, and form easily around the equipment being insulated.

  • Green-certified

Frequently asked questions

Is KM MW Mineral Wool a certified green building product?

Yes. KM MW Mineral Wool holds Singapore Green Building Product (SGBP) certification from SGBC: 64 kg/m³ and 120 kg/m³ are rated Excellent (3 ticks) and 80 kg/m³ is rated Very Good (2 ticks), for 50–100 mm thickness. The certificates (SGBP 3598/2, 3598/3 and 3598/4) are valid through 1 September 2028.

Is KM MW Mineral Wool non-combustible?

Yes. It is non-combustible when tested to BS 476 Part 4:1970. This is certified by TÜV SÜD PSB under Certificate of Conformity CLS2 080498 0019 for densities from 63 to 125 kg/m³, valid until 8 May 2027.

Which densities are available?

KM MW Mineral Wool is available in 64, 80, 100 and 120 kg/m³. All four have a thermal conductivity of 0.034 W/m·K at 20 °C. Other densities and thicknesses can be supplied to order.

What is the maximum service temperature?

Depending on density, the continuous safe operating temperature is 200 °C to 649 °C, and the intermittent temperature is 300 °C to 1,000 °C. Single or multiple layers can be installed at temperatures up to 649 °C.

How well does it absorb sound?

NRC values range from 0.90 to 1.10 depending on density and thickness, tested to ASTM C423. In a stud wall or between floors it adds 3 to 5 dB of sound insulation, and under roof constructions it reduces reverberant noise by up to 10 dB.

Does moisture affect its performance?

No. Moisture absorption is less than 0.01% by volume, and after four days at 50 °C and 95% relative humidity it absorbs less than 0.1% by volume. If the insulation becomes wet, full thermal efficiency is restored once it dries out.

What facings are available?

KM MW is supplied plain as standard, or laminated with FSK (foil scrim kraft) aluminium foil. Unfaced slabs can be finished on site with reinforced silver foil, metal lath or wire mesh.
