Composition / Information on Ingredients
Chemical components, concentration ranges, and hazardous substance identification
Rockwool stone wool contains mostly stone wool fibres which are of type synthetic inorganic glass similar silicate fibres. The stone wool fibres meet the claims in Note Q according to the European Classification Regulation No 1272/2008 about classification, labeling and packaging (CLP). To keep the stone wool fibres together a binder is added which by the curing process is transformed into heat-stable plastic (bakelite). A small quantity of oil is added to make the products water repellent and to reduce dusting. Some products have one or two surface layers of for example paper, alu-foil or glass fibres.
| Chemical Name | CAS Number | Concentration | Hazardous |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mineral wool | --- | 95 - 98% | No |
| Bakelite (binder) | --- | 1.5 - 4.5% | No |
| Oil (dust binding) | --- | 0.5% | No |
The stone wool fibres meet the claims in Note Q according to the European Classification Regulation No 1272/2008 about classification, labeling and packaging (CLP).

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Unpack material at application site and cut with a special knife on a clean, solid and plane surface. Waste is placed directly in collection bags. When cleaning up, avoid dry sweeping, large pieces are placed directly in refuse sacks, residue is sucked up by vacuum cleaner.
The products are stored in original packagings until they are used. They are protected against moisture and mechanical damages.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
ventilate the relevant area well during first heating period
Wear dust repelling protective gloves
Wear eye protectors when working above eye level. Lens carriers should always wear eye protectors.
Respiratory protection (dust filter P2) should be used if the limit might be exceeded despite of technical measures and if problems with respiratory organs appear, for example when handling old mineral wool in narrow spaces. During first heating above 150 – 200 °C... only to access it with full face masks with fresh air supply.
At very dustable work suitable protective clothing, closing tightly around sensitive skin areas such as neck and forearms, should be used. Wear dust repelling protective clothing, without pockets or lapels.
