Production of Fibre Glasswool

Fibre glasswool insulation is produced primarily through a rotary process, similar to that used for making cotton candy. Initially, silica sand and other inorganic materials are melted. The molten glass is the transferred to the forehearth, a molten glass reservoir for glass temperature conditioning. Subsequently, molten glass is poured onto a rapidly spinning disc that has thousands of fine holes in its rim. Centrifugal force slings the molten glass through these holes, creating glass fibres. The fibres are further elongated (attenuated) wither by jets of air, steam or pressurized flame. Typically, the glass fibres are then spray-coated immediately with a chemical binder which holds the fibres together. In addition, the glass fibres are also sprayed with dedusting oil for dust controls. Finally, the glasswool product is cured in ovens and formed into rolls or slabs of various product thickness and densities.
