Soundproofing with Roxul AFB Acoustic Batts

Soundproofing in structures is necessary to reduce environmental and safety hazards.
Especially within industrial plants where heavy machinery is used day in and day out.

Soundproofing in structures is necessary to reduce environmental and safety hazards. Especially within industrial plants where heavy machinery is used day in and day out. This puts your clients at ease knowing that their building has the capability to safeguard them from complaints and health care expenses due to hearing damage or loss. Reducing and controlling noise emissions are possible with Roxul AFB insulation.

The Roxul AFB is a lightweight, semi­rigid batt insulation, made out of stone wool materials and inherently reduces airflow and sound transmissions due to its original non­directional, denser structure. Soundproofing is just one facet of Roxul AFB. It is an installation product from Bellis that is efficient, sturdy and eco­friendly. It is made out of natural stone and composed of 15% recycled material. Originally a product used in North America for several industries such as Oil & Gas, Power Generation and Petrochemical industries, this industrial and process insulation product features the following capabilities all in one:

  • Fire resistance ­ Roxul AFB and other Roxul line of products are made with Stone wool and recycled substances that make the structure non­combustible. For companies operating within temperatures up to 650°C. Roxul AFB can serve as your first line of defence in cases of fire.
  • Water Resistance – A common trend within the Roxul line of products is its inability to absorb water and contain moisture. It prevents and drains water from pipes and vessels without compromising R­Value. As you know, the higher the R­value, the higher its capacity to resist heat flow.
  • Environment­friendly – This insulation product is chemically inert for reducing indoor air quality pollutants. It is strong against mould, fungi and bacteria. It also lowers the carbon emissions as it is a CFC and HCFC free product and process.

Quality Insulation is one that should never be overlooked by contractors and engineers especially in large­scale constructions such as building and industrial plants. Insulation significantly decreases the energy necessary to produce a product or provide a service, as it helps lessen energy consumption. Installation and process maintenance expenses can be lessened and the effective lifespan of the project can be successfully maximised. Optimum insulation reduces process temperatures and provides soundproofing to an acceptable level of noise in the industrial environment.

Roxul AFB is distributed by Bellis Australia, an insulation solutions provider with over 35 years of experience specialising in the implementation of thermal and soundproofing or insulation systems. As known applicators of insulation, Bellis incorporates their expertise in order to support engineering in different facets of insulation.
