Stone wool insulation is highly effective in industrial applications due to its ability to withstand extreme temperatures and provide robust fire resistance. It is widely used for insulating large surface areas such as tanks, boilers, and pipes in power plants, refineries, and chemical processing facilities. The stone wool wire mesh blanket is particularly beneficial for these applications, as it allows for efficient installation over expansive or irregular surfaces, ensuring continuous thermal protection. This type of insulation not only enhances energy efficiency but also improves workplace safety by reducing heat exposure and the risk of fire.
