Mineral fibre finishing solutions

Mineral fibre, also known as rock wool, and fibreglass panels are used in the building industry as drop ceilings found in residential and commercial buildings. A sound insulation material with fire-resistant properties, as a suspended ceiling tile it forms a grid and requires suitable finishing techniques to prevent dispersal of fibrous particles into the environment.

What are the ideal finishing technologies used for rock wool or fibreglass panels?

Because these materials contain fibrous particles that are harmful if breathed in, and because they are found frequently in environments where people live, work or just gather, it is vital the edges are sealed to prevent material dispersal. The best technology to ensure perfect edge sealing is vacuum coating technology, whereas the panel surface can be coated with this type of machine or with spray coating equipment.

Why is mineral fibre so common within the construction industry?

The construction industry is probably the major sector in which mineral fibre and fibreglass panels are employed. The most common application is the suspended ceiling, where the tiles are assembled as a grid, reducing the liveable height of an environment and acting as sound insulation. The processes are straightforward, selected for their appropriateness, including:

Edges, simply flat or with a shaped profile, are perfectly sealed on vacuum coaters that ensure unrivalled transfer efficiency and operate at high speeds.

Preferred for the flat panel surface, spray coating is an efficient technique that ensures excellent productivity.

Vacuum-coated edges pass through a series of infrared lamps for drying. Once the surfaces are coated, the panels undergo drying using hot air ventilation ovens.

Here is a selection of mineral fibre finished specific products

APPLICATIONS

01

Suspended ceilings

Suspended ceilings can be both sealed and coated on our machines. Vacuum sealing technologies for edges; spray coaters for when the panel surface is visible.
02

Acoustic foam panels

Sealed at the edges using vacuum coating technology, these panels can also be painted using a spray coater, especially if they will be exposed and visible.
03

Thermal-acoustic insulation in wood-cement

Within our array of finishing technologies we have the correct equipment either to seal these elements, protecting them against environmental factors, or simply decorate them with coating equipment.

Focus On

Mineral Fibre

The key to coating mineral fibre products such as drop ceiling tiles is to select the most appropriate technology for each operation. Single-pass vacuum coating offers a number of benefits, from superb transfer efficiency, which optimises lacquer consumption, to processing speeds which easily reach 50 metres/min. 
A patented solution integrated into our Talent vacuum coater also ensures that the viscosity of the lacquer stays constant throughout a full production run. This leads to consistent edge quality of every panel. Even special edge profiles can be processed using vacuum coaters at the same high speeds.
