Rockwool Factory started operations
and in the process became the first
company to manufacture Rockwool
insulation products in the GCC
region. Begun with an annual
capacity of 5000 metric tons, the
factory has since then expanded
operations and is today the largest
manufacturer of insulation products
in the GCC with supplies being sent
to, besides the GCC countries, the
Middle East, the Far East and the
other parts of the World. |

Rockwool
as the name implies is made by
melting diabase rock mixed with coke
and limestone and converting them
into fibers. The raw material
diabase (basalt rock) is a pure
volcanic material which is millions
of years old. Rockwool is classified
as an inorganic material and has an
excellent resistance to high
temperatures and possess superior
acoustic properties.
The factory Utilizes highly advanced
technology to melt raw diabase at
1400° C to make the flowing lava
spin at high speed using the latest
multi spun disc system to produce
hairline fibers which are bound
together by spraying with a heat
setting resin. The fibers are spread
in a conveyor using the pendulum
method to achieve an even
distribution of density throughout
the surface of the resulting
products. the special additive is
impregnated to the bonded material
to make it water resistant.
Fujairah Rockwool products are used
in both commercial and industrial
establishments as in the insulation
of power plants, destination plants,
petrochemical plants. refineries,
offshore drilling equipment, ships
and also in houses, offices,
buildings, schools, factories, etc.
New product applications are being
discovered each year with this
remarkably versatile product.
