? Key Takeaways
? Both magnesium-rock wool panels and rock wool panels achieve Class A non-combustible fire rating — the difference lies in moisture resistance, weight, and machinability.
? Moisture resistance: magnesium-rock wool panels offer better moisture resistance with the magnesium layer providing protection; rock wool panels require hydrophobic treatment (≥98%).
⚖️ Weight and machinability: magnesium-rock wool panels are lighter and easier to cut and process; rock wool panels are heavier and more difficult.
? Cost: magnesium-rock wool panels have a higher initial cost but lower lifecycle cost in high-humidity environments; rock wool panels are cheaper for general cleanrooms.
? Scenario-based selection matters more than price comparison: magnesium-rock wool for high-humidity cleanrooms and pharmaceutical; rock wool for general cleanrooms and fire-rated enclosures.
? SAMZOON provides both magnesium-rock wool and rock wool sandwich panels, with selection guidance based on application requirements for South China projects.
