Biosoluble
Fibers
To ensure that the glass or mineral wool used for insulation has
no health risk, it's chemical composition has been adapted to make
it biosoluble.
These compositions have resulted from the development of in-vitro
tests to measure the biosolubility of fibers in physiological liquids
that simulate those encountered in the pulmonary alveoli.
This research has produced less bio-persistent fibers, i.e. fibers
which are more quickly eliminated by macrophages, while retaining
their excellent thermal and acoustic insulation qualities and fire
protection.
