roxul curtainROCK® and safe® curtain wall system Superior Protection and Performance in a Curtain Wall System ✓ Fire Resistant ✓ Long-Term Stable R-Value ✓ Sound Absorbent ✓ Water Repellent ✓ Environmentally Sustainable SAFE® ROXUL SAFE® is a lightweight, semi-rigid stone wool insulation that provides superior fire resistance and sound control. SAFE is UL and Intertek approved as a forming material for numerous fire stop systems. SAFE is designed to fill perimeter gaps between concrete floor slabs and exterior wall systems, between firewalls and ceiling slabs, and around conduit pipes and...

Building Envelope Design using Roxul® Fire Resistance CURTAINROCK® is non-combustible and fire-resistant. CURTAINROCK does not develop smoke or promote flame spread when exposed to fire, providing a critical line of defense in fire protection. ROXUL stone wool products have an extremely high melting point of 2150 °F (1177 °C). When used in combination with ROXUL SAFE®, CURTAINROCK® 40 and CURTAINROCK® 80 provide a comprehensive fire-stopping system that has been UL/ULC tested and approved for perimeter fire containment systems. Temperature Development in a Standard Fire (ASTM E119) 2400–...

roxul curtainROCK® and safe® curtain wall system Thermal Resistance The R-value of ROXUL® insulation will not change over time because stone wool is not produced with blowing agents, which off-gas and result in lower thermal performance. Not only is the thermal performance of ROXUL insulation maintained over its lifetime, but the wall’s thermal performance remains consistent because ROXUL products are dimensionally stable. ROXUL insulation will not expand or contract due to temperature variances in the curtain wall system. These attributes result in optimal thermal performance of a building...

Building Envelope Design using Roxul® Minimizing Noise with Superior Sound Absorption CURTAINROCK® demonstrates superior sound attenuation characteristics. The unique multi-directional fiber structure and high density effectively traps and dissipates sound waves, reducing noise transmission into and out of the building. ROXUL SAFE® shares the same unique fiber structure and density, also allowing for greater sound attenuation. CURTAINROCK® Acoustical Performance ASTM C 423 CO-EFFICIENTS AT FREQUENCIES 125 CURTAINROCK® 40 – Acoustical Performance ASTM C 423 CO-EFFICIENTS AT FREQUENCIES 125...

roxul curtainROCK® and safe® curtain wall system Excellent Moisture Management Features ROXUL CURTAINROCK® and ROXUL SAFE® are inorganic and therefore do not rot, corrode or promote fungi, mold and bacterial growth. Both CURTAINROCK® and SAFE® are water repellent, yet vapor permeable (30-40 perms). These products resist the infiltration of water into the insulation layer and facilitate the drainage of water out of the system to enhance the drying potential of curtain wall assemblies. This unique vapor permeable quality of ROXUL curtain wall insulation allows for an increased potential for...

Building Envelope Design using Roxul® Facing Options To Meet Any Application Requirement ROXUL CURTAINROCK® products are available with or without reinforced foil facing (RFF). For example, CURTAINROCK® 80 RFF is often used in fire rated assemblies, for aesthetics behind glass, and as a vapor barrier. CURTAINROCK® 40 and CURTAINROCK® 80 are approved for use as a component in UL classified perimeter fire containment systems. Carnegie 57, also known as One57, is a 75-story skyscraper in New York City. Due for completion in 2013, it will be the fourth tallest building in the city. ROXUL...
