Abstract

This paper uses numerical analysis and experimental results to show how density-layered stone wool production can help us save carbon emissions while maintaining the same product quality. This new product can save up to 44% of raw materials, energy, and carbon emissions spent. Making it more common will drop stone wool prices and make energy consumption even smaller. Even though there are many applications for using stone wool, the main product scope is heat insulation for construction. Density layered stone wool will make a game-changer effect.
