Is Glass Wool An Environmentally Friendly Material

Glass wool is mainly composed of inorganic and chemically stable glass fibers, which do not burn and do not volatilize toxic substances. Therefore,is it environmentally friendly depends on the curing agent used, but whether it is ordinary glass wool using phenolic resin or acrylic resin as curing agent or environmentally friendly glass wool using biomass curing agent, its formaldehyde emission meets the national standards for environmentally friendly building materials. Therefore,only the qualified glass wool can be ready for delivery. However, if the glass wool cured with phenolic resin and acrylic resin curing agent is not fully dried during the heating curing process, harmful components such as free formaldehyde, benzene derivatives, and acrylic acid will evaporate during use, which is not environmentally friendly.
