Composite mineral wool structural panels: Saint GobainRecent Research Landscape

Structural failure and fire spread in building enclosures drive massive liability and insurance costs. These innovations engineer specific mineral-based laminate sequences to provide predictable thermal and mechanical resistance.

What technical problems is Saint Gobain addressing in Composite mineral wool structural panels?

Structural instability in composite assemblies

(3)evidences

Mineral wool and silicate layers often delaminate or lose structural stability during intense thermal stress. Preventing mechanical collapse of composite building elements under heat ensures life safety and building protection.

Thermal breach at structural penetrations

(2)evidences

Discontinuities at structural junctions and fixing points create pathways for heat and fire. Eliminating these gaps prevents localized insulation failure and structural compromise during thermal stress.
