What is Oven Board? High Heat Resistant Insulation Material.
In industrial areas where high temperatures are involved, ensuring safe and efficient insulation is vital. Furnace insulation boards , particularly preferred in industrial ovens, boilers, and heating systems , are a heat-resistant, long-lasting insulation material providing A1 class fire resistance. Generally manufactured from rock wool, this product both prevents heat loss and ensures fire safety.
What is an Oven Board?
Oven board is a type of thermal insulation board produced by melting natural stones such as basalt at high temperatures and transforming them into fibers, and is generally made of high-density rock wool material . Thanks to its high-temperature resistant structure, it is particularly used in industrial ovens, boilers, chimneys, and hot surface insulation.
