Roxul AFB (Acoustical Fire Batt)

Roxul AFB® is a lightweight, semi-rigid batt insulation designed specifically for interior wall and floor applications. This stone fiber based* insulation is made from natural stone and recycled content. It's a green product that provides superior sound absorbency and fire protection for overall occupant comfort and safety. That's why AFB® is quickly becoming the insulation of choice for today's green builders in commercial and industrial construction.

Fire Resistant AFB® is non-combustible, resisting fire and delaying fire spread for added margins of safety.

Drywall Vaughan - FireRoxul AFB's combination of stone fiber and recycled content makes this insulation fire resistant. This non- combustible product does not develop smoke or promote flame spread when exposed to flame, making AFB® a critical line of defense in fire protection. In fact, studies have proven that stone or mineral fiber insulations provide a 54% increase in overall fire resistance rating compared to non-insulated assemblies.

Water & Moisture Resistant

Drywall Cambridge - WaterThis stone fiber structure repels water and aids in draining, which protects interior walls and studs.Roxul AFB® will not absorb water or hold moisture. In fact, its stone fiber composition is ideal for repelling and draining water away from walls and studs, protecting them. AFB's fire resistance and sound control properties are never compromised by water or moisture. Ideally, AFB® will not corrode and it does not promote fungi or bacteria growth.

Semi-rigid, sag-free material

AFB's higher density keeps the product in place, which is critical for optimum fire protection and sound control.

Sag-free, Tight Fits

The higher density of AFB® provides superior sag resistance and fit. Once installed, AFB® holds its shape without sagging or slumping in the wall cavity over time to consistently provide continuous fire protection and sound control.

SOUND CONTROL

Room to room or floor to floor, when Roxul AFB® is specified for interior wall or floor assemblies, better overall sound control and fire protection are achieved. Compared to other types of insulation, the stone fiber content of AFB provides increased density that effectively reduces airflow and essentially, sound transmissions. Greater noise or sound control is further achieved when thicker AFB® and gypsum board are used together. AFB® thickness ranges from 1.5" (38 mm) to 3.5" (76 mm).

Testing demonstrates that Roxul AFB's inherently higher density and manufacturing process delivers dramatically better airflow resistivity compared to glass fiber. Higher air flow resistivity means better sound attenuation.

In commercial applications, much of the sound or noise to be controlled is produced in low frequency or bass ranges. This noise includes conversation, projection/ video equipment, and ventilation systems. In the lower 1/3 octave bands, tests have shown that Roxul AFB® outperformed fiberglass insulation, providing more low frequency absorption when comparing acoustical testing at low frequencies.
