launches NyRock®
s pressure mounts on the construction industry to deliver more thermally efficient
buildings while preserving
standards of fire and acoustic performance, ROCKWOOL has launched NyRock technology, an evolution in stone wool composition that delivers the lowest lambda stone wool insulation available in the UK. Created using a new patented production
process, this next generation stone wool insulation has a more efficient fibre structure that can deliver thermal conductivity as low as 0.032 W/mK. Critically, this means that U-values can be met with comparatively thinner constructions, which in the case of external wall applications, creates the potential for additional interior floor space over a given building footprint.
Alongside its improved thermal efficiency, NyRock technology still delivers all the additional benefits of stone wool insulation including durability,
the ability to be recycled indefinitely, and acoustic and fire

ease of install, performance. Comprising naturally non-
combustible volcanic rock, ROCKWOOL solutions powered by NyRock technology achieve Euroclass A1 – the highest possible rating – and can withstand temperatures in excess of 1,000°C.
NyRock technology will be rolled out across a range of ROCKWOOL insulation solutions during 2022. Paul Barrett, head of product management
at ROCKWOOL UK said: “To limit the impact of climate change and support the delivery of net zero carbon in the UK by
2050, it’s the responsibility of manufacturers like ourselves to go further, re-inventing and improving on existing solutions. NyRock technology does just that.”
“While stone wool insulation is already known for its proven benefits such as longevity,
circularity,
and non-combustibility that is crucial for protecting people and properties, our patented technology builds on these advantages further.”
“Whether specifiers need a solution to the lower U-values of England’s new Approved Document L that also maximises floor space, or a non-combustible option for a high-rise property with enhanced thermal and acoustic performance, NyRock technology’s industry-leading lambda value for stone wool and ability to reduce the thickness of a construction element support those requirements.”

rockwool.com/uk/nyrock 05/09/2022 10:56 Rainscreen 032 and Frame Slab 032, the fi rst in a series of products
that use NyRock technology, a patented production process that delivers the lowest lambda stone wool insulation available in the UK. NyRock Rainscreen 032 is specifi cally developed for ventilated cladding systems and sealed structures such as curtain walling. It combines a low thermal conductivity of 0.032 W/mK and a non-combustible Euroclass A1 rating along with independently tested acoustic performance and the potential for thinner wall constructions. Manufactured using patented technology, NyRock Rainscreen 032 has a more effi cient fi bre structure than traditional stone wool products, resulting in improved thermal properties. As well as suited to ventilated facade systems, NyRock Frame Slab 032 can be used in a variety of external timber or steel frame applications, including with a brick outer and with or without a service void. All ROCKWOOL stone wool insulation comprising NyRock technology provides water resistance plus can be recycled indefi nitely.

ADF09_Rockwool_Insulation_DPR.indd 1 TPS360 provides a resin solution for Viridor recycling facility
TPS360 has provided a total project solution, including a class-leading resin fl oor, for a redeveloped recycling and waste management facility. Operated by Viridor, Cardiff Energy Recovery Facility (ERF) is the largest of its kind in Wales and treats waste from the local authority and local business contracts. The challenge on this particular project was to provide a hard-wearing fi nish for a demanding and potentially hazardous, live environment where 50 tonne front loaders and other heavy plant equipment are operated. The work also had to be scheduled in such a way that the facility could maintain 24-hour operation without any downtime. It was once again TPS360’s experience and excellent project portfolio which opened the door for them on this project. The company worked closely with the client from an early stage, installing test samples and carrying out trials to ensure the best resin specifi cation. Ucrete IF is a unique HD polyurethane resin fl oor which provides an extremely tough surface for environments subject to extreme impact and abrasion. It features a dense and impervious iron-armoured surface, which provides protection against severe abrasion.
