5. Manufacturing Process Flow: How is Mineral Fiber Board Made?

1. Raw Material Selection
High-purity mineral wool, starch, perlite, and latex are carefully weighed. Foreign matter is screened out for homogeneity.

2. Mixing & Slurry Formation
Raw materials are mechanically blended; reinforced fibers are dispersed in a water-based binder under precise temperature.

3. Slurry Casting
The mixture is cast into sheets in steel or polymeric molds for uniform thickness, promoting tight fiber structure.

4. Vacuum Dewatering & Forming
Water is rapidly extracted. Boards are trimmed to size with CNC-controlled edges for high precision.

5. High-Temp Drying & Curing
Cured at 250–320 ℃ for mechanical strength & dimensional stability (per ISO 19901:2015).

6. Surface Finishing
Boards receive paint, embossing, or micro-perforation to boost visual and acoustic features.

7. Quality Control, Packaging, Logistics
Each batch is fire, humidity, and acoustically tested before packaged for shipment.

11. FAQ: Professional Terminologies & Common Questions

Q1: What raw materials are used for mineral fiber board?

A1: Mainly mineral wool (rock wool), starch, natural/cellulose fiber, perlite, and environment-friendly binders. The purity and consistency of mineral wool determines the acoustic and fire rating performance.

Q2: What certification does your mineral fiber ceiling tiles product have?

A2: Certified to ISO9001/14001, EN 13501 fire classification (A2-s1,d0), and RoHS. Each batch is also SGS or CTI tested and complies with ANSI installation standards.

Q3: What is "NRC" and why does it matter?

A3: NRC (Noise Reduction Coefficient) measures how much sound a surface absorbs. Higher NRC (like 0.60+) in mineral fiber board means superior noise absorption, ideal for offices, schools, and public spaces.

Q4: How should mineral fiber false ceiling tiles be installed?

A4: Install within a standard T-grid (suspended ceiling) system per ASTM C636 or EN 13964. Tiles are lightweight, can be cut with a knife, and allow for integrated lighting/HVAC.

Q5: What about moisture resistance and lifespan?

A5: Our mineral fibre suspended ceiling tiles withstand up to 99% RH and do not sag. Lifespan is 20+ years under recommended use, with easy replacement if soiled.

Q6: Are the products suitable for cleanroom environments?

A6: Yes. Our products meet ISO 14644 cleanliness, resist mold/fungus, and emit ultra-low VOC, making them safe for pharma, electronics, and food processing areas.

Q7: What are your packaging and delivery solutions?
