Rock wool insulation was a substitute for asbestos insulation. You bought one or the other, not both.
Does Red Top Insulation Wool contain Asbestus
Mineral wool is made from melted rock and did not contain asbestos. It was a less effective, but less costly, alternative to asbestos containing products.
It is possible that spun wool insulation manufactured in the 1940s could contain asbestos. Asbestos was commonly used in building materials during that time period, including some types of insulation. It is recommended to have the insulation tested for asbestos before conducting any renovations or other activities that could disturb the material.
No. Rockwool or mineral wool insulation is mineral fibers from volcanic rock heated and spun into a cotton candy texture and has never been reported to have been manufactured using asbestos.
Rock wool insulation is typically softer and more flexible than asbestos insulation. Asbestos insulation is denser, heavier, and may have a fibrous texture resembling human hair. It is recommended to have a professional conduct testing to properly identify asbestos-containing materials.
Rock wool is a product manufactured by melting rock and rock-like materials and forming it into thin fibers, roughly similar to the manufacturing of fibreglass. A product that is truly rock wool cannot contain asbestos because even if asbestos had been present in the raw materials, which was not the case, it would have been destroyed in the manufacturing process. However, the only way to know with certainty today whether something identified as 1950s era rock wool really is rock wool and not asbestos is to have a sample collected and analysed by qualified people and laboratories.
what dose it contain in it
No it does not! Your good there.
No. Rock wool is made from rock that has been melted and then forced through small holes to make long, fibrous strands. It does not contain any asbestos. Even if the rock used in the beginning did contain asbestos (and that kind of rock is not used for this) the asbestos fibers would be melted and destroyed in the manufacturing process.
Johns-Manville sold products containing asbestos until 1985. Products manufactured under the Manville brand name include Manville wallboard, roofing products, siding, cement board, asbestos paper, felt, cloth, gaskets, packing seals, cements, electrical products, pipe covering, block insulation, piping, and floor tiles.
