Fires cost thousands of lives every year and billions of dollars. For businesses a major fire can lead to bankruptcy. If a historic building, unique data or family photos go up in smoke, even money cannot replace the loss. |

| more than 1000°C (1832°F). It can act as a fire barrier. Combustible insulation, on the other hand, can fuel the fire and cause it to spread. |

Fire resistance describes how well a building component can - for a stated period of time - hold back fire and prevent it from penetrating from one room to another. The basic criteria used to characterize the fire resistance of a product are: - Flame spread
- Smoke development
- Non-combustibility

Time is vital for fire fighters. It is essential that a building does not contain many combustible building materials, but has fire-resistant materials which can delay the spread of fire and provide many vital extra minutes to save people and property. Roxul mineral wool insulation acts as a fire barrier that resists temperatures above 1,000°C.

Every day emissions from fires have a serious impact on the environment. Not only are the combustion gases toxic at the site of the fire, but during a fire, very large quantities of particulates are also released into the environment. The particles consist, among others, of soot, tar, and unburned materials. |

Roxul mineral wool is made from basalt rock and slag, and this combination results in a non-combustible product. There are no added flame retardants in Roxul products. Combustible insulations often need to have chemicals added to make them less flammable. |
