Dow Jones Description

Thermafiber, Inc., headquartered in Wabash, Indiana, is a manufacturer of mineral wool and has served the insulation industry since 1934. Mineral or "rock" wool is produced from blast furnace slag, a by-product of the steel industry, and other naturally occurring rock. These raw materials are melted in a cupola furnace at temperatures above 2600 F, spun into fiber, and either left loose (granulated) or formed into an insulating blanket or board. Thermafiber products are also considered "green" due to the fact that greater than 80% of the product is made from recycled blast furnace slag material. Since our mineral wool is made from slag and or rock, it has unique cost-performance attributes in high temperature, fire protection, thermal control and sound control applications. Thermafiber's products are sold to construction markets, power and process markets, and a wide variety of industrial and OEM markets. Commercial Construction: Thermafiber is proud to play an important role in fire protection and life-safety in the commercial construction industry through the ability of mineral wool to resist fire and temperatures in excess of 2000 F. Many well-known multi-story buildings around the world, as well as common office buildings, hospitals, and stores are insulated and protected with Thermafiber products. Applications include interior and exterior walls, fireproofing of structural elements and firestopping around pipes, ducts and cables running through floors and walls. ...
