Re: Rock wool or fiberglass (for absorbing panels) ?

Both rock wool and fiberglass insulation can cause cancer, but what don't. Rock wool is better than fiberglass for absorbing sound. Very itchy stuff though, I recommend you wear a long sleeve shirt and a dust mask.

>"I'm particularly alarmed by that "inhalation risk at 20*C", because I wanted to put some rockwool-boards near the heating installations. I would like to stress however that this boards will be thoroughly enveloped in polyester batting. Do you think that these "airborne particles" travel through poly-batting insulation ?"<

Polyester? Isn't that flammable? Are you by chance trying to wrap the heating/air conditioning duct work? Please explain what you are wanting to to....
