Technical insulation, like building insulation, is at the heart of Saint-Gobain's Strategy and commitment to Carbon Neutrality by 2050. Isover's technical insulation solutions are found everywhere in our lives, from home to office, in mobility (such as cars, trains, boats, etc.) and in many industrial applications. Everywhere, insulation contributes to saving energy and reducing CO2 emissions, in addition to providing comfort and quality of life. This is the very purpose of insulation

The U SeaProtect range by Isover offers top-notch marine insulation for acoustic, thermal and fire protection for cruise ships, offshore, and OEM marine constructions. When compared to traditional stone wool insulation, the U SeaProtect range is lighter-weight and thinner without compromising functionality, offering industry-leading thermal and acoustic performance.  

With hundreds of projects all around the globe, ranging from passenger vessels and luxury yachts to military vessels and offshore oil rigs, the U SeaProtect range is proven to help fulfill the challenging requirements according to IMO rules and regulations, providing unique solutions and contributing to the new scope in sustainable design.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is stone wool?

Also known as mineral wool or rock wool, stone wool is created by spinning a molten stream of rock, steel furnace slag and recycled materials. Made principally from volcanic rock, it is comprised of 70% natural raw materials including basalt, dolomite and similar rocks, which are generally melted in a cupola furnace with a carbon-containing energy source using optimal energy and environmental protection recovery systems.

How do we make stone wool?

Stone wool, also referred to as rock wool, is created by spinning molten rock and minerals with steel slag to create a cotton-candy-like wool product. Click here to learn more.

What is stone wool insulation?

Effective insulation is essential in any kind of building and technical application to ensure maximum comfort and lower costs. Developed, used and improved by ISOVER for many years, stone wool insulation products combine mechanical resistance with excellent thermal performance, fire safety and high temperature suitability.

Why choose stone wool?

Stone wool can be used for insulation and fire protection in many applications. It is particularly suitable for industry given its high temperature resistance and non-combustibility. Click here to learn more.

Stone wool insulation or glass wool insulation?

The advantage of stone wool over glass wool is its resistance to high temperatures, making this type of insulation the safest in term of fire prevention.

But did you know that there a stone wool that combines this fire resistance with lightweight? Click here to learn more.

How is ULTIMATE U-Sea protect made?

The patented process for manufacturing ULTIMATE^TM is similar to that used for glass wool. However, the challenge for our development team was to develop a product capable of operating at much higher temperatures. This was achieved following a breakthrough involving a new patented glass composition and extensive conversion of the basic glass wool manufacturing process. Click here to learn more.
