The ULTIMATE Solution
Ultimate is currently a preferred insulation material on board ships and offshore installations, where there are several requirements for insulation and fire resistance. Using ULTIMATE provides major weight savings compared to rock wool – the weight is often just half of the equivalent insulation using traditional mineral wool – something which has a very positive impact on the energy use and environmental impact of vessels.
At the same time, the insulation material boasts excellent acoustic properties – ULTIMATE reduces and absorbs sound effectively. This is very important on board ships and offshore installations, where it is crucial to control noise from machinery and other noise sources in steel structures. ULTIMATE is quite simply the ultimate product for the marine sector.
