Criton Wool

Product Overview

Criton Wool is a premium, flexible insulation mat engineered from bio-soluble fibres, offering superior fire protection, high-temperature thermal insulation, and effective acoustic control. Designed for demanding environments, it is non-combustible, binder-free, and highly resistant to vibration, making it the ideal choice for marine, offshore, and industrial applications where safety and performance are critical.

Key Features & Benefits

Exceptional Fire Resistance & High-Temperature Performance

With a melting point exceeding +1250°C and a continuous service temperature of up to 600°C, Criton Wool provides outstanding passive fire protection. Its non-combustible nature makes it essential for containing fires and protecting structural integrity in high-risk environments.

Superior Acoustic Absorption

The dense, needled fibre structure effectively dampens sound and reduces noise transmission. It is specifically engineered to meet stringent acoustic requirements in settings like engine rooms, equipment enclosures, and marine bulkheads.

Bio-Soluble & Safe Handling

Made from bio-soluble fibres (with low bio-persistence), Criton Wool is safer to handle and install than traditional ceramic fibres. It is free from binders and irritants, reducing health concerns during and after installation.

Excellent Thermal Insulation

With a thermal conductivity as low as 0.06 W/m·K, it provides efficient thermal insulation for pipes, equipment, and structures, helping to conserve energy and protect personnel from extreme heat.

Flexibility & Durability

The material is highly flexible, allowing for easy installation around complex shapes and contours. Its excellent tensile strength and vibration resistance ensure long-term performance without sagging or degrading.

Hydrophobic & Chemically Stable

Criton Wool is inherently moisture-resistant and maintains its insulating properties even in humid conditions. It is also resistant to most chemicals, ensuring durability in harsh environments.
