Abstract:
Recently, numerous fires have started in Finland around roof penetrations of
metal chimneys. One reason for the fires is the smouldering combustion of the binder of
rockwool used at the roof penetrations of metal chimneys. The charring of the binder
produces heat which can increase the temperature in the penetration to over 100 °C.
Tests which were performed on rockwool demonstrate the heat release.
