Mineral wool insulation can withstand the high temperatures of both hot bitumen application and heat welders making it ideal in some situations.

Bitumen roof insulation.

Mineral wool is also often used as a cover board in asphaltic roof systems because of its fire resistance and dimensional stability.

This combination offers the typical advantages of multilayer composites in which the properties of the individual components complement each other. Closed cell polyisocyanurate foam core.
