It’s our honor to receive Australia clients visiting EcoIn rock wool factory, discussing OEM service. Australia government will not allow flammable insulation materials to be used in buildings that higher than 2 floors, the regulation was passed last week in Victoria, said client. They need to find non-flammable and high strengh insulation material to replace EPS, which is the old traditional insulation used in Australia. EPS is flammable, and it will release poisonus smoke when burning.
Rock wool doesn’t burn, to be simple, stone won’t burn. Safe, and with good thermal conductivity (as low as 0.037w/mk), also it has high strengh, can be used in external wall with mortar, easy install, with a long life gurantee as long as 20 years.

Why Buyers Visit Our Rock Wool Factory Before Placing Orders
Rock wool factory tours have become a critical step for international buyers — particularly from markets like Australia — who need to verify production quality, fire performance, and compliance standards firsthand. Our EcoIn insulation facility in China welcomes overseas clients throughout the year for factory audits and technical discussions.
The visit described above was prompted by a significant regulatory shift in Australia. After the Victorian government banned the use of EPS (expanded polystyrene) — a flammable insulation material — in multi-storey buildings, contractors and developers began urgently sourcing non-combustible alternatives. Mineral wool, also known as rock wool or stone wool, emerged as the top replacement due to its A1 fire classification, durability, and thermal efficiency.
5 Key Advantages of Rock Wool Discovered at Our Factory
During the rock wool factory visit, Australia buyers confirmed these 5 product strengths that make EcoIn rock wool the preferred choice over EPS:
- Non-combustible (A1 rated): Rock wool will not ignite or spread flame — meeting the strictest building fire codes globally.
- Superior thermal performance: Thermal conductivity as low as 0.037 W/(m·K) ensures effective insulation year-round.
- High compressive strength: Suitable for external wall systems with mortar application, unlike fragile foam boards.
- Long service life: Backed by a 20-year performance guarantee under normal installation conditions.
- Easy installation: Lightweight boards and batts are straightforward to cut, fit, and fix in any climate.
Rock Wool Factory Quality Controls at EcoIn
Every batch produced in our rock wool factory undergoes rigorous quality inspection including density testing, tensile strength assessment, and thermal conductivity measurement. Buyers attending factory visits typically inspect our raw material sourcing (basalt rock and slag), the cupola furnace melt process, and the final curing and cutting lines.
OEM and ODM orders are both accepted. Our rock wool factory is capable of producing densities from 40 to 200 kg/m³, with product thicknesses from 25 mm to 150 mm. Shipments to Australia, New Zealand, the UK, and Canada are handled with full compliance documentation.
