Rock wool and slag wool pertain to the same kind of thermal insulation material, which can be produced in quantity and widely used, by comparison with other inorganic fiber thermal insulation materials, thus it is one of the most important thermal insulation material for the national economic development in our country. After the implementation of Civil Construction Energy Efficiency Management Regulation, it puts forward higher requirements for the energy saving standard of new buildings, thus the application prospect of rock-mineral wool thermal insulation material is promising. This paper mainly presents the source of rock-mineral wool, its main relative merits as well as its application in the construction field, moreover, the application and development potential of rock-mineral wool as the thermal insulation material for building wall construction.
