Its superior sound absorbency and fire protection contribute to the overall comfort and safety of occupants.  \nIt provides increased density that reduces sound transmission. Greater noise control is further achieved when AFB® is part of the wall assembly along with gypsum boards and resilient channels.  \nAFB® is noncombustible and will not develop toxic smoke or promote flame spread, even when directly exposed to fire. This helps to provide valuable extra time for people to reach safety and for fire services personnel to control the spread. It is a key component of fire-rated partitions.  \nAFB® comes in a number of thicknesses to meet the requirements of both retrofit and new construction applications.  \nLearn more at [rockwool.com/afb](rockwool.com/afb)  \nQuiet spaces  \nThe higher density of ROCKWOOL AFB® can reduce sound transmission, helping to create a quiet and comfortable space.  \nAFB®  \nAcoustical fire batt insulation  \nTechnical data sheet  \nBatt Insulation 07210 & 09820* • Blanket Insulation 07 21 16** Acoustical Blanket Insulation 09 81 16**  \nROCKWOOL AFB® is a stone wool batt insulation for interior partition walls and floor/ceiling installations in commercial constructions where superior fire resistance and acoustical performance are required.  \n\n|  | Performance | Test standard |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Compliance | Mineral fiber thermal insulation for buildings, Type 1 compliant\u003Cbr>Mineral fiber blanket thermal insulation, Type 1 compliant\u003Cbr>Mineral fiber blanket thermal insulation, Type 7 compliant\u003Cbr>MEA Approval, New York City approval | CAN/ULC S702 ASTM C665\u003Cbr>ASTM C553\u003Cbr>338-97-M |\n| Reaction to fire | Flame spread index = 0; Smoke developed index = 0\u003Cbr>Flame spread rating = 0; Smoke developed classification = 0\u003Cbr>Combustibility of materials at 750 °C-Noncombustible\u003Cbr>Determination of non-combustibility of building materials-Non-combustible\u003Cbr>Smoulder resistance-0.04 wt% | ASTM E84 (UL 723)1 CAN/ULC S102 ASTM E136\u003Cbr>CAN/ULC S114\u003Cbr>CAN/ULC S129 |\n| Nominal density | 2.5 lbs/ft3 (40 kg/m3)† | ASTM C167 |\n| Corrosion resistance | Corrosiveness to steel, copper and aluminum-Passed | ASTM C665 |\n| Air erosion | Maximum air velocity-1000 fpm (5.08 m/s) | UL 181 |\n| Thickness\u003Cbr>Dimensions | 1” through 4”(25.4 mm-101.6 mm) in 1/2” increments as well as 5”(127 mm) and 6”(152.4 mm), Wood studs: 15.25” x 47”(387 mm x 1194 mm), 23” x 47”(584 mm x 1194 mm)\u003Cbr>Steel studs: 16” x 48”(413 mm x 1219 mm), 24” x 48”(610 mm x 1219 mm) |  |\n| Acoustical performance | Thickness NRC SAA Sound absorption coefficients 125 Hz 250 Hz 500 Hz 1000 Hz 2000 Hz 4000 Hz 1.0” 0.65 0.65 0.05 0.22 0.63 0.84 0.90 0.94 2.0” 0.95 0.96 0.22 0.69 1.09 1.05 0.99 0.99 3.0” 1.10 1.11 0.42 0.90 1.22 1.12 1.08 1.07 4.0” 1.10 1.11 0.73 1.24 1.13 1.04 1.02 1.03 6.0” 1.15 1.14 1.11 1.28 1.15 1.06 1.03 1.01\u003Cbr>Contact ROCKWOOL for STC ratings on tested wall assemblies | ASTM C423\u003Cbr>ASTM E90 |\n| Fire-rated designs | ULC classification code: BZJZC\u003Cbr>UL classification code: BZJZ |  |\n\nFor more information regarding the certifications and listings of our stone wool insulation products, please visit:  \n[rockwool.com/certifications-and-listings](rockwool.com/certifications-and-listings)  \nUSA Specifications and Sizing Issued 07-2026 Supersedes 11-2025  \n1 Meets Class A requirements for flame spread and smoke-developed indices as per IBC.  \n† Density will change with thickness.
