U SeaProtect Minimize weight
ULTIMATE results from more than 25 years of intense research by ISOVER. ULTIMATE is produced thanks to an unique and patented fiberizing process. It results in a totally shot-free product, made of long fine interwoven fibres: a new generation of high-performance mineral wool with excellent fire protection properties and a drastically reduced weight (up to 50% lighter) when compared to traditional stonewool solutions.
