Micronair Engineering has developed a deep involvement in the manufacturing of glass fibre and mineral wool. Not only can these products benefit the environment by their applications in air filtration, insulation and sound attenuation, but they are even more beneficial in that they can utilise recycled materials such as broken glass which can readily be converted into glass fibre ... The finished products are used in home and industrial insulation, for sound attenuation (in car and other vehicle exhausts), and in the air filtration and air conditioning industries. 4, record 4, English, - glass%20fibre
