// Rockwool doesn't sound like an oil-based material //

Might it contain Lanolin?

See my post at 18.09.

Naomi; are you sure you were looking at the right rockwool? A link would have been appreciated.

[Spicerack]

No, I put an extension on a rockwool factory and to my surprise they actually made it out of rocks.
That's why I craftily said 'there can't be many that aren't'.
But well done Atheist for naming one that isn't. ✓
Can anyone else in the class name another one?

[Spicerack]

Probably not very green. They put the rocks in a blast furnace, lol.

[Atheist]

Zebu; I thought that lanolin came from sheep's wool.
Spicerack; yes, most insulation (and any manufactured product) must have energy input from somewhere in its manufacture. Doesn't necesarily have to be from fossil fuels, though.
Maybe we're wandering off the point a bit.

Are VW going to be done on emissions standards then??

[naomi24]

I can’t post a link. I googled ‘is oil used in the manufacture of rockwool’ and got the information from rockwool.com

[Atheist]

Thanks, Naomi.

[ZebuSanctuary]

>18.10 The results of your research much appreciated. Thank you.

[Atheist]

Naomi; it's good to see you taking an interest in these things.

[naomi24]

Pardon? What’s that all about?

[DTCwordfan]

rockwool is better than, say, fibreglass, when it comes to insulation.....from an environmental perspective, that is. I could add that they were all 'stoned' when they came up with the idea, but I won't.

[Spicerack]

I see, we are wandering off the point, are we. Now you can see what a supercilious fool you've made of yourself.
There were big Volvo trucks full of coal racing around my rockwool factory. Can't say I noticed any windmills.

[Atheist]

Spicerack; thanks for pointing out that I'm a fool - some others might not have noticed, so it's good to know that we have at least one fool-inspector on the alert. And it's good for me to be brought to account from time to time.

[DTCwordfan]

don't worry, Atheist, we can all be fuzzy from time to time....especially at our time of life.
