Rocks are graded and crushed, mixed with coke and slags, then melted in a furnace at a temperature of 1500 °C.
The melt is directed onto rotating wheels where it is spun into wool. Small quantities of resin binder are added to lock the fibres together. The wool is formed into a mat which is cured and compressed in an oven. Then it is cut and possibly covered with facing materials.
