Specific Features of Application of the FAS Order No. 220 in Respect of Determination of Commodity Boundaries of the Merchandise Market (On the Example of the Mineral Wool Market)

Authors of this research analyze specific features of application of the Order of the Federal Anti-Monopoly Service (FAS) No. 220 in respect of determination of commodity boundaries of the market and creation of necessary conditions for competition in the mineral wool market. Preliminary determination of the commodities, which was carried out on the basis of analysis of the All-Russian classifiers of products and kinds of economic activity, has shown that in the course of determination of the merchandise market it is necessary to include glass wool, slag wool, and stone wool into one and the same commodity group. Due to the complexity of performance of the comprehensive and representative expert investigation, it is possible to utilize the data of the RF FAS research, which was carried already. Authors of this article describe specific features of determination of the merchandise market through the example of such commodities as ‘the glass wool goods’: this market was subject to analysis of the RF FAS in 2017. Selection of the investigation methods is to be made on the basis of the investigation periods and accessibility of information (among other factors).

Research on the Preparation of Slag Wool Fiberboard with Sodium Silicate

The volume weight, compression properties and water absorption character of slag wool fiberboard were studied with sodium silicate as binder. The results show that: the sodium silicate binder can increase the volume weight of the fiberboard, improve the compression properties and water insulation of fiberboard. At the same time, the microscopic morphology of the slag wool fiberboard were observed through SEM, it can be gotten that the fiber is wrapped by sodium silicate binder, and a layer of effective adhesive films is formed on the fiber surface which makes the slag fiberboard have the higher stability at a high temperature.

Research on Properties of Rock-Mineral Wool as Thermal Insulation Material for Construction

Rock wool and slag wool pertain to the same kind of thermal insulation material, which can be produced in quantity and widely used, by comparison with other inorganic fiber thermal insulation materials, thus it is one of the most important thermal insulation material for the national economic development in our country. After the implementation of Civil Construction Energy Efficiency Management Regulation, it puts forward higher requirements for the energy saving standard of new buildings, thus the application prospect of rock-mineral wool thermal insulation material is promising. This paper mainly presents the source of rock-mineral wool, its main relative merits as well as its application in the construction field, moreover, the application and development potential of rock-mineral wool as the thermal insulation material for building wall construction.
