GreenGuard basalt insulation selected for Crystal Compass Award

The GEOlife technology used to manufacture the GreenGuard, “green” basalt insulation, is developed by TechnoNICOL especially for the production of environmentally friendly insulation.

Having obtained the patent last year, this unique product took part in the nomination “Best environmental project of industrial enterprises, and business”.

The GreenGuard line was developed to provide heat and sound insulation of low-rise structures. The technology used to manufacture these mats is characterized by ecological compatibility due to:

• natural basalt fiber;
• organic polymer matrix, which is life and health friendly.

The first “green” product under the brand GreenGuard was rolled out in 2015. In August 2016 TechnoNICOL obtained a patent for this insulation. The company launched flow production of the eco-insulation material thus reducing pollutants emission into the atmosphere and lowering detrimental impact on the environment.

The National Crystal Compass Award has been awarded to organizations, enterprises, institutions and individuals since 2012 for achievements in national geography, ecology, preservation and promotion of the natural and historical-cultural heritage of Russia. The award initiators are Krasnodar regional branch of the Russian Geographical Society and the corporate association Gazprom in the Kuban.
