United Insulation Successfully Exports High-Performance Glass Wool to Nigeria, Deepening its Core African Market Footprint

2026-02-04

China, January 28, 2026 - United Insulation, the world-renowned exporter of thermal insulation building materials, has announced the successful delivery of more than 400 tons of high-end glass wool products to the Nigerian market. The delivered glass wool products are completely consistent with the specifications and standards of the mainstream imported building materials in Nigeria, with thermal conductivity as low as 0.034-0.042 W/(m·K), density of 12-64 kg/m³, thickness of 25-150 mm, and fire resistance of Class A1 (non-combustible or with extremely low flame propagation). These products are suitable for use in residential buildings, commercial buildings, hotels, and industrial plants in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, and other parts of Nigeria.

 

 

Nigeria is one of the important markets of United Insulation in Africa, and the company has been one of the top-ranked exporters of glass wool products to Nigeria for many years. The glass wool products exported by United Insulation are fully consistent with the following authentic import standards and specifications of Nigeria:

 

- SONCAP (Standards Organisation of Nigeria Conformity Assessment Programme) - this is the mandatory requirement of the Standards Organisation of Nigeria for all imported building materials to be certified by SONCAP before customs clearance.

 

- ASTM C612 - the standard of mineral fiber insulation board, which has been widely recognized in the Nigerian market for the thermal and fire performance requirements of glass wool products.

 

- ASTM E136 - the test of non-combustibility of materials, which ensures the glass wool products do not burn or support combustion at high temperatures.

 

In addition, the products are also accompanied by the batch test report issued by SGS or any other internationally recognized testing laboratory, ensuring that the products comply with the relevant provisions of the Nigerian National Building Code with regard to energy conservation and fire protection.

 

One-stop service designed for Nigeria:

United Insulation offers comprehensive localization services for our Nigerian clients:

 

- OEM/ODM private label manufacturing (supporting clients' own English brands)

Authentic compliance, energy efficiency, and fire resistance are the three values that our Nigerian clients value most.

 

"Nigeria has very stringent requirements for SONCAP certification on the authenticity of materials, energy efficiency, and fire resistance ratings, especially for high-rise buildings and industrial sites in Lagos. We ensure that every batch of glass wool passes customs clearance from the SONCAP customs office. This helps our clients obtain customs approval in Nigeria, building permits, and energy audits—helping our clients save energy and prevent fires," said the Africa Regional Director of United Insulation.

 

All the glass wool shipped to Nigeria has the following globally recognized certifications:

 

- CE Marking (EN 13162)

- UL 723 & GREENGUARD Gold

- FM Approvals

- ISO 9001/14001/45001

- ASTM C612 & E136 compliant

 

It has good fire resistance with the use of a high percentage of recycled glass fibers. Stability towards settling, moisture, and mildew has been validated through accelerated aging tests at high temperature and humidity, giving it a service life of more than 50 years. This product would be particularly suitable for the tropical environment of Nigeria.
