Mineral fiber acoustical ceiling panels typically contain mineral fiber, produced from blast furnace and rock slags and coke, lightweight fillers like perlite, recycled paper, and binder(s) like starch and/or latex. Additional additives such as flocullants and formaldehyde based binders may be used. This Common Product describes mineral fiber acoustical ceiling panels that use a starch-based binder. A factory applied water-based acoustical latex coating was found to be common. Mineral wool ceiling panels can contain over 65% recycled content in the form of post industrial recycled blast furnace slag, used to manufacture mineral wool, post consumer recycled paper, and post industrial and/or consumer recycled ceiling tiles. Some products indicated that an antimicrobial treatment may also be applied to the ceiling tiles, but specific chemicals in these treatments were typically not disclosed.
