AB - The hygrothermal properties related to rockwool insulation material structure  with different additives are presented using rockwool insulation products  obtained from row material of southern Serbia (Vranje region) in the wide  range of reference temperatures (10ºC to 70ºC). The hygrothermal properties  of basic sample (without additives) are compared to two samples with  different additives for two sets of rockwool insulation samples namely:  light-soft-panels (LSP) with density of 50 kg/m3, and middle-weight-panels  (MWP) with density of 80 kg/m3. It is shown that there is significant  (approximately 10%) improvement of thermal conductivity for additives based  on zeolite. Also, correlation of thermal conductivity and sorption properties  of selected samples are presented.
