Abstract The chemical structure of mineral wool fiber was investigated by using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Next, the glass transition temperature and the crystallization temperature of the fibers were studied. Finally, the crystallization kinetics of fiber was studied. The results show that the chemical bond structure of fibers gets more random with the increase of acidity coefficient. The crystallization phases of the fibers are mainly melilites, and also a few anorthites and diopsides. The growth mechanism of the crystals is three dimensional. The fibers with acidity coefficient of 1.2 exhibit the best thermal stability and is hard to crystallize as it has the maximum aviation energy of crystallization kinetics.
