What is the classification of pipeline insulation materials?

Our factory has high-pressure steam pipes that require insulation, and rock wool is used for this purpose. Are there any differences among different types of rock wool? What’s the code name? Thank you all
Rock wool is itchy when it gets on your skin; it is recommended to use aluminum silicate insulation tape, and I found it to be quite good
It depends on the temperature. Generally, traditional solutions use aluminum silicate; many companies these days use aerogels, which could serve as a reference. I can prepare a plan
The main consideration is cost; rock wool pipes can be used for steam lines, as aluminum silicate is expensive.
