Charles Corydon Hall (July 3, 1860 – August 19, 1935) was an American businessman, chemist, engineer and industrialist. He developed a process of converting molten limestone into fibers that would become an insulation material. He initiated the rock wool insulation industry in America and is considered its progenitor. Rock wool was commonly used in refrigerator insulation.

| - Charles Corydon Hall (July 3, 1860 – August 19, 1935) was an American businessman, chemist, engineer and industrialist. He developed a process of converting molten limestone into fibers that would become an insulation material. He initiated the rock wool insulation industry in America and is considered its progenitor. Rock wool was commonly used in refrigerator insulation. Hall founded the Chemical Crystal Company and the Banner Rock Products Company, which manufactured different styles of mineral wool insulation. Prior to his innovations in the field, mineral wool was made of steel slag which deteriorated quickly, especially when moist. It did not make a good building material. His product avoided this problem and was used extensively in the commercial construction field worldwide. It was also fireproof, a desired feature especially in wooden buildings. One of their products resembled cord and all were vermin-proof. (en)
