Basalt Fiber Series

Basalt Fiber is a material made from extremely fine fibers of Basalt Fibers, which is composed of the minerals plagioclase, pyroxene, and olivine. It is similar to fiberglass, having better physicomechanical properties than fiberglass, but being significantly cheaper than carbon fiber. It is used as a fireproof textile in the aerospace and automotive industries and can also be used as a composite to produce products such as camera tripods.

 

The performance of Basalt Fibers is far superior to that of glass fibers. For example, a basalt fabric subjected to a Bunsen burner flame will turn red and can withstand several hours, while a fiberglass fabric of the same density can withstand several seconds. Basalt products are resistant to flames, continuous temperatures up to 700 °C, chemicals (acids and alkalis), are very good acoustic and electrical insulators, and have good mechanical properties.

 

Since basalt is still effective at temperatures as low as -260 °C, it can be used in high and low temperature applications. Basalt fiber products are particularly popular in the automotive sector, as building materials in the form of non-woven needle felts, or as insulating materials for exhaust pipes, for example in the form of sheaths, strips or fabrics. In addition, basalt fibre is the most environmentally friendly high temperature resistant material in terms of manufacturing and recycling.

 

Benefits of Basalt Fiber Products

1. High Strength and Durability: Basalt fiber products are known for their exceptional strength and durability, making them ideal for use in high-stress applications.

2. Heat Resistance: Basalt fibers are highly resistant to heat, making them suitable for use in high-temperature environments.

3. Corrosion Resistance: Basalt fibre is also highly resistant to corrosion, making them ideal for use in harsh environments, such as marine and industrial settings.

4. Environmentally Friendly: Basalt fiber composite is made from a renewable resource and are fully recyclable, making them an environmentally friendly option.

 

Manufacturing of Basalt Fibers

Basalt Fiber is pultruded from volcanic rock and melted in a blast furnace. In contrast to extrusion, the fiber is stretched. This process can produce a continuous fiber reinforced with polymers.

 

Application of Basalt Fiber Products

1. Aerospace and Defense: Basalt fiber products are used for lightweight, high-performance composite structures. These structures are used in aircraft, missiles, and spacecraft.

2. Automotive Industry: Basalt fiber products are used for manufacturing lightweight and strong components, such as body panels, suspension systems, and engine parts.

3. Construction Industry: Basalt reinforcing mesh and basalt fiber rebar is used in the construction industry for reinforcing concrete structures, as well as for manufacturing high-strength composite materials for bridges, tunnels, and other infrastructure projects.
