Why basalt fiber?
Environmental friendliness
Continuous basalt fiber is made from environmentally friendly basalt of igneous origin and is absolutely non toxic
Durability
Continuous basalt fiber exceeds E glass in physical and mechanical characteristics such as tensile strenght, modulus of elasticity, impact resistance
Chemical resistance
Continuous basalt fiber exceeds E glass in corrosive resistance, alkali resistance and acid resistance and the service life is significantly higher
Heat resistance
Continuous basalt fiber exceeds glass fiber in all heat resistans properties by more than 20% in average
Low weight,
easy installation
easy installation
Products made of basalt fiber are 5–9 times lighter than metal products, they are easier to install on the spot, as this reduces the cost of labor and transportation costs
Low thermal conductivity
"Cold joints" are not typical for products from continuous basalt fiber,
also they have a coefficient of thermal expansion similar to concrete
also they have a coefficient of thermal expansion similar to concrete
Radio transparency
All products from continuous basalt fiber have full radio transparency, do not magnetize and do not accumulate radiation
Lack of electrical conductivity
Products made of continuous basalt fiber do not conduct electric current
