BASALT FIBER PROPERTIES

Basalt fiber are naturally found in basalt rock, which is formed from cooling lava that has solidified. When these rocks are processed, they can produce fiber which can be used in different applications. The main reason why basalt fibers are used in many fields of industries is that it has a lot of properties that make them superior to other types of fibers such as glass or steel. The following are the most important properties of basalt fibers : MECHANICAL PROPERTIES Basalt fiber has superior mechanical properties. Basalt fiber has compressive and tensile  strength properties much higher than other fibers. Basalt fiber is a sustainable, rust-proof  alternative to steel reinforcement. It is only 25% of the weight of steel and has a Specific Tensile  Strength that is 2.5 times greater! Also, basalt fiber has 20 – 40% better mechanical properties  and puncture resistance compared with glass Fiber. THERMAL PROPERTIES Basalt fiber is a unique fiber material that has been...
