Basalt is an inert and naturally occurring material that is found worldwide. Basalt based materials are environment-friendly and not hazardous. Basalt continuous fibers are produced from basalt rock using single component raw material by drawing and winding fibers from the melt. Once the continuous basalt fibers have been produced, they are converted into a suitable form for particular application. Basalt continuous fibers can be processed to roving or to chopped basalt strand. Further basalt roving can be processed to roving fabrics or reinforcing net.
Processing of basalt fibers does not require special equipment or technologies - all known processing including pultrusion, filament winding, SMC/BMC as well as conversion into regular textile, non-woven, UD and multi-axial fabrics can be used. |
