BASALT FABRIC
CHARACTERISTICS
Basalt fabric offers several unique benefits:
- High strength: the outstanding tensile and compressive strength of basalt fabric enables it to endure mechanical stress.
- Temperature resistance: basalt fabric is capable of withstanding high temperatures ranging from 600 to 1000 °C.
- Chemical Resistance: not susceptible to corrosion or deterioration by chemicals.
- Low thermal conductivity: it effectively insulates heat, making it suitable for use in thermal insulation materials.
- Eco-friendly: made from natural materials, it contains no harmful substances and is recyclable.
Basalt fabric is a cutting-edge material made from basalt fiber, which is derived from natural basalt.
Basalt rock is melted at high temperatures (around 1,400–1,600°C) and then extruded to form continuous fibers. These fibers are then woven or knitted into fabrics.
Basalt fabric is widely used in construction, automotive, aerospace, electronics, shipbuilding and many other fields.
Basalt fabric is widely used in the following areas:
- Construction: Utilized as a reinforcement material to safeguard buildings against earthquakes.
- Automotive industry: Used to manufacture lightweight and robust composites for vehicle bodies and components.
- Shipbuilding: Used to manufacture lightweight and resilient materials for yachts and other marine vessels.
- Aerospace industry: Utilized in the manufacturing of components for aircraft and spacecraft.
- Repair work: Used in the repair of concrete and brick structures.
