Advantages of Basalt Fiber
Non-corrosive
Non-corrosive advantage for basalt fiber, make it impervious to attacks from alkali, chemicals, or water. This advantage makes it resistant to attack by acids, salts, and other corrosive substances.
Sustainable
Sustainable advantage in that mean, that their life span can exceed 100 years in many cases, unlike steel fiber which does not exceed 35 years in some cases.
Recyclable
Basalt fiber has an advantage that can be recycled 100%, which means it can help reduce your carbon footprint. Basalt fiber can be recycled easily through air or water filtration and reused in other products, such as construction, manufacturing, and electronics applications, which is a good in many fields.
Low production cost
This an important advantage, basalt fibers are made from basalt stone, which is abundant on the earth and easy to be processed. Therefore, it has low production costs, which make it an advantage where many company looking for.
High tensile strength
Another for basalt fiber, that it is offers a unique combination of strength, toughness and affordable solution for any construction needs; its tensile strength is 2.5 times that of steel.
Moisture resistant
Basalt fiber concrete has moisture resistant and temperature extremes more effectively than steel, wood, or plastic reinforcements, so it can be used in many outdoor applications such as bridges, roads, boat decks and marine construction.

General Characteristics of Basalt Fibres
Mechanical and Physical Properties
Basalt fibre has better physical and mechanical properties than fibreglass or silica fibre.
Thermal Properties
Basalt fibre products withstand temperatures from -260 °C to 700 °C (Z-Rock® tapes by Newtex can withstand up to 1,095 °C) and have a thermal conductivity close to that of fibreglass 0.031 W.m-1.K-1) and silica (0.038 W.m-1.K-1). The vitrification temperature of the basalt is 1,050 °C for a melting temperature of 1,450 °C.
Environmental Resistance
Basalt fibres are highly resistant to UV rays, chemicals (acids and bases), weather constraints (especially moisture), are rot-proof and remain sterile.
Basalt Fiber Production Process
Melting Process
Melting is the first critical step in manufacturing basalt fiber. Basalt rock is heated to a temperature of approximately 1400°C in a furnace. The molten rock is then drawn through small nozzles to form continuous fibers.
Extrusion and Fiber Formation
After melting, the molten basalt is extruded through bushings (nozzles) to form continuous fibers. The diameters of these fibers can be controlled by adjusting the size of the nozzles and the drawing speed. The final filament diameter typically ranges between 9 to 13 micrometers.
Sizing and Coating
Immediately after extrusion, the fibers undergo a process called sizing. Sizing involves applying a chemical coating to the fibers to improve handling, increase strength, and enhance compatibility with other materials like resins.
Winding and Packaging
The final step in basalt fiber production is winding and packaging. The continuous fibers are wound onto spools or bobbins for easy transport and storage. This ensures that the fibers remain intact and ready for use in various industrial applications.
