Basalt Fiber
Basalt fiber is a type of inorganic fiber obtained from natural basalt rocks. These fibers are produced by pulling and woven into fine fibers of molten basalt rock, with or without weaving. Basalt fiber is used in various industries mainly because of its high temperature resistance, mechanical strength and chemical resistance.
Features:
High Temperature Resistance: Basalt fiber has the ability to withstand high temperatures. This feature is advantageous for applications operating at high temperatures.
Mechanical Strength: Basalt fiber has high strength properties and therefore can increase the durability of the material when used for reinforcement.
Chemical Resistance: Basalt fiber is resistant to many chemicals. This feature makes it easy to use in environments with chemical exposure.
Electrical Insulation: Basalt fiber composites generally have electrical insulating properties.
Lightness: Basalt fibers have a medium density, which is advantageous in applications requiring lightness.
One of the advantages of basalt fiber is that it is derived from natural sources and can be a more environmentally sustainable alternative. This feature can make it preferred for environmentally sensitive applications.
