Basalt Continuous Fiber - Application of Basalt continuous fiber materials

Basalt fiber has specific ranges of use due to its properties. As basalt fiber is characterized by chemical and thermal stability, this material can be used in areas where the use of other materials is inefficient. For example, basalt fiber can be used in production of geo textiles, reinforcing materials, high-temperature filters, materials for automobile industry, reinforcing nets, composite materials, for reinforcing concrete building structures and road asphaltic-concrete pavements and for producing waterproof materials. The companies that use glass fiber and carbon fiber for producing composite materials can use basalt fiber for this purpose.
