What Is Continuous Basalt Fiber

Continuous basalt fiber is a continuous fiber made from volcanic rock as raw material, which is rapidly drawn after high-temperature melting at 1450-1500℃. Its appearance is golden brown and belongs to non-metallic inorganic fibers. Continuous basalt fiber has excellent properties as bellow:

Outstanding temperature resistance.
Good mechanical properties.
Superb corrosion resistance.
Outstanding chemical stability.
Good insulation and thermal insulation.
Low dielectric and high electrical resistance.
Good resistance to erosion.

Continuous basalt fiber can be made into twisted yarn, roving, spinning, woven fabric, chopped strands and other products used in different fields.

Basalt Twisted Yarn

Basalt fiber textile yarn is made of one or more basalt fiber fibril twisted and combined yarn, the diameter of the single filament is generally ≤13um. Textile yarn can be divided into weaving yarn and other industrial yarn. Weaving yarn is mainly tube yarn and bottle-shaped bobbin yarn.

Main Technical Index of Basalt Twisted Yarn

2	Linear density		g/km	11-800
3	Twist		tpm	16-300
4	Oil content		%	0.7±0.3
5	Moisture content		%	≤0.2
6	Dry yarn	Breaking strength	N/tex	≥0.5
7	Impregnated yarn	Tensile strength	MPa	≥2500
		Elastic modulus	GPa	≥80
		Breaking elongation	%	≥2.0

Application

Weaving fabrics and tapes.

Sewing thread etc.

Basalt Fiber Roving Yarn

Basalt fiber roving yarn is a basalt fiber product made by combing single strands of raw silk or multiple strands of parallel raw silk in the state of untwisted. The products include direct yarn, internal yarn and external yarn.

Main Technical Index of Basalt Roving Yarn

6	Impregnated yarn	Tensile strength	MPa	≥2000	Wrapping and rebar	Vinyl resin, epoxy, unsaturated polyester
		Elastic modulus	GPa	≥80
		Breaking elongation	%	≥3.1

Application

Wrapping, Squeezing, Weaving etc.

Basalt Asphalt Chopped Strands

Basalt asphalt chopped strands is a product made of continuous basalt fiber short cut, which is a competitive product to replace polyester fiber and lignin fiber for asphalt concrete.

Regular Specification of Basalt Asphalt Chopped Strands

Filament diameter (um)	Length (mm)	Sizing agent type	Moisture content %
17	6	261F	≤0.20

Application

High grade asphalt pavement, especially heavy load and heavy traffic sections in high-temperature and rainy areas, as well as longitudinal slope sections (new roads) .

Road disease treatment, old asphalt pavement overlay, cement concrete pavement “ white to black” asphalt concrete (large and medium maintenance, road maintenance).

Steel structure bridge pavement asphalt surface layer.

Recycled asphalt pavement.

Basalt Cement Chopped Strands

Basalt cement chopped strands is a product made of continuous basalt fiber filament or pretreated fiber, which is an excellent material for cement concrete cracking reinforcement.
