New environmentally friendly fiber - Basalt fiber

Basalt fiber is made by high-speed drawing of basalt ore after high-temperature melting. It has excellent mechanical properties, a wide range of operating temperatures, and good wear resistance, corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance.

Basalt fiber can replace glass fiber to a large extent.Because no boron and other alkali metal oxides are discharged during the melting of basalt, no harmful substances are precipitated in the smoke discharged by the pool furnace in the continuous basalt fiber manufacturing process, no harmful gases are discharged into the atmosphere, and no industrial waste and toxic substances pollute the environment. Glass fiber is made of pyrophyllite, quartz sand, limestone, borate calcium stone, borate magnesium stone, fluorite and other raw materials. Basalt fiber can replace glass fiber to a large extent. Therefore, continuous basalt fiber is known as a new environmentally friendly fiber of the 21st century that "volcanic rock turns into silk" and "turns stone into gold".

The fiber preparation process is mature and the cost is low. It is a sustainable green fiber material. Basalt fiber composites made of basalt fiber as reinforcement and resin as matrix have excellent mechanical properties, good environmental adaptability and low price. They have the potential to replace existing glass fiber composites in high-tech fields such as construction, vehicles, ships, aerospace, etc.

In addition, basalt fiber is also a low-cost substitute for carbon fiber and has a series of excellent properties.

More importantly, since it is taken from natural ore without any additives, it is the only green and healthy glass fiber product that is non-environmentally friendly and non-carcinogenic. Therefore, the application of basalt fiber in the field of composite material reinforcement has attracted widespread attention and will develop rapidly.
