What Is Basalt Fiber Fabric?
Basalt fiber fabric is a woven material made from basalt fibers. These fibers are produced by melting natural basalt rock and extruding it into filaments. The fabric is known for its eco-friendliness and heat resistance.
Key Characteristics
Eco-friendliness is a major advantage. Basalt is a natural material requiring minimal processing. The fabric is non-toxic and recyclable, reducing environmental impact.
Excellent heat resistance allows it to withstand temperatures up to 600°C (1112°F). This makes it ideal for high-temperature applications where other fabrics fail.
It offers good strength and durability. It provides reliable reinforcement in composites and resists wear and tear. It is a cost-effective alternative to carbon fiber in some cases.
Applications
High-temperature insulation uses include industrial furnace linings and exhaust system wraps. It blocks heat transfer and protects surrounding components.
Composite manufacturing uses it for automotive, marine and construction parts. It strengthens composites while adding heat resistance.
Fire protection applications include fire curtains and protective clothing. Its flame resistance helps contain fires and protect people.
Selection Tips
Confirm temperature rating. Choose a fabric rated for your application’s maximum temperature. This ensures long-term performance and safety.
Check weave type and density. Different weaves offer varying levels of strength and flexibility. Denser weaves provide better insulation and strength.
Evaluate cost benefits. It often costs less than carbon or aramid fabrics. Consider if its properties meet your needs at a lower cost.
