Basalt Fiber Fabric

Basalt Fiber Fabric is a fabric made of basalt fiber (Basalt Fiber) made by melting basalt rock through a weaving process. As a natural mineral fiber, basalt fiber has unique properties and is widely used in construction, automobiles, ships, and industry. As a reinforcing material, it has a high cost-effectiveness.

Characteristics of basalt fiber

Basalt fiber is made by melting basalt ore at high temperature and has the following advantages:

• Excellent high temperature resistance: Basalt fiber has excellent high temperature resistance and can withstand temperatures up to 800°C, which is stronger than glass fiber and some synthetic fibers.

• Strength and rigidity: The strength of basalt fiber is comparable to that of glass fiber, and even slightly better in some cases. It also has good rigidity and tensile strength and can withstand greater external forces.

• Corrosion resistance: Basalt fiber has good acid, alkali and corrosion resistance, and is suitable for harsh environments, especially in applications exposed to chemicals.

• Excellent electrical insulation: Basalt fiber is a good electrical insulator, non-conductive, and suitable for use in areas requiring electrical insulation.

• Environmental protection: Basalt fiber is made of natural ore and does not contain any harmful substances, so it is an environmentally friendly material that can be recycled and reused.

• Excellent UV resistance: Basalt fiber has strong resistance to ultraviolet rays and can be used for a long time without degradation.

Characteristics of basalt woven cloth

Basalt woven cloth is a cloth produced by the weaving process of basalt fiber. Its characteristics include:

• High temperature resistance: The temperature resistance range of basalt woven cloth can reach 600°C-800°C, and it maintains its physical properties in high temperature environments, making it suitable for high temperature working occasions.

• Strength and rigidity: Basalt woven cloth has high tensile strength and rigidity, can withstand large external forces, and maintain a good shape during use.

• Corrosion resistance and chemical resistance: Basalt woven cloth has excellent chemical resistance, strong resistance to many chemicals such as acids, alkalis, and salts, and is suitable for harsh environments.

• UV resistance: Compared with glass fiber, basalt fiber is more resistant to ultraviolet radiation, not easy to age, and has a longer service life.

• Environmentally friendly and harmless: Basalt fiber is non-toxic and harmless, does not produce substances harmful to the human body, and meets environmental protection standards.

Application of basalt woven cloth

Basalt woven cloth is widely used in many industries due to its excellent performance, mainly including:

• Reinforced concrete structure: Basalt woven cloth can be used to enhance the strength and durability of building materials such as concrete and prefabricated panels, and improve their tensile, compression, and earthquake resistance.

• Fireproof materials: Due to its high temperature and fire resistance, basalt woven cloth can be used as fireproof and heat-insulating materials, and is widely used in building exterior walls, fire isolation areas and other places.

• Automotive parts: Basalt fiber is also used in the automotive field, especially for the manufacture of automobile bodies, carriages, tires and other parts, to enhance the high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and strength of automobiles.

• Railway and Shipbuilding: Basalt woven fabric can also be used as reinforcement materials in railways, ships and other fields to improve the durability and impact resistance of these structures.

• Power Equipment: Basalt fiber is often used in outer sheaths and isolation materials of power equipment due to its good electrical insulation.

• Wind Power Generation: Basalt woven fabric is used in the manufacture of wind turbine blades to improve the strength and weather resistance of the blades.

• Environmental Protection Materials: Basalt woven fabric is an environmentally friendly material that is widely used in the industrial field as a protective material for heat insulation, sound insulation, and chemical corrosion resistance.

• Petrochemical Industry: Basalt woven fabric is suitable for protection and reinforcement materials in the petrochemical industry due to its high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance.

Production process of basalt woven fabric

The process of producing basalt woven fabric includes the following steps:

• Processing of basalt ore: The basalt ore is melted at high temperature and converted into basalt fiber.

• Fiber drawing and weaving: Basalt fibers are drawn into long and thin fibers and woven into cloth through weaving processes (such as plain, twill, satin, etc.).

• Post-processing: Basalt woven cloth may undergo post-processing processes such as impregnation with resin as needed to enhance its weather resistance, water resistance or other properties.

Advantages of basalt woven cloth

• High temperature resistance: Basalt woven cloth can withstand temperatures up to 800°C and is widely used in high temperature environments.

• Environmental protection: Basalt fiber is made of natural minerals, non-toxic, harmless, and recyclable.

• High strength and corrosion resistance: It has very good tensile strength, acid and alkali resistance, and corrosion resistance, and is suitable for use in harsh environments.

• UV resistance: It has strong resistance to UV aging and is suitable for outdoor and long-term exposure applications
