The Basalt fiber is a mineral-based fiber created by heating basalt rocks until they melt and then stretching the molten material into thin fibers. This process produces a fiber that is naturally strong, heat-resistant, and environmentally stable, without the need for major chemical additives. It offers better fire resistance than most plastic-based fibers and has higher tensile strength compared to fiberglass, making it useful for reinforcement, filtration fabrics, composite molding, and high-temperature applications. It is used in sectors like civil infrastructure, industrial textiles, thermal insulation, automotive body reinforcement, marine composites, and energy-efficient fabric layers. Its natural rock origin gives it a long-lasting and non-toxic profile when embedded into finished products.

A significant benefit of basalt fiber is its ability to maintain shape and strength even under extreme temperatures, sudden pressure changes, or long-term outdoor exposure. In concrete reinforcement, it strengthens internal bonding, reducing surface cracks and increasing durability without thick steel layering. In insulation applications, basalt fiber traps air pockets in panels to slow heat movement, improving thermal performance. It also absorbs vibration moderately, making certain basalt textiles suitable for noise-controlled environments. Since basalt fiber is corrosion-free, it lasts longer in humid, salty, or chemically exposed conditions, outperforming metal-based reinforcers in such environments. With recyclability and minimal material degradation, basalt fiber supports sustainable engineering while delivering safety, durability, and performance in long-cycle applications globally.
