Do You Know Basalt Fibers

What is basalt fiber? It is a continuous fiber made of basalt material at 1450 °C - 1500 °C after melting, and then drawn at high speed by platinum rhodium alloy wire drawing leak plate, and its strength is equivalent to that of high-strength S glass fiber. The color of pure natural basalt fibers is generally brown, and some resemble gold. Basalt fiber is a new type of inorganic environmentally friendly green high-performance fiber material, the main components of which are composed of oxides such as silicon dioxide, alumina, calcium oxide, magnesium oxide, iron oxide and titanium dioxide.

Next, Lubils will introduce the properties and applications of basalt fibers.

Basalt fiber is based on pure natural basalt ore as the main raw material, basalt ore is the magma change of volcanic eruption, there are rich reserves on the earth and the moon, so basically it can be said that the raw material of basalt fiber is unlimited.

Basalt, the main composition of the oceanic crust, is a mafic volcanic rock. It is the most important component of the earth's oceanic crust and the moon and the moon, and is also an important component of the earth's continental crust and the moon. In 1546, G. Agricola used the word basalt to describe the black rocks of Saxony, Germany, for the first time in geological literature. The Chinese word basalt, quoted from Japanese. Japan found black olive basalt in the Xuanbu Cave in Hyogo Prefecture, hence the name.

From the perspective of molding process and chemical composition, basalt fiber and glass fiber are similar, the main component of both is silica, and both are inorganic non-metallic fibers. In the production of FRP, we are no strangers to carbon fiber and glass fiber.
