WOVEN ROVING basalt
Harnessing natural strength and exceptional fire resistance for versatile applications.
Derived from fine fibers of basalt minerals, this basalt fiber material boasts physicomechanical properties comparable to fiberglass but at a lower cost than carbon fiber.
This material is fire-resistant and exhibits excellent acid and alkali resistance, making it suitable for various industrial applications. Its low thermal expansion and good electrical insulation properties further enhance its versatility.
Common applications primarily include the automotive and aerospace industries, where the material's properties such as fire resistance, low thermal expansion and good electrical insulation are particularly advantageous. In addition, the WOVEN ROVING Basalt fabric can be effectively used in a wide range of other industries that require a balance of strength, durability and economic efficiency.
