High-Performance Material Basalt Fiber

Product Features:

• High Tensile Strength: Basalt fiber boasts high tensile strength, typically ranging from 2.9 to 3.1 GPa. This strength is comparable to that of carbon fiber, yet it comes at a significantly lower cost. Furthermore, it demonstrates 15-25% higher tensile strength and modulus compared to regular E-glass, offering a superior alternative in many applications.  

• High Elastic Modulus: With an elastic modulus ranging from 85-87 GPa, basalt fiber exhibits a high specific strength, notably three times that of steel, contributing to its effectiveness in reinforcement applications.  

• Exceptional Temperature Resistance: This material maintains its structural integrity across an extended operating temperature range, from -260°C up to an impressive +560°C. This broad thermal stability makes it an ideal material for high-temperature applications, thermal insulation, and fire protection, significantly outperforming E-glass, which typically operates from -60°C to +460°C.  

• Superior Corrosion Resistance: Basalt fiber offers robust resistance to chemical and environmental degradation. While generally corrosion-resistant, studies indicate its alkali resistance is superior to its acid resistance, making it particularly effective in alkaline environments such as concrete, where traditional materials like steel are prone to corrosion.  

• Excellent Electrical and Sound Insulation: Basalt fiber provides effective electrical and sound insulating properties, enhancing its versatility for use in electrical components and noise reduction applications.  

• Lightweight: Its low density of 2.65 g/cm3 makes it significantly lighter than steel, contributing to crucial weight reductions in industries such as automotive and aerospace, which directly impacts fuel efficiency and performance.  

• Durability and Vibration Resistance: Basalt fiber is renowned for its high resistance to wear and tear, ensuring longevity of products. It also exhibits good vibration resistance, making it suitable for dynamic applications.  

• Non-Toxic and Non-Carcinogenic: A critical health and safety advantage is its filament diameter, typically between 10 and 20 μm, which is well above the respiratory limit of 5 μm. This characteristic positions basalt fiber as a safe and suitable replacement for hazardous materials like asbestos. Furthermore, it is an inert material, containing no harmful or toxic substances, and is certified non-carcinogenic by leading health organizations including NTP, IARC, and OSHA.
