In the modified engineering plastics industry, long-fiber reinforced composites are composites produced from long carbon fibers, long glass fibers, aramid fibers, or basalt fibers and a polymer matrix through a series of special modification methods. The biggest feature of long fiber composites is that they have superior performance that the original material does not have.

Basalt rebar is a revolutionary material that is gaining attention in the construction industry due to its exceptional durability and strength.   Made from basalt, this alternative to traditional steel bars offers a promising solution for building structures that require long-lasting and sustainable materials.   In this blog, we will explore the durability of basalt rebar and answer the following question: How long is the service life of basalt rebar?

Basalt fiber is a new type of inorganic environmentally friendly green high-performance fiber material, which is composed of silica, alumina, calcium oxide, magnesium oxide, iron oxide and titanium dioxide and other oxides. Basalt continuous fiber not only has high strength, but also has a variety of excellent properties such as electrical insulation, corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance and so on.

Basalt fiber through the warp knitting process made of mesh substrate, the surface coating treatment can be made of basalt fiber geogrid. Basalt geogrid is usually used for asphalt pavement reinforcement, reinforcing roadbed and soft soil base.

Basalt fiber raw material is natural basalt, basalt crushed and added to the kiln, in 1400 ~ 1500 ℃ melting, through the stretching of fibers, and the fiber as a reinforcing system into a new type of composite materials.

In today's rapid development of new material technology, basalt stone, which was once only used for paving roads, is now playing an unimaginable role.
From hard stone to light and soft fiber, basalt fiber has become an important role in the field of high-performance materials, widely used in aerospace, construction building materials, energy equipment and other high-tech fields.

Basalt, doesn't that sound cool? It's actually a volcanic rock, formed from magma deep within the earth that rushes up to the surface and cools rapidly during a volcanic eruption. The hot magma flows like a river, and when it cools it turns into a hard rock that is found all over the world, from the black sand beaches of Iceland to the Changbai Mountains in China.
Basalt comes in a variety of colors, black, gray, and brown, and the surface may be as smooth as a mirror to the touch or as rough as sandpaper. It is particularly hard-wearing and resistant to the elements, which makes it play an important role in nature, such as helping to shape the terrain and providing nutritious soil for plants to grow.

Basalt fiber winding pipe is a new type of high-tech composite pipe made of basalt fiber as the main material, which has the advantages of excellent corrosion resistance, long service life, good hydraulic performance, large conveying flow; high strength, safety and reliability; light weight, easy installation and transportation; short construction period and low comprehensive investment; green environmental protection and so on. It can be widely used in urban rainwater and sewage network, farmland irrigation, urban water diversion and transmission, municipal water supply network, water conservancy and hydropower, petrochemical and other fields; and in many aspects show its superiority compared with spiral steel pipe, ductile iron pipe, steel pipe (referred to as PCCP pipe), PE pipe.

Basalt fiber melting process without boron and other alkali metal oxides discharged, which makes the manufacturing process of basalt fiber is harmless to the environment, no industrial waste, no harmful gas emissions to the atmosphere, and basalt fiber decomposition that is the mother soil, can be naturally degraded, the environment will not cause secondary pollution. Therefore, as a new environmentally friendly materials in the 21st century, basalt fiber has become a hot spot for research, but also become the raw material that many industries compete to use. Basalt fiber has sufficient raw materials, environmentally friendly materials, excellent resistance to high temperature and thermal shock stability, good chemical stability, high modulus of elasticity and tensile strength, high acoustic absorption coefficient, good electrical insulation and dielectric properties, natural silicate solubility, low hygroscopicity, low thermal conductivity and other advantageous properties.

As a new type of construction reinforcing material, basalt fibre geogrid has excellent performance and a wide range of application areas, which can replace the traditional reinforcing steel mesh. It is alkali-resistant, flexible, high-strength, non-combustible, non-toxic and environmentally friendly, and is suitable for roads, bridges, buildings and other fields. It is superior to steel reinforcing mesh in terms of corrosion resistance and construction performance, but it is not applicable to occasions with very high requirements for strength and stability.
