Basalt is made from superior Basalt fibres derived from volcanic rock making it an eco-friendly and natural material. Specially developed for the industry this material can be used for complete sockets or local reinforcement. By offering a similar surface finish to Carbon fibre it could also be used for a decorative finish.
The 2×1 weave is more pliable than plain weave (1×1) allowing better folding, hanging and draping capacity with better coverage over curved surfaces.
It has good chemical stability performance, high temperature resistance, UV resistance, environmental friendly and good cost/performance ratio.
- Safer and cleaner to use than other composites.
- Little to no skin irritation from dust or loose fibres.
- Mechanical properties between, Carbon and Glass fibre makes it a useful and interesting alternative.
- Easier and cleaner to machine than Glass, Carbon and Aramid fibres.
- Compatible with all resins.
- Non-toxic and non-carcinogenic.
- Lower Rated PPE required to Carbon Fibre (P1 Dust Mask not P3).
- Excellent strength and durability as well as being lightweight.
