Basalt Chopped Strand
Basalt Chopped Strand Fibre
Basalt chopped strand fibre is produced by cutting continuous basalt fibre and coating in a silane sizing. Chopped strands are the best way to reinforce thermoplastic resin and reinforce concrete. Basalt chopped strands contain a special silicate which gives it an excellent chemical resistance and an alkali tolerance. Basalt fibre chopped strands are the perfect material to take the place of PP & PAN to reinforce cement and concrete to improve the stability, low-temperature crack and fatigue resistance.
Applications
- Basalt is the best reinforcement for concrete due to its tensile strength and natural resistance to deterioration from alkali
- Reinforcement for composites, polyester/epoxy resins and plastics as used
in automotive body panels, boat hulls and pultruded products, etc. - Friction materials such as brake pads and linings
- Manufacture of basalt mat/felt
- Filler for gypsum and sheetrock board requiring increased ‘burn-through’ capability, to meet building regulations
