Basalt

The optimal solution for sustainable construction Eco-friendly products

Basalt rocks are classified as solid, black volcanic igneous rocks, They are well-known and widely distributed across the Earth’s surface, covering extensive areas and also large portions of the ocean floors.

Basalt fibers are produced from basalt rocks by melting them and then converting the molten material into basalt fibers. The diameter of basalt fibers typically ranges between 10 and 20 microns, Basalt fibers also have a high elasticity factor, resulting in a high specific strength three times the strength of the steel.

Hardness and Tensile Strength:
Basalt rebar has tensile strength and hardness that are three times greater compared to steel rebar.
Bending and Expansion:
Basalt rebar is considered to have superior resistance to bending and expansion compared to steel rebar.
Flexibility:
Basalt rebar has high flexibility when bending and expanding.
Linear flexibility specifications:
Baslat rebar has linear flexibility specifications according to loads and stresses or tension with a relative elongation of only 5.6% when subjected to tensile stress.
Rust and Corrosion Resistance:
Basalt rebar is characterized by its ability to resist rust and corrosion at the same level as stainless steel and its resistance to the alkaline environment of concrete.
Thermal conductivity:
Basalt rebar is characterized by low thermal conductivity, which gives it high effectiveness.
Flammability:
Basalt rebar is distinguished by being non-flammable.
Radio waves:
Basalt rebar is characterized by being transparent to radio waves.
Electrical Conductivity:
Basalt rebar is characterized by being non-conductive.
Temperature range in application:
Basalt rebar is distinguished by a wide temperature range in its various applications, from -70°C to 100°C and beyond.
Environmentally Friendly:
Basalt rebar is distinguished by being environmentally friendly.
