2. BASALT
• Basalt is a very
versatile rock found in
abundance in every
country
• They have no toxic
reaction with
atmosphere & water
• Basalt composites can
replace steel (1 kg of
basalt reinforcement is
equal to 9.6 kg of
steel)
3. Low cost, high performance fibers can offer the
potential to solve the largest problem in the cement
& construction industry of cracking & structure
failure.
Basalt is an natural mineral found on good quantity
in India can replace steel fiber, glass fiber,
polypropylene, polyester ,Arid & carbon on the
grounds of STERNGTH , TEMPRATURE & DURABILITY.
4. Advantages of Basalt rock fiber
They have no toxic effect
water.
with air &
Very high chemical resistance.
Basalt can prove to be best reinforcement
due to its tensile strength.
5. It can replace all of the alternatives
efficiently.
Water absorption without any effect on its
properties.
Very high working & melting temperature
.
6. Field Application of Basalt fiber
Building & Bridge construction
Road Construction
UnderGround Construction
