Basalt fiber application

Basalt materials can be used in many fields


Good combination of properties and large variety of basfiber® products determine wide usage of basalt fiber in different fields.

One of the main applications of basalt fiber products is construction

Many building materials can be produced of basalt fiber. Basalt reinforcement for constructions and roads is effective way to achieve excellent results due to high mechanical properties and good chemical resistance of basalt fiber. Basfiber® products can be used for:
