In this section you can find additional information about "Kamenny Vek" products and their applications. In addition the data about basalt fiber properties and test methods are available.
Nowadays the large part of our total production of Basfiber® goes to our customers engaged in rebar and pultruded profiles manufacturing. Composite profiles of different cross-section are produced by standard pultrusion technology. Basalt rebars are produced by combining pultrusion and winding processes. Basalt fiber reinforced rebars significantly improve the durability of civil engineering structures especially under corrosion environment....

Kamenny Vek has been producing continuous basalt fibre under the brand name Basfiber® for more than 10 years. Over that time, technological process and equipment have been significantly modernized and now the company is manufacturing products with improved properties and better processability in comparison with basalt fibre produced by other manufacturers, and even with the fibre that it produced just a few years ago.
Established in 2002 in Dubna (Moscow region, Russia), Kamenny Vek manufactures high quality continuous basalt fibres to offer a broad range of products (direct rovings, assembled rovings, twisted yarns, chopped strands, etc.) and technical solutions for many different applications, such as thermoinsulation, construction industry, automotive parts, windmill blades, friction applications, high-pressure cylinders, and more.
More and more sectors are becoming interested in basalt fibres. The range of applications is diversifying, and includes some high-value-added ones. Russian company Kamenny Vek is one of the players in that market. In this article, it reviews the characteristics of basalt fibre and the innovative applications in which it is used.
Sizing is essential to basalt fiber manufacture and critical to several key fiber characteristics that determine both how fibers will handle during processing and how they perform as part of a composite. "Kamenny Vek" company has a wide range of various sizings for different applications.
This method applies to basalt single yarns, direct rovings, assembled rovings, twisted yarns and describes techniques of specimen preparation and their testing.
The test method is harmonized with ASTM D 3822 standard.
Due to the fact that basalt fiber is stiffer and more brittle than glass fiber, preparation of specimens for evaluation of mechanical properties should be more careful.
