Nowadays up to 50% of our total production of Basfiber® goes to the geogrids and construction mesh manufacturing.
Use of Basfiber® in construction application allows to considerably increase the quality of road pavement and construction structures, to increase service life by 3-5 years and time between overhauls by 15%, decelerate the process of cracks and rutting formation compared to meshes produced of Е-glass.
This is the reason why more and more construction companies around the world use different types of basalt mesh and geogrid in their projects and why more and more mesh manufacturers begin production of basalt geogrid and mesh instead of traditional products made out of E-glass and other types of fiber.
Sewing-knitting technology, used for mesh production, allows to achieve the best realization of physical and mechanical properties of basalt fiber in the end product.
See special Section «Geogrid mesh».
Basalt reinforcing mesh with alkali resistant coating was developed to prevent cracks as well as for reinforcement of mortars and non load bearing concrete.
The higher tensile strength of this product, compared to E-glass or steel, increases impact resistance and prevents from cracks appearance. This mesh can meet the expectations and strict requirements of most demanding companies from construction market.
Our high-performance, alkali-resistant basalt mesh will not rot, rust or corrode, and it provides increased strength in different cementitious applications. Thanks to its lightweight, easy install and use basalt mesh Basfiber® will be superior alternatives to steel.
