comprehensive advantages of basalt fiber

Compared with traditional glass fiber and polyester fiber geogrids, basalt fiber geogrid has excellent performance and competitive cost, making it an ideal choice for modern construction.

      Higher strength

The tensile strength of basalt fiber is ≥80kN/m (50kN/m for glass fiber and 30kN/m for polyester fiber), ensuring better crack resistance of asphalt concrete layer.

       Longer service life

The durability of basalt fiber is more than 25 years (10-15 years for glass fiber and 5-8 years for polyester fiber), which reduces long-term replacement costs.

       Cost-effective

Its lower life cycle cost，saves long-term budget.

Basalt chopped fibers are products made from continuous basalt fiber strands or pre-treated chopped fibers. The product has the characteristics of high strength, chemical corrosion resistance, high and low temperature resistance, etc. Basalt fiber is an excellent material for replacing polypropylene (PP) and polyacrylonitrile (PAN) for reinforcing cement concrete, and is also a product for replacing polyester fiber, lignin fiber, etc. for asphalt concrete, which can improve the high temperature stability, low temperature stability and tensile strength of concrete.

Our basalt fiber mesh is engineered for superior reinforcement in both road surfaces and building walls. It effectively prevents reflective cracking in highway overlays from traffic loads and temperature changes while also strengthening walls against shrinkage and settlement cracks. Offering 20% material savings in asphalt pavements and easier installation than steel, this lightweight yet high-strength solution extends structure lifespans, reduces maintenance needs, and delivers corrosion-resistant performance for roads, buildings, and industrial applications - all while cutting construction time and costs.

Basalt Fiber Geogrid is a revolutionary material for infrastructure engineering, specifically designed for reinforcement between asphalt and concrete layers. With ultra-high tensile strength (≥80kN/m) and heat resistance up to 650°C, it effectively prevents asphalt pavement rutting and reflective cracking, extending road service life by 5-8 years. Its unique surface modification technology significantly enhances bonding strength with cement concrete (1.8MPa), making it an ideal solution for bridge joints and old road rehabilitation. Compared to traditional geogrids, its exceptional durability (25+ years) and lower lifecycle costs are driving rapid adoption in critical projects like heavy-duty highways and airport runways, replacing fiberglass and polyester geogrids.

Basalt fiber cloth is a high-performance composite material made from natural basalt. With a density of only 2.65g/cm³, it combines lightweight properties with high strength. It exhibits an exceptional temperature resistance range from -260°C to 700°C, along with outstanding fireproof and flame-retardant characteristics. The material demonstrates superior corrosion resistance and anti-aging capabilities, enabling long-term resistance to acids, alkalis, salts, and UV radiation. Additionally, it possesses excellent electrical insulation and electromagnetic wave transparency. Currently, this material finds wide applications in various fields including construction reinforcement, aerospace, automotive manufacturing, and protective equipment. Its cost-effectiveness and comprehensive performance advantages make it an ideal replacement for traditional materials, with promising prospects for future development.

FLOOR

When used in various floors, Basalt Fiber Chopped prevent cracks, allow for reduced rebar usage or thinner concrete slabs. Thanks to its even distribution, it enhances both surface and overall structural toughness.

CONCRETE IMPROVEMENT

Basalt Fiber Chopped effectively prevents surface cracks in large - scale concrete, ensures consistent toughness under various loads in reinforced concrete structures, reduces rebound during shotcreting, enhances concrete surface wear resistance, improves freeze and water resistance, and accelerates drying in thick concrete sections.

Our basalt fiber mesh provides an innovative solution for wall reinforcement, effectively preventing cracks while offering lightweight, corrosion-resistant and cost-saving advantages over traditional steel mesh, making it ideal for various construction applications from concrete walls to historical restoration.

Basalt fiber mesh delivers superior performance for ground applications, effectively reinforcing road surfaces while preventing cracks and reducing pavement thickness by up to 20%, offering a durable, lightweight and cost-efficient alternative to traditional steel reinforcement for highways, industrial floors and infrastructure projects.

Effectively disperse the shear stress between the asphalt layer and the cement base, reducing more than 80% of reflective cracks

Reduces rutting depth by 50% and extends the service life by more than 2 times that of fiberglass grillecks
