| Description |
Basalt fiber has properties that are far superior to fibreglass. For example, basalt fabric subjected to the flame of a Bunsen burner will redden and could withstand for several hours compared to a few seconds for a fibreglass fabric of the same density. Basalt products resist flame, continuous temperatures of up to 700 °C, chemicals (acids and bases), are very good acoustic and electrical insulators and have good mechanical properties. |
