Basalt fabric,

Manufactured from basalt continuous fiber yarn by conventional weaving methods. Looms of various kinds are used for basalt cloth manufacture. High operation temperature, thermal and chemical resistance makes it possible to develop new composites, based on this fabric. Composite materials, based on basalt fabric, are noted for their unique thermo-mechanical and dielectric characteristics.

Fields of use:

- Heat, flame, chemical and abrasion resistant clothing;

- Filtering materials;

- Reinforced thermoplastic;

- Soft body armor (ballistic protection);

- Carpet and upholstery manufacturing, etc.

Net knitted from basalt thread.

Fields of use:

- Landscaping and rock fall protection;

- Hydroponics;

- Base for honeycombed constructive and industrial panels;

- Reinforcement for concrete and plastic structures, etc.

Basalt laminates for PCB.

It is composite materials reinforced by basalt fabric. Basalt laminates have been developed for various binding agents: phenol, epoxy, polyamide resins, etc.

Test results comparing copper foil-clad laminates, based on glass and basalt fabrics, prepared under similar conditions for specific volume and surface resistance values, basalt based laminates obtain parameters of magnitude as 2-orders higher than required. The value of loss tangent after conditioning is 50% lower for basalt based PCB; its water absorption is 2…3 times lower; resistance to foil separation is 20…30% higher and after thermal shock – 2-times higher.

Fields of use: Electronic and high-tech industry;

Furniture, as calibrated standard planes, graph plotter, etc.
