Fibers are threads that can be made of minerals, metals and synthetic fibers.

 

　　The famous fiber types are as follows: steel fiber, basalt fiber, polypropylene (polymer) fiber, glass fiber, polyester fiber and carbon fiber.

 

　　The fiber is mainly designed to improve the strength characteristics of various materials (concrete, asphalt, plastic, rubber, etc.) and is used as reinforcement additive.

 

　　All types of fibers have different technical characteristics, so they have their advantages and disadvantages.

 

　　Basalt fiber is made of basalt. Basalt is a kind of igneous rock, which was formed by the massive influx of lava into the earth's surface in prehistoric times. The unique properties of this rock are affected by a series of processes in the formation of the crust, namely the melting and solidification of the mantle. Basalt is characterized by high resistance to corrosive environment, corrosion resistance, and will not lose its performance with the passage of time. Basalt fiber inherits all these characteristics and has a lower cost compared with carbon fiber, alkali resistant ar glass and polypropylene.
