Basalt 7mm Chopped Fibre Strand

Sold by 10kg bag

Basalt Fibre for reinforcing of concrete and cement render mixes.

The addition of basalt chopped fiber increases the toughness and the work-ability during the application of hand-troweled or sprayed concrete or render.

Basalt Fibre Chopped Strands – are short extracts of basalt fibre applied in the reinforcement of renders and concrete. The chopped strands are produced by chopping roving.

Basalt fibre is resilient to chemicals and corrosion and it increases the ductility of concrete structures and resists micro-cracking.

Basalt 7mm Chopped Fibre – 10kg bag

Basalt is a very common type of igneous rock formed by the rapid cooling of lava at the surface of the Earth’s crust. The characteristics of Basalt rock vary depending on the source of the lava, the cooling rate, and its historical exposure to the elements. High-quality fibres are made from basalt deposits with uniform chemical makeup.

The production of basalt and glass fibres is very similar. Crushed basalt is the only raw material required to manufacture the fibre. It is a continuous fibre produced by drawing basaltic melt at about 1,500 °C  (2,700°F).

Though the temperature required to produce fibres from basalt is higher than glass, it is reported by some researchers that production of fibres made from basalt requires less energy due to the uniformity of its heating
