Basalt fiber is a specialized fiber-reinforced polymer made from extremely fine strands of basalt rock, a volcanic rock rich in minerals such as pyroxene, plagioclase, and olivine. These fibers are created through a process that involves melting the basalt rock at high temperatures and then extruding it through small nozzles to create fibers. The resulting basalt fiber is known for its high tensile strength, superior thermal resistance, excellent durability, and resistance to corrosive substances and ultraviolet (UV) radiation. It finds diverse applications in producing fire-resistant textiles, reinforced plastics, and construction materials.
