High-performance concrete was prepared using varying dosages of nano-SiO2 and basalt fiber, and its compressive and tensile strength was measured.

The region with high potential for the development of basalt-oriented industries will be represented by S. V. Bykov, the Deputy of the Smolensk Regional Duma of the fifth convocation.

The basalt fiber is a promising reinforcing fiber because it has a relatively higher tensile strength and a density similar to that of a concrete matrix as well as no corrosion possibility.

Basalt fiber factory in the Chaplyginskaya SEZ (special economic zone) will be constructed by Polimer-Sintez LLC, which obtained the status of a SEZ resident last year. The issues connected with a land for construction are now under consideration, and the company is going to get a loan to implement this project.

The evolution of fibre-matrix interactions in basalt-fibre-reinforced geopolymer matrix composites after heating to 600, 800 and 1000 °C was investigated by means of SEM, EDS and XRD analyses.

The Global Basalt Fiber Market is poised to grow at a CAGR of around 14.2% over the next decade. This is a conclusion made by a consulting firm Research and Markets in its report “Global Basalt Fiber Market Analysis & Trends – Industry Forecast to 2025”.

The Executive Director of NPO Soyuzbazalt Roman Nezobibatko spoke in the interview for Basalt.Today about the current state of basalt industry, competitive advantages of basalt fiber, and basalt industry growth areas in Russia and worldwide.

Aim of this project is to study a in situ resource utilization: the usage of Lunar soil for the production of fibers.

Isomatex, a basalt fiber manufacturer, was presented among innovative start-ups during the recent International Paris Air Show in Le Bourget. This year’s Air Show focused particularly on innovations in the aerospace.

Basalt rock can be used to make not only basalt bars but also basalt fabrics, chopped basalt fiber strands, continuous basalt filament wires and basalt mesh.
