Kamenny Vek, a high profile manufacturer of continuous basalt fiber under Basfiber® trademark has announced the launch of a new product, the only one of its kind in the world: basalt direct roving with linear density of 2000 tex.

Basalt composites continue to gain momentum. A good plus of basalt roving is the ability to adapt to the specific needs of a customer.

Reinforcing mesh produced of basalt roving can be applied for the reinforcement of self-leveling floors, waterproofing course, joints, surfaces and facade plasters.

This report investigates the use of basalt fibers in a composite along with SC-15 epoxy resin for ballistic protection. Basalt fibers are not known as a ballistic material, but rather as a structural one. Even though basalt fibers are not expected to outperform some of the higher ballistic-performing materials such as aramid and polyethylene fibers, because of their lower manufacturing ...

The renewed range will include composite basalt pipes for the oil and gas industry, several kinds of basalt meshes, composite rebar, and chopped roving. The product range will be renewed during the modernization of manufacturing facilities.

The Polotsk-Steklovolokno plant saw 2015 off with a successful launch of the basalt fiber production facility, which has been modified by the company experts. The technical innovations introduced to the process technology make possible to increase performance with reduced expenditure side of the production.
