Fire Resistant Basalt Fabric

Non-Combustible Protection

Applications requiring strength and fire resistance use refractory basalt fabric, which is composed of continuous basalt fibres. The basalt fibres themselves are fireproof and non-flammable. Basalt fabric can withstand temperatures as high as 1800°F (982°C) without losing its integrity,theoretically speaking.
Basalt rocks melted at high temperatures to create continuous fibres, then it is used to make this fabric. Depending on the intended use, these fibres are then weaved into fabrics with various weights, thicknesses, weaving patterns, and weaving procedures.

Fire Protection Applications

Numerous fire-related applications are identified in the product information provided. Basalt fabric can be used for roof protection, wall laminates that extend the burn-through time, fire-resistant garments, and fire-resistant and fire-controlling fire curtains.
Additionally, it is employed in fireproof felt to put out complicated flames brought on by the ignition of extremely flammable liquids. Non-flammable basalt cloth inserts can improve industrial ventilation systems' fire safety and fire resistance.
This substance has also been identified as an industrial filtration material for bag-style dust collectors and exhaust chimneys.

More Than Fire Resistance

Additionally, the refractory basalt fabric offers strong coating adhesion qualities and exceptional tensile strength. High strength and elastic modulus, chemical resistance, sound and heat insulation, and high resistance are all characteristics of basalt fibres.
Manual lamination, prepreg, pultrusion, SMC/BMC, resin transfer moulding, resin film interlacing, and vacuum impregnation can all be used to treat the fabric for composite material applications. Plain weave, twill, and satin weave structures can be chosen based on the fabric structure that is needed.
The required weight, thickness, weaving, and application should determine the actual specifications for clients assessing refractory fabrics. Before production, application testing should be carried out using the technical information that has been supplied as a starting point.
