Basalt Cut Fiber

Cut to the Required Length

For use in concrete, asphalt, polymers, and other bonding systems, continuous basalt fibres are chopped to specific lengths to create basalt-cut fibres. According to the materials provided, chopped filaments are a brief extract of basalt fibres that are produced by roving with a specialised shredder. Fibre lengths can be chosen according to the intended use thanks to the cutting procedure.

With tolerances of ±1.5 mm, the technical parameters provide a number of cutting length possibilities, including 3, 6, 13, 15, 18, 25, 27, and 50 mm. With tolerances of roughly 0.5 μm, the common fibre sizes are 9, 13, and 17 μm. The moisture content is less than 2.0% and the modulus of elasticity is between 9100 and 11000 kg/mm².When matching basalt-cut fibres to their production processes, these criteria give customers precise guidelines.

Matching the Fiber to the Matrix

There are many size alternatives depending on additional processing. Portland cement and bitumen sizes are determined by the information supplied, but thermoplastic, epoxy, polyester, PVA, and phenolic resin systems have resin-compatible variants.

Because of this, basalt-cut fibres can be used for a range of reinforcing techniques. Concrete and bitumen, composite moulding, automobile components, ship hulls, pultruded goods, brake liners and pads, basalt felts and pads, high-temperature insulation, and passive fireproofing are some examples of applications.

As a result, the final matrix and processing conditions should be considered before choosing a product. The physical shape of the reinforcement is determined by the fibre diameter and cut length, and the size must match the blended or moulded material. Instead of utilising generic grades, basalt-cut fibres can be specified based on these specifications for clients with existing production processes.
