Basalt Fiber Roving

Continuous Basalt roving is made of a bundle of parallel strands without twisting.

The packing of the bobbin includes inner-pulling and outside pulling. The tensile strength of the roving 6-13μ M is 0.6N/Tex, the elastic modulus is_91GPa and the elongation at break is_3.1%. Compared with the PPTA & UHMWPE, this basalt fiber not only has the high strength, high modulus & the excellent shock resistance but also high-temperature resistance, light resistance.

Especially, the surface combined with the resin, which has the better binder strength. So this basalt fiber is a kind of inorganic fiber which can be used as the ballistic & protection material. In the composites, this basalt fiber has the inner tensile resistance, press resistance, strength, fatigue resistance properties. It has the explosive prevention function when used in the ballistic material & can prevent the danger from the explosive blast. And it has the another advantages such as: No bounce, no spalling, no second execution fracture function, which can be used the base material of the ceramic facing armoring system.

Fields of application:
- Filament-winding of various pipes, tanks, and cylinders;
- Various woven rovings, mesh fabrics and Geotextiles;
- Repair (healing) and strengthening of infrastructures;
- Chopped fibers for heat resistant SMC, BMC, and DMC;
- Reinforced plastics.

Examples of application:
- Continuous basalt roving of 1200tex and 2400tex are preferred for making mesh fabrics, geogrids and base cloth for high-temperature filtration needled felts, which can be reliably used under temperature from-260 to 650 C; Which has the stable handling property.
- Continuous Basalt roving of 4800tex and 2400tex is preferred for filamentwinding of pipes and
Tanks resistant to high-temperature, super low temperature, chemical corrosion and high-pressure;
- Hybrid use with carbon fiber to filament-wind LPG and natural gas tanks;
- Heat shields for tank gun tubes, gun turrets, etc.
