Basalt Fiber Chopped Strands is a product made from continuous basalt fiber filaments or pre-treated fiber chopped into short pieces. The fibers are coated with a (silane) wetting agent. Basalt Fiber Chopped Strands is the material of choice for reinforcing thermoplastic resins and is also the best material for reinforcing concrete.
Basalt Fiber Chopped Strands is a product made from continuous basalt fiber filaments or pre-treated fiber chopped into short pieces. The fibers are coated with a (silane) wetting agent. Basalt Fiber Strands are the material of choice for reinforcing thermoplastic resins and are also the best material for reinforcing concrete. Basalt is a high-performance volcanic rock component, and this special silicate gives basalt fibers excellent chemical resistance, with particular advantage of alkali resistance. Therefore, basalt fiber is an alternative to polypropylene (PP), polyacrylonitrile (PAN) for reinforcing cement concrete is an excellent material; is also an alternative to polyester fibers, lignin fibers, etc. used in asphalt concrete is very competitive products, can improve the high temperature stability of asphalt concrete, low-temperature resistance to cracking and resistance to fatigue and so on.
Applications
1. It is suitable for reinforcing thermoplastic resin, and is a high-quality material for manufacturing sheet molding compound (SMC), block molding compound (BMC) and dough molding compound (DMC).
2. Suitable for compounding with resin as reinforcing material for automobile, train and ship shells.
