3. Performance Advantages
3.1 Superior Mechanical Strength
Basalt fiber roving delivers tensile strength 30% higher than E-glass fibers (up to 4,800–5,500 MPa), enabling lightweight yet load-bearing structures. The high elastic modulus (86–90 GPa) provides specific tenacity exceeding steel fibers by multiple times.
3.2 Exceptional Thermal Resilience
The product maintains structural integrity across an extreme temperature range from -260°C to +850°C without degradation. It can withstand sustained temperatures up to 982°C (1,800°F), making it ideal for fire-resistant applications and high-temperature environments.
3.3 Outstanding Chemical & Environmental Resistance
· Corrosion Immunity: Resists alkalis, acids, and salts across pH 2-14, even in marine environments
· Alkali & Acid Resistance: High resistance to aggressive chemical environments
· UV Stability: Maintains 98% strength retention after 3,000 hours of accelerated weathering (ISO 4892)
· Hydrophobic Nature: <0.1% moisture absorption prevents matrix debonding
· Nuclear & Biological Immunity: Resistant to nuclear radiation, UV light, and biological contamination
3.4 Low Catenary & Processability
The direct roving format offers zero catenary and excellent appearance. With optimized silane-based sizing, it demonstrates excellent compatibility with a wide range of resin systems including epoxy (EP), vinyl ester (VE), polyester (UP), polypropylene (PP), polyamide (PA), phenolic (PF), and acrylate systems.
3.5 Sustainability Profile
· Made from abundant volcanic rock
· Fully recyclable and non-toxic
· REACH/ROHS compliant
· No carcinogenic risks

4. Applications
4.1 Primary Application: Pultruded Rebar for Concrete Reinforcement
This 23 μm / 2400 tex roving is specifically engineered for the production of basalt fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP) rebar via the pultrusion process.
BFRP Rebar Advantages over Steel:
Property BFRP Rebar Steel Rebar
Weight (same diameter) 1/4 of steel Reference
Tensile Strength ~3× steel strength Reference
Corrosion Resistance Excellent Poor
Magnetic Non-magnetic Magnetic
Thermal Conductivity Low High
The pultrusion process continuously draws fiber rovings and mats through a resin bath and a heated die, producing profiles of consistent cross-section with outstanding mechanical properties.
4.2 Additional Applications
· Filament Winding: Production of high-pressure vessels, chemical storage pipes, and tanks
· Weaving: Geogrids, geotextiles, and various industrial fabrics
· Pultruded Profiles: Structural profiles for construction and infrastructure
· LFT Processes: Twin-screw direct extrusion for fiber-reinforced particles
· SMC/BMC/DMC: High-temperature resistant sheet and bulk molding compounds

5. Pultrusion Process Guidelines
5.1 Process Overview
The pultrusion process for BFRP rebar production involves the following stages:
1. Creel / Yarn Frame: Roving bobbins are mounted on the creel
2. Resin Impregnation: Fibers are drawn through a resin bath containing epoxy, vinyl ester, or polyester resin to achieve complete wet-out
3. Pre-forming: Excess resin is removed and fibers are shaped
4. Heated Die / Curing: The impregnated fibers pass through a heated die where curing occurs
5. Cooling System: The cured profile is cooled
6. Traction Device: Continuous pulling mechanism
7. Automatic Coiler: Finished rebar is coiled or cut to length
5.2 Recommended Resin Systems
Resin Type Compatibility
Epoxy (EP) Excellent
Vinyl Ester (VE) Excellent
