Basalt Fiber Chopped Strands

Basalt short cut fiber is a type of chopped strand made by cutting basalt ore after being melted and drawn into fibers at 1500 ℃. Its main components include silicon dioxide, iron oxide, aluminum oxide, calcium oxide, titanium dioxide, sodium oxide, potassium oxide, etc. It is widely used as a reinforcement material in fields such as road engineering, aerospace materials, and sheet profiles. Its technical indicators mainly include fiber diameter, short cut length Oil content<20%, water content<0.2%, fracture strength, etc.

At present, basalt fiber short cut yarn is the most widely used in highway engineering. After adding basalt fiber short cut yarn to road materials, the road surface is durable, less prone to cracking, and has a longer service life than ordinary roads. It has become a popular new type of inorganic non-metallic material used in road engineering. In addition, there are also many applications in other material fields, such as airplanes. Enhanced applications on shells of automobiles, trains, ships, etc.

  ⊙ It has the characteristics of corrosion resistance, similar density to concrete, easy dispersion and mixing, and impact resistance. It is used for bridge deck paving and replacing steel fibers in expansion joints to solve problems such as steel fibers being prone to corrosion, polluting the environment, forming rust expansion, easily damaging tires, and affecting driving safety
  ⊙ Structural short cut basalt fibers are used to enhance the strength and toughness of concrete, achieving a transition from brittle failure to ductile failure
  ⊙The cost-effectiveness of structural short cut basalt fiber reinforced concrete is basically equivalent to that of adding steel fibers.
  ⊙The mixing process of structural short cut basalt fiber concrete is consistent with that of steel fiber concrete: the construction process is consistent with that of ordinary concrete
Application:
Mainly suitable for asphalt mixtures, when used in concrete, the adhesion and tensile strength with concrete are only about 1% of that of structural short cut basalt fibers.
Product Advantage :
*Structural short cut basalt fibers with the same volume content as steel fibers have similar costs in terms of compression resistance, crack resistance, and bending Increase toughness and other performance by more than 10%;
*Structural short cut basalt fibers also have advantages such as corrosion resistance, easy dispersion, easy mixing, and convenient construction.
1. Good alkali resistance
Structural basalt fibers are specifically designed for concrete and are processed using special materials and complex processes suitable for concrete on the basis of ordinary basalt fibers. They are more alkali resistant than ordinary basalt fibers.
2. Strong adhesion and tensile properties
The bonding strength and tensile strength between structural basalt fibers and concrete are nearly a hundred times that of ordinary basalt fibers. They can also be used in ultra-high performance concrete, effectively improving the toughness and durability of concrete, and can be comparable to steel fibers in improving the crack and impact resistance of concrete.
3. Good dispersion, easy mixing and construction
On the basis of improving the crack resistance and impact resistance of concrete, structural basalt fibers effectively solve the problems of steel fibers such as poor corrosion resistance, poor dispersibility, difficulty in mixing and construction, and tire damage.
