• properties and Composition: Uni-directional basalt fiber fabric is composed of continuous basalt fibers arranged in a single direction. These fibers are derived from volcanic basalt rock through a process of melting and extrusion. The fabric is known for its high tensile strength, which is comparable to that of carbon fiber and superior to that of fiberglass. It also exhibits excellent resistance to alkalis, acids, and other harsh environmental conditions, making it highly durable. The material is non-combustible, has a high thermal stability, and is environmentally friendly as it is made from natural basalt rock without the need for additional additives.
  • Applications and Benefits: This type of fabric is widely used in various industries due to its exceptional mechanical properties. In the construction industry, it is employed for strengthening and reinforcing concrete, masonry, and other structures. In the automotive and aerospace sectors, it is used to manufacture lightweight yet strong components, contributing to improved fuel efficiency and performance. The fabric’s high strength-to-weight ratio, combined with its resistance to extreme temperatures and chemical exposure, makes it an ideal choice for numerous engineering applications. Additionally, it offers a cost-effective alternative to other high-performance fibers, providing both economic and performance benefits.

WHERE TO USE
This system is particularly recommended for improving bending/compressive capacity, and compressive
confinement of masonry or concrete piles and pillars.
It is also suitable for repairing concrete or masonry elements damaged by physical-mechanical actions and to
updgrade the seismic capacity of structures in high-risk areas.
Some application examples
▪ Repairs and static upgrading of unstable or weak structures where the tensile strength need to be
supplemented.
▪ Confining compressed and pre-stressed members (pillars, bridge piles, chimneys, and tanks) to improve
their load-bearing capacity or ductility.
▪ Seismic upgrading and restoration work vaulted structures without increasing their mass and without the
risk of liquids percolating toward the inner face.
▪ Strengthening load-bearing members in buildings whose structural system has been modified due to new
architectural requirements or changes in use.
