Study of an Innovative Construction Material - “Basalt Fiber”

Abstract

Basalt fiber BCF is an inorganic fiber material. It is an all natural material and originates from volcanic rock. Basalt rock is melted at high temperature 1450° C and rapidly drawn into a continuous fiber. It then can be chopped into various lengths. Its color can vary between brown, gold, or gray. The basic characteristics of Basalt materials are high temperature resistance, high corrosion resistance, resistance to acids and alkalis, high strength and thermal stability. Basalt materials can be used as a reinforcing composite material for the construction industry, specifically as a less expensive alternative to other fiber. In addition to high specific strength, high specific modulus, BCF also has excellent temperature resistance 260~700 , anti oxidation, anti radiation, thermal and sound insulation, filtration, anti compression strength and high shear strength, high availability, and good cost performance. It is found in nature as an inorganic non metal material and is a new basic material and high tech fiber that can satisfy the demand for the development of basic infrastructures.
