Request PricelistNorway is a global pioneer in the deployment of sustainable engineering. With extensive coastlines, numerous fjords, offshore oil & gas rigs, and the rapid expansion of floating offshore wind energy (such as the Hywind projects), the need for materials capable of surviving extremely corrosive, cold, saline marine splash zones is critical. Traditional carbon fiber remains prohibitively expensive for large-scale maritime hulls, while E-glass fiber degrades rapidly in salt spray. Continuous Basalt Fiber (CBF) represents a breakthrough structural middle-ground.
Global demand for basalt fiber is expanding at a CAGR of 11.4%. The primary drives behind this acceleration are carbon-neutral initiatives and strict material cycle declarations (such as the EU's Circular Economy Action Plan). Since basalt fiber is manufactured 100% from natural volcanic rock without chemical additives during the melting phase, it features a carbon footprint up to 80% lower than carbon fiber and 40% lower than typical fiberglass production, positioning it as the ultimate green alternative.
Founded in 2015 and located in the industrial epicenter of Jiujiang, Jiangxi, China Beihai is a designated high-tech national enterprise. We have pioneered continuous single-component melt extrusion technology to manufacture high-purity basalt fibers. Equipped with state-of-the-art platinum-rhodium alloy bushing ovens, we maintain strict thermal controls at 1450°C to guarantee consistent molecular dispersion, yielding high-tensile basalt rebars, roving, mats, and woven textiles tailored for elite European projects.

| Physical Property | Continuous Basalt Fiber (CBF) | E-Glass Fiber | Carbon Fiber (Standard) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tensile Strength (MPa) | 3000 - 4800 | 1500 - 2500 | 3500 - 6000 |
| Elastic Modulus (GPa) | 89 - 110 | 69 - 76 | 230 - 600 |
| Operating Temperature Range (°C) | -260 to +700 | -50 to +380 | -50 to +500 |
| Corrosion Resistance in Saltwater | Outstanding (No Degradation) | Moderate (Prone to Acid Attack) | Excellent (Electrolytic Hazard with Steel) |
| Carbon Footprint & Eco-Rating | Eco-Neutral (100% Volcanic) | Low/Medium (Chemical Melt) | High (Petrochemical Intensive) |
In Norway's northern territories, temperatures routinely drop below -30°C. Standard composites experience brittle transitions under cold temperatures, leading to localized shear delamination. However, continuous basalt fibers preserve structural ductility down to -260°C. This makes our fabrics highly stable and crack-resistant under extreme weather conditions.
Moisture absorption leads to catastrophic mechanical breakdown in standard glass fibers. Basalt fiber contains a naturally high concentration of iron and silicate compounds. This unique chemistry prevents hydrolytic attacks along the fiber surface, maintaining its physical strength over decades in subsea and splash-zone installations.
Basalt is inherently non-conductive, making it perfect for Norwegian infrastructure upgrades (such as railway tunnels, high-speed rail lines, and EV charging platforms). Unlike steel or carbon fiber, it does not conduct electromagnetic currents or rust when exposed to stray currents, minimizing maintenance overheads.
Unlocking maximum performance across Norway's core marine, arctic, civil engineering, and environmental preservation sectors.
