High temperature sealing gaskets:
Internal combustion engine exhaust pipe, turbocharger sealing. High temperature sealing of industrial pipe flanges (instead of asbestos gaskets).
Thermal barrier:
Battery pack thermal management (blocking heat transfer between cells). Aerospace equipment fire protection insulation.
Sound absorbing and noise reducing materials:
Automotive engine compartment, industrial equipment acoustic mats.
Reinforced composite top layer:
Used as a surface layer for composite panels to enhance impact and abrasion resistance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What are the primary benefits of using Basalt Fiber Surfacing Tissue Mat?
A: It provides a smooth surface finish, enhances aesthetics, and acts as a protective layer against abrasion, impact, and environmental factors.
Q2: Which resin systems are compatible with this tissue mat?
A: This mat is highly versatile and compatible with epoxy, polyester, and vinyl ester resin systems.
Q3: How does the mat perform in high-temperature environments?
A: It offers excellent heat resistance, making it suitable for high-temperature sealing gaskets and thermal management in automotive and industrial applications.
Q4: Can it be used for chemical resistance?
A: Yes, basalt fibers naturally exhibit good chemical resistance, providing protection against corrosive substances and chemical exposure.
Q5: What is the moisture and organic matter content of the mat?
A: The moisture content is very low (≤0.1%), and the organic matter content typically ranges from 6% to 26% depending on the areal weight.
Q6: What typical applications involve this basalt fiber mat?
A: Common applications include internal combustion engine exhaust sealing, battery pack thermal barriers, sound-absorbing mats for automotive engine compartments, and top layers for reinforced composite panels.
