What are the primary benefits of adding basalt fiber to concrete?
Basalt fiber significantly enhances concrete's overall toughness, improves its resistance to temperature deformation, increases seepage resistance, and boosts its performance against shear, cracking, and fatigue.
What is the recommended monofilament diameter and chop length?
The recommended monofilament diameter is 17-22 μm (with a general range of 13-22 μm). The available chop lengths are 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, and 18 mm depending on your project requirements.
Can basalt fiber replace traditional reinforcement materials?
Yes. Basalt fiber is an excellent, highly economical, and high-performance alternative to traditional materials like steel fiber, polypropylene, and polyacrylonitrile.
What are the main application fields for basalt fiber?
It is widely used in civil engineering, including highways, bridges, tunnels, docks, water conservancy projects, high-rise building basement slabs, large volume concrete columns, corrosion ponds, and geotechnical reinforcement.
How should basalt fiber products be stored?
To maintain optimal quality, basalt fiber products must be stored in a dry, cool, and moisture-proof environment. They should be kept in their original packaging until they are ready for immediate use.
