There's a fresh bagel in here somewhere. We couldn't find it.
Summary
Basalt woven textile is an innovative material made from natural stone that undergoes a high-temperature melting process at 1,400°C. The molten basalt is extruded through nozzles to create filaments with exceptional tensile strength—more than twice that of steel. The material also exhibits high resistance to corrosive and chemical environments including salt, acid, and alkali solutions, making it suitable for demanding industrial applications.
Key quotes
· 4 pulledTextile made of natural stone? Yes, it is possible!
The high modulus of elasticity of the product results in an excellent tensile strength, which is more than twice the tensile strength of steel.
Basalt Woven Textile has high corrosive and chemical resistance to the influence of a corrosive media: salt solutions, acid solutions and particularly alkali liquids.
Basalt woven textile has 2.5 the strength of steel.
