basalt direct roving

CONTINUOUS-FILAMENT FIBERS FROM 9-23 MICRONS

Durable, heat-tolerant and strong,
Sudaglass basalt roving delivers exceptional properties whether used in woven, filled or chopped configurations.

? Good tensile strength
? High E-modulus provides specific tenacity exceeding steel fibers by many times
? Very high temperature tolerance?maintains integrity at sustained temperatures up to 1800?F/982?C
? Low elongation under load
? No carcinogenic risks
? Easily manufactured in various tex values from 68 to 4600
? Will not split longitudinally
? Inert, corrosion-resistant and non-toxic
? Very high resistance to chemicals, alkaline, acid and solvents
? Immune to nuclear radiation, UV light and biologic contamination
? Good elasticity and fatigue resistance
? Low friction coefficient

Ideal for high-performance applications:
? Superior performance as an automotive muffler filler, delivering intense heat and sound absorption
? Continuous strand reinforcement for composites to improve integral strength and provide high temperature tolerance
? Specialty woven fabrics for fire protection and containment
? High-pressure/high-temperature pipeline and vessel reinforcement
? Can be chopped into various strand lengths for remanufacture into value-added products
? Immunity to radiation makes it ideal for insulation applications in nuclear power generation plants and x-ray apparatus
