Basalt fiber is a material, made from fine fibers of basalt. It is a type of fiber-reinforced polymer, which is composed of minerals for instance plagioclase, pyroxene, and olivine. Basalt fiber has a high tensile strength, and high resistance to acidic, alkaline, and salt corrosion, making it a near-perfect choice in numerous construction applications such as shoreline structures, concrete, and bridges. It is used as a fireproof textile in automotive & aerospace industries and can also be used as a composite to produce products for instance camera tripods.
