1. Chopped basalt fiber
Basalt fiber is a kind of inorganic fiber material. Chopped basalt fiber is an inorganic mineral fiber with a length of less than 50mm and can be evenly dispersed in cement concrete.
2. Characteristics of chopped basalt fibers
(1) The naturalness of raw materials. Because the raw material for producing continuous basalt fiber depends on the natural volcanic extrusive rock, there are no ingredients harmful to human health except that it is inherently high in chemical stability and thermal stability.
(2) Comprehensive performance. Basalt fiber is acid resistant and alkali resistant. It is both low temperature and high temperature resistant. It is insulated and insulated by heat and electricity. Its tensile strength is higher than that of large tow carbon fiber. Its elongation at break is even better than that of small tow carbon fibers. It has high compressive strength, shear strength and adaptability to aging, and has good comprehensive properties in harsh environment.
(3) Low cost. The price of basalt fiber used in cement concrete is significantly lower than that of steel fiber and polyester fiber.
(4) Natural compatibility. Basalt fiber is a typical silicate fiber, which is easy to disperse when mixed with asphalt concrete, cement concrete and mortar. The newly mixed basalt fiber concrete has stable volume, good workability and durability, and has superior high temperature resistance, anti-seepage, crack resistance and impact resistance.
