Basalt Standard FabricsBasalt Standard Fabrics in general can be applied where E-Glass, sometimes S-Glass or Carbon Fabrics can be used, as well. As Basalt is more expensive than E-Glass, but cheaper than Carbon Fibers, typically it finds implementations, more suitable to its particular properties and fills an important gab when it comes to cost-performance ratios.You can find a comparison to E-Glass, S-Glass or other materials by clicking here: Basic Comparison To Other Fibers.Knowing how Basalt compares to other fibers allow to precisely engineer an optimal solution, which could also be in form of a hybrid (combining Basalt with other Fibers made from Glass, Carbon, Kevlar, etc.)An Example of an Engineered FRP. In Fiber Reinforced Products (FRP) the engineer chooses the fiber, based on the desired outcome. E.g. if lighter weight requirements at identical strength to currently used fibers are required or if higher strengths are necessary while staying within the weight specifications.There are other examples relevant to durability, corrosion resistances, break strength, chemical resistances, thermal applications, etc.Our Team will be more than glad to assist or consult with design applications.Standard FabricsMain application markets areGeotextilesThermal applicationsFRP (Fiber Reinforcement Products)Standard offering: Weights: 3.2 ozsyd 28 ozsydWidths: 19 54Length: 26 yd 500 yd

Multi-Axial FabricsMulti-Axial Fabrics consists of a numerous amount of layers stitched together.Each single layer may be of a different, individual construction, whereas it can be a woven fabric, a unidirectional fabric or any other version. The choice of materials may be different. E.g. it could be a combination of Glass & Basalt, or Carbon & Kevlar & Glass.In Multi-Axial Fabrics, often the manufacturer takes advantage of positioning the layers of fabric to where the main fiber direction points into a different angle to the previous or the following layer.This allows for optimal utilization of the fiber properties, in most cases the strength requirements.Following graph illustrates one example of a Muli-Axial Fabric:

Basalt Unidirectional FabricsCulimeta America offers Standard fabrics and Unidirectional fabrics made from Basalt fiber.Basalt Fabrics in general can be applied where E-Glass, sometimes S-Glass or Carbon Fabrics can be used, as well.

This then presents a more lightweight and cost attractive solution.Standard offering: Weights: 5.9 ozsyd 8.8 ozsydWidths: 23.6Length: 54.5 yd
