The production of basalt fiber is related to ther similar materials environmentally friendly. Due that basal fiber just consist out of one material is quit is to recycle. The market for basalt fiber is going to increase within the next few years strongly.

Basalt fibers are used in many different disziplines an industries. It is used in automotive, marine, transportation, eletronics, construction, wind engery and many other industries. As the material has a high heat and fire resistance and has a high mechanical strength it going to be used in many different application fields. Also the cheap price of the raw basalt materials and the easy production process for basalt fiber is a big advantage of it.

Realted to the basalt material market has CBF (continuous basalt fiber) the biggest share in terms of volume and value.

This high market share is related due to its properties and its production costs. Basalt fibers have similar properties to carbon fibers, but the price level is similar to that of glas fibers.

The procution of CBF is environmentally friendly as the used raw material is just natural basalt stone. The prodcution of the CBF does not need an chemical additivies or similar. The production at all does not emit any harmful substanes into the air or water. The Emissions whil production are going be filteres and are just byproducts of combusted natural gas.

Basalt fibers are easier to recycle than for example glass fiber. The melting point of basalt fiber is about 1400 °C. That featur can be used within the production or recyclen process of basalt composite materials. After heaten up to the melting temperature the only product which is left in production chamber is basalt. This un-molten piece of raw basalt can be reused unlimited.
