Innovation in Basalt Fiber Technology. Basaltex is a Belgian company, based in Wevelgem, specializing in the production and development of basalt fibers and related textile products. Basalt fiber is an innovative material derived from volcanic rock, renowned for its excellent mechanical properties, high temperature resistance, and environmentally friendly character.
These innovative materials are used across a wide range of sectors, making optimal use of basalt’s unique properties. Applications include:
-
- Construction sector: as reinforcement in concrete, providing increased tensile strength and durability.
- Composites: where basalt textiles are used for their high strength, ecological profile, and fire resistance.
- Technical textiles: as an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic fibers; non-toxic, non-polluting, and suitable for applications where sustainability is key.
- Fire barriers: in both industrial and construction contexts, thanks to the heat- and fire-resistant properties of basalt fibers.
