The Basalt Fiber Fabrics product lineup.

Basfibertex is a range of NCF (Non Crimped Fabrics) and Woven Fabrics manufactured from Advanced Basalt Fiber – the only High Tensile High Modulus Basalt Fiber currently produced in the global market.

Basfibertex Composites high-perfomance multiaxial reinforcements are engineered fabrics consisting of one or more layers of unidirectional fibers. These layers are held in place by a non-structural stitching thread, which is generally a polyester yarn.

Natural Sustainable High-Performance Reinforcement, Fire Resistance, High Stiffness, High Strength, and High Impact Properties.

Basfibertex fabrics are ideally suited for a wide range of reinforcements and are compliant to any type of thermosetting matrices like polyester, Vinylester and epoxy or thermoplastic resins like PA6, PA11 or PPA (polyphtalamide), …etc.

With specially developed sizings, the infusion of our Basfibertex Fabrics is tailored to customer requirements and exhibits outstanding wettability and great mechanical strength – hand layup, injection or infusion moulding and RTM composite processes.

The applications include the Marine, Defense, Rail and Wind Energy, Transportation, Recreational and Sporting Goods, Architecture, Building and Construction Industries which create great value added products for customers.

The versatility of Basfibertex multiaxial fabrics extends to their varying weight (g/m2) and the ability to reinforce their properties through structure and material composition modifications. We understand that each company has its unique needs and requirements. Therefore, if you require customised solutions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Our team can assist you in determining the most suitable type of Engineered Basalt Fabric for your project.

It is known that basalt fibres manifest extraordinary properties in many directions. These include, in particular:

  • high strength and high modulus of elasticity
  • high heat resistance and usability in a wide temperature range excellent insulation properties thermal and acoustic, excellent chemical resistance against most alkalis, organic acids, inorganic acids, organic solvents, most of chemicals and other aggressive substances high electrical resistance and an ability to shield electromagnetic radiation
  • resistance to contamination by radioactive radiation fire resistance and low content of exhaust gases.
  • incombustible producing low amounts of smoke and toxic fumes which make them a flawless solution in aircraft, bus and train seating. 
  • Basfibertex industrial textiles offer various solutions to solve and address teh high strength and stability acoustical insulation needs. High mechanical properties of Basfibertex yarns as Tensile Strength and Young modulus and resistance to high temperature, chemical, and alkali-resistance offers a unique properties for high-end applications such as protective fireproof barriers, filtration, belting, welding protection, corrosive liquid protection and/or chemical resistant blankets, insulation blankets, heat protective covers, high temperature resistant barriers in various industrial sectors as aerospace and automotive, defence, building and construction, windmills, marine, …etc.

In a number of properties, such as strength, modulus of elasticity, chemical and temperature resistance, basalt fibres significantly outperform glass fibres.

Basalt plain twill satin Fabrics are yarns or rovings manufactured to varying thickness, weight, weave pattern and weaving technique according to end-use requirements. Engineered for high temperature applications and compliant to different organic (epoxy, polyester, vinyl ester, PA, PP, PEEK, BMI, …etc.) and/or ceramic matrix materials being considered especially as alternative fiber reinforcement to carbon or alumina.

  • Good adhesion characteristics for coatings
  • Non-combustible and fire-resistant
  • Excellent tensile strength
  • Maintains integrity at temperatures up to 1800F/982C
  • Resistant to electromagnetic radiation
