basalt fiber (fiber, <fiber and fiber by product>, ... Materials (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Fiber created by heating crushed basalt and drawing the molten material into filament. It has been used as a strengthening agent in the construction industry, aerospace, for fire and environmental protection, and for automotive and vessel manufacture. It is recognized for a variety of properties including resistance to temperature fluctuations, acids and alkalis, and radiation. It exhibits good wave adsorption and is also used as an element in sound insulation. |
