The notion of creating fiber from basalt is not new; the first patent for basalt fiber manufacture was issued in 1923, and application to military hardware was researched extensively in the 1950s and 1960s. Even major producers of glass fiber explored basalt’s potential, though they abandoned this focus in the 1970s to concentrate R&D efforts on better-performing glass fiber, including S-2 glass. While interest in developing basalt fiber-reinforced composites has waxed and waned over these decades, it has persisted and grown in recent years.
2X STRONGER
2X the tensile strength compared to steel
LIGHTWEIGHT
75% lighter than steel ease of handling, labor and freight savings
NON CONDUCTIVE
Electrical isolator and thermal insulator
MORE DURABLE
Impervious to corrosion, longer service life
COST EFFICIENT
2X the tensile strength compared to steel
FASTER
It’s quick and easy to use.
ReforceTech has a wide range of reference applications within the Pre Cast and Construction industries. Please browse specific application categories.
SHOTCRETE
applying concrete projected at high velocity primarily on to a vertical or overhead surface. The impact created by the application consolidates the concrete.
PRECAST
leading to strength characterization of minibar reinforced concrete (MRC) beams, finally completed with some preliminary studies on thermal behavior of minibar
MARINE & FLOATING
without any kind of anchoring, as if it simply sits on it and floats. Floating slab, as the name tells it resembles a plate that is simply laid over water, with no kind of connection between them.
CONSTRUCTION & IN-SITU
As the load is applied to the concrete the MiniBarsTM act as crack control and distribute the load throughout the concrete.
INFRASTRUCTURE
the strongest and most durable, performing better under heavy traffic loads and lowering costs across the lifetime of the asset.
