Application options of basalt continuous fiber in products
Lighter than feather,
stronger than steel
The bundle consisting of continuous basalt fibers is called roving
- Roving differs in density – the number of fibers (from 7 to 20 microns thick) in a bundle
- Roving is marked as "tex": weight of 1 km of roving in grams. The roving is supplied in spools, hermetically sealed in foil
Comparative physical and technical indicators of basalt fibers and its analogues
BNV is a unique product of the XXI century. In terms of strength, stiffness, chemical resistance and heat resistance it is significantly superior to carbon fiber, slightly inferior to carbon fiber

Advantages of continuous basalt fibers
Basalt fibers (BF) have a universal set of characteristics that sets it apart from other fibers, other fibers used in the composite industry. The properties of basalt fibers are significantly superior to those of E–glass and approach the properties of special fibers such as: S–glass, chemically resistant glass, quartz and carbon (carbon) fibers

Environmentally Clean and Easy
Basalt fibers (BF) are produced from basalt, an abundant material found in many locations in Saudi Arabia.
- Basalt fiber production is sustainable and eco-friendly, with no harmful emissions or environmental impact.
- Basalt fibers outperform other composite industry fibers and rival special fibers like S-glass, chemically resistant glass, quartz, and carbon fibers in their unique characteristics.
Rapid Payback
2.5 – 5 years
The range of payback periods
- Basalt fiber production offers a quick return on investment based on the manufactured product. The scalability of the manufacturing plant allows for easy expansion of production volumes and a wider range of end products.
- By scaling up production and diversifying product offerings, the basalt fiber plant can meet market demands and maximize profitability.
