Cast basalt
Basalt is a natural stone known for its unique properties, including a prolonged lifespan that often surpasses the strength of metal products and their casting methods.
Products made from basalt stone, mined in mountainous areas near basalt deposits, are popular due to the methods of centrifugal casting.
These products are an ideal choice for environments where there is a risk of rapid surface wear. The stress from frictional force, which arises from contact with surfaces, is reduced in the case of basalt due to its high abrasive qualities.
According to conducted studies, this raw material possesses significantly better wear resistance characteristics compared to most metals, polymers, and fiberglass.
Basalt products are distinguished by outstanding resistance to aggressive environments. In places where acids and other aggressive substances are constantly present, many construction materials are unsuitable, whereas basalt fiber exhibits high chemical resistance. It is also noticeable that basalt fiber products are offered at a more affordable price compared to products made from modern high-tech materials, while still being cost-effective. These qualities make basalt a preferred material for a wide range of applications in various human activities.
