Industrial basalt tiles
Industrial cast stone tiles stand out for their high technical characteristics, remaining intact even with regular contact with aggressive chemicals and abrasive substances. Basalt tiles possess a set of unique properties, making them widely used in creating industrial floors, as well as in protective lining (facing) of various pipes and tanks operated under extreme conditions.
The manufacturing process of cast stone tiles involves melting rock at a temperature of 1300 degrees Celsius, followed by pouring molten basalt into metal molds of a specific design. The process is completed by solidification, after which the tile undergoes a firing procedure. Tiles produced in this way have several excellent qualities:
- High specific density of the material (3 kg/cm³);
- Compressive strength (up to 3.5 tons per cm²);
- Hermeticity;
- Unique design of each product unit;
- Resistance to aggressive chemicals and abrasive wear;
- Environmental safety;
- Wear resistance;
- Frost resistance.
In addition, this building material is used for lining pipes, bunkers, tanks, and other containers for storing and transporting substances that actively react with the environment or contain a large number of abrasives. Cast stone tiles of this kind can be used in the following conditions:
- At metallurgical and engineering plants where large equipment, items, as well as tracked and other heavy machinery are moved;
- At chemical industry enterprises for the arrangement of production facilities and storage of aggressive liquids;
- In mines and mining enterprises for protecting pipelines and floors;
- At automotive testing grounds for testing the latest models of cars and tires, where the tiles serve as road surfaces with varying degrees of roughness, ideally suited for evaluating equipment;
- At warehouse facilities where heavy loads or chemically active substances are stored;
- In places with heavy foot traffic (railway stations, airports, shopping and entertainment centers, residential complexes).
