BASALT FIBRE FOR HIGH- TEMPERATURE APPLICATIONS PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Wherever high temperatures are to be expected, it is advisable to fall back on our portfolio of basalt fibres. Due to its extreme stretchability and flexibility, the basalt fibre can be fitted over without any problems, and even sharp curves are no obstacle. The basalt fibre is extracted from a natural rock and produced in an environmentally friendly production process with low CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. The basalt fibre provides excellent thermal insulation and is characterised by extreme high- temperature resistance and durability. Whether it‘s finely knitted, coarsely knitted, or braided fabric, we have the right end product for your application. Feel free to contact us.
