Basalt Raw Materials & Research

Basalt fiber technology begins with the raw material.

Mineralogical structure, chemical composition, melting behaviour and fiber-forming characteristics determine the technological suitability of a particular basalt and influence the subsequent production process.

This section presents photographs related to basalt deposits and quarries, basalt raw materials, representative rock samples, laboratory samples, mineralogical and structural research and experimental evaluation of raw materials.

Mineral Melting & Melt Research

Mineral melting is one of the key stages in basalt fiber and mineral melt technologies.

Experimental and industrial work includes evaluation of melting behaviour, melt homogenization, thermal conditions, refractory interaction and preparation of the melt for subsequent fiber formation.

This section may include experimental melting, laboratory and industrial furnaces, molten basalt, melt discharge, melt samples, high-temperature experiments and studies of melt behaviour.
