BASALT FIBER VS STEEL

  BASALT FIBER VS STEEL Composite materials are nowadays successfully replacing steel in construction industry. But among reinforcing fibers, basalt fiber is  the product of choice for this application. According to tests and experience, basalt fibers are very flexible, ductile  and have a high mechanical strength. Their greatest advantage lies in  their stability over time, which makes them suitable for use in  different application. A lot of customers asked about the best choice for  concrete reinforcement,  basalt fiber  or steel.This article shows the  properties of basalt fiber versus steel fiber and explains which is  more effective for concrete reinforcement.In general, Basalt  Fiber is significantly stronger than steel fiber. Its durability is superior,  and its tensile strength is 2.5 times that of steel. Basalt Fiber contributes to reduction in concrete coverage by 25 – 30%,  and its weights 4.5 times less than s...
