& MATERIAL
Basalt is well known as a rock found in virtually every country round the world. Basalt Rock fibres have no toxic reaction with air or water, are noncombustible and explosion proof. Basalt base composites can replace steel and known reinforced plastics
Low cost, high performance fibres offer the potential to solve the largest problem in the cement and concrete industry, cracking and structural failure of concrete. BECAUSE OF THE HIGHER PERFORMANCE (STRENGTH, TEMPERATURE RANGE, AND DURABILITY) AND LOWER POTENTIAL COST PREDICTED FOR BASALT FIBERS, THEY HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO COST EFFECTIVELY REPLACE FIBERGLASS, STEEL FIBER, POLYPROPYLENE, POLYETHYLENE, POLYESTER, ARAMID AND CARBON FIBER PRODUCTS IN MANY APPLICATIONS.
1. They have no toxic action with air & water. 2. Very high chemical resistance. 3. Basalt is the best reinforcement for concrete due to its tensile strength 4. Noise absorption qualities 5. Basalt based composites can efficiently replace steel and all known reinforced plastics. 7. Water absorption 8. Melting temperatures & Working temperatures up to 600C.

Basalt Rock fibres have no toxic reaction with air or water, are non-combustible and explosion proof. When in contact with other chemicals they produce no chemical reactions that may damage health or the environment. Basalt base composites can replace steel and known reinforced plastics (1 kg of basalt reinforces equals 9.6 kg of steel). Basalt can replace almost all applications of asbestos and has three times its heat insulating properties. Basalt is well known as a rock found in virtually every country round the world. Basalt rock is more in India (specially in Maharashtra). The cost of basalt is 10 times lower than that of raw materials for fibreglass. Basalt is more available than any other raw material. Also the melting temperature is lower, thus energy consumption lower. Thus, the cost of basalt fibre is considerable lower than that of similar materials. More workers are not required to operate the manufacturing plant. Thus, I conclude that we can install the First project in India (Maharashtra).
