Basalt Chopped Strand-deeprotect

Basalt chopped strand is a type of reinforcement material made from basalt rock, which is melted and extruded into fine filaments, then chopped into short lengths (typically 3-12 mm). It offers excellent mechanical properties, including:
- High tensile strength (comparable to or better than E-glass fiber).
- Thermal resistance (stable up to ~700°C).
- Chemical corrosion resistance (alkali-resistant, suitable for concrete reinforcement).
- Eco-friendly (natural raw material, no hazardous additives).

Application:

1. Composite material reinforcement
- Used in thermoplastics/thermosets (e.g., PP, PA, epoxy) to improve strength and heat resistance.
- Common in automotive parts (e.g., brake pads, dashboards) and aerospace components.

2. Building materials
- Added to concrete/mortar to reduce cracking and enhance durability.
- Used in geopolymers for fireproof panels or insulation.

3. Friction materials
- Reinforces brake linings or clutch facings due to its heat resistance.

4. Filtration and corrosion protection.
- Applied in acid-resistant filters or corrosive-environment coatings.

5. Electronics & marine
- Electronics: Insulating materials for high-temperature applications.
- Marine: Boat hulls and offshore structures due to saltwater resistance.

Advantage Analysis
- vs. Fiberglass: Higher temperature tolerance and better chemical stability.
- vs. Carbon fiber: Lower cost while maintaining good performance.

Basalt chopped strands are increasingly used in industrial and high-tech applications due to their high strength, heat resistance, and eco-friendly properties.
