Basalt geogrid mesh

Basalt reinforcing mesh with alkali resistant coating was developed to prevent cracks as well as for reinforcement of mortars and non load bearing concrete.

The higher tensile strength of Basalt mesh, compared to E-glass or steel, increases impact resistance and prevents from cracks appearance. This mesh can meet the expectations and strict requirements of most demanding companies from construction market.

Our high-performance, alkali-resistant basalt mesh will not rot, rust or corrode, and it provides increased strength in different cementitious applications. Thanks to its lightweight, easy install and cut in size with a scissors.

 

Advantages and benefits:

  • Specially developed coating provides good adhesion with concrete to improve tensile strength and increase impact resistance.
  • High mechanical strength and modulus.
  • High resistance to chemical aggressive environment and in particular high alkali resistance won’t allow appearance of rust or corrode.
  • Minimizes crack width and spread
  • Easy to install and use. No special equipment is required.
  • Extremely low coefficient of heat conductivity significantly reduces heat transfer from building exteriors to interiors and significantly improves energy efficiency.
  • Much higher electrical resistance compared to steel.

 

Beyond Materials Group is able to supply high quality basalt mesh and basalt geogrid mesh in full rolls and cut in size. From our head office in Gold Coast we are able to ship our products Australia wide.

Basalt rebar intro

Basalt is a common extrusive volcanic rock. An inert rock found worldwide, basalt is the generic term for solidified volcanic lava. Safe and abundant, basalt rock has long been known for its thermal properties, strength and durability.

Non–ferrous reinforcement, Basalt fibre, is a material made from extremely fine fibres of basalt.It is similar to carbon fibre and fibreglass, having better physicomechanical properties than fibreglass, but being significantly cheaper than carbon fibre. Basalt fabric is used as an insulation textile in the aerospace and automotive industries and can also be used as a composite to produce a wide variety of products.

Basalt fibre is made from a single material, crushed basalt, from a carefully chosen quarry source and unlike other materials such as glass fibre, essentially no components are added. The basalt is simply washed and then melted. The manufacture of basalt fibre requires the melting of the quarried basalt rock. The molten rock is then extruded through small nozzles to produce continuous filaments of basalt fibre. The fibres typically have a filament diameter of between 9 and 13 micron. They also have a high elastic modulus, resulting in excellent specific strength—three times that of steel.

Characteristics:

Superior Thermal Protection. Our Basalt products have a thermal range of -260 C to +750 C and melt point of 1400 C. Basalt Fibre is ideal for fire protection and insulative applications.

Basalt fibres are 100% natural and inert. They have been tested and proven to be non-carcinogenic and non-toxic.

Durable: Tough and long-lasting, fibres deliver acid, alkali, moisture and solvent resistance surpassing most mineral and synthetic fibres. They are immune to nuclear radiation, UV light, biologic and fungal contamination.

Basalt Fibres and fabrics are stronger and more stable than alternative mineral and glass fibres, with tenacity that exceeds steel fibres many times over.
