History
The world's first experimental steady basalt

continuous fiber was obtained in the laboratory
of the Institute of Building Materials, in Georgia,
in the 60-th of the last century, and in 1985, In
Belich (Ukraine) the first production was lunched.

Process
Textile basalt fiber is derived from Basalt stone melting and melted mass
stretching.
Basalt Fibers LTD presents Textile basalt fiber for

the following applications in Construction sector.
Basalt Mat for thermal and noise insulation, which company produces by
high-technological German equipment (www.truetzschler.eu) without any
binders, is ecologically clean product.
Basalt Chopped Fiber

Accelerates the timeline for the concrete strengthening
Suppresses the formation of cracks on the concrete surface
Allows to reduce amount of fittings in concrete
Company with the leading research institute in Germany (
www.ibu-trier.de) has accomplished tests on the produced products in
different type of concrete reinforcement and has accordingly created
recommendations for its optimal usage.
Why is it desirable and necessary to

use the chopped fiber in concrete
reinforcement process?
Plain concrete
Traditional construction using plain concrete is of course the
cheapest, but slow process. This Type of constructions have high
compressive strength, but they lack proper bending and elasticity
parameters and cant resist to impact. They tend to plastic shrinkage,
Therefore causing surface cracks as well as some deep ones, That is
prerequisite for quick collapse of the construction, especially in severe
climate conditions.
Steel fittings reinforced concrete

To improve drawbacks of the plain concrete steel fittings were used,
but it eliminated only part of the problems, at the same time adding
some negative characteristics to construction, because of
incompatibility of particular physical and chemical parameters. For
example thermal conductivity in steel is higher (27 63 w/mK), than
in concrete (0,17 2,33 w/mK).
Properties of the plain concrete

Positive:
Cheap construction
material;
High compressive strength.
Negative:
Slow strengthening process;
Lack of bending and
elasticity parameters;
Cant endure impact.
Inclined to plastic shrinkage
while strengthening process,
that causes formation of
cracks. That is prerequisite
for the future damage of the
construction, especially in
severe climate conditions.
Properties of steel reinforced

concrete
Positive:
High compressive strength ;
Improved bending and elasticity
parameters;
Improved impact resistance in
compare to plain concrete.
Negative:
Expensive construction material;
Slow strengthening process;
Generally, Surface cracks are
formed, their deepening process is
enhanced by intensive changes of
environmental temperature, as
thermal expansion coefficient in
concrete and steel are different;
1m3 construction is becoming
heavier;
To reduce hardness parameters,
amount of intersections is raised,
therefore element is becoming more
heavy;
To reduce the negative effect of
temperature fluctuations, it is
prohibited to use fittings near the
surface of the element, therefore it
becomes more heavy.
Chopped fibers reinforced

concrete (Fiber-concrete)
Main determinant of economic efficiency of modern
construction projects is time of their accomplishment. In this
case, the traditional steel - concrete construction system is
quite slow process and does not allow to create light, spatial
elements. So the weight of steel-concrete elements and slow
and time consuming process of their creation has negative
effect on economic characteristics of the construction process.
Chopped fiber concrete reinforcement is the most effective way
to improve negative characteristics of plain concrete elements
in modern construction, that was actively accomplished in the
world, especially during the last decade. Chopper fiber
reinforced concretes have sharply improving parameters of
strength, stability, impact resistance, freeze resistance and
waterproofing.

Types of chopped fibers used in

concrete reinforcement
Fibers used in fibrous concrete are divided into the
following groups:
Metal fibers
Chemical fibers (polypropylene, polyacrylonitrile,
polyethylene and etc.)
Mineral fibers (AR glass and Basalt fiber)
Carbon fibers
Natural fibers
To represent clearly the differences between

above listed fibers and their effectiveness for use
they should be defined by their physical and
chemical parameters (comparison and
compatibility). Also defining concrete resistance
facilitating factors towards
external conditions
could improve concrete technical parameters.

In comparison with matrix, the metal fibers sharply high

and
elongation
percentage (in terms of large amplitude changes in
temperature) create internal destructive forces, which
contribute to superficial decay process of reinforced
concrete. That is why, it is recommended to place
reinforcement deep below the surface of the construction
element.
In order to get fibrous concrete characteristics - 15kg
metal fibers need to be added to 1m concrete due to the
high unit weight of metal and large diameter of
elementary fiber, which finally causes the price increase
of concrete. This obvious disadvantage of metal fiber
makes it less preferred in comparison to other
reinforcement fibers and eliminates its indicator of high
modulus of elasticity.
For having high elongation
percentage and low unit15
Specific points
Mineral fibers and carbons show the best results when obtaining
techno-economic impacts of fibrous concrete, but carbon fibers
show up the negative indicator of adhesiveness and high
thermal conductivity coefficient (due to which concrete heats-up
in depth) in comparison with concrete. Moreover, the carbon
filament has a notably high sell price. Therefore, despite having
the highest elasticity modulus and the best chemical stability in
concrete it has the most expensive price for fibrous concrete
production (constriction elements designed on the basis of
carbon fiber show the best bending strength parameters).
Having good adhesive properties in concrete, mineral fibers
reduce the effect of concrete elastic shrinkage. Usually, special
organic additives are used to reduce elastic shrinkage effect of
concrete, but this causes worsening of concrete strength
parameters by 10-20%!

Mineral fibers (AR-glass, Basalt fiber)

effect comparative analysis in concrete
reinforcement
Mineral fibers have absolutely positive influence
and good compatibility with concrete compared to
all other types of concrete reinforcement fibers.
Its almost two decades, that in the world
construction market is actively used one type of
chemically stable glass fiber in especially high
alkali concrete solutions (pH13) to which zirconium
dioxide (ZrO2) is added.
As for natural mineral fiber Basalt Fiber- it is
being used in construction for several years. Its
only in the last decade that extensive researches
and tests have been conducted on this product
with a view to its application in building sector.
21
The main factor, for chemical stability in mineral fiber

reinforced concretes, is the presence of heavy metal
oxides in its molecular structure, which prevent mineral
fiber structure and the strength determiner SiO2 from alkali
leaching (silicon dioxide) in high pH concrete solution.

Comparison of these two types of fibers show us clearly the

expected better effect of basalt fiber in concrete products, when
comparing to AR-glass. This makes the basalt chopped fiber more
desirable product to modern
construction technologies.
23
Significant effect
In addition to technical advantages, it is also important to point
out, that much more elementary basalt fibers are spread in
concrete matrix contributing to the binding process, than in case
of other type of fibers.

Someresearchinformation on advantages of
thebasaltchoppedfiber usageinconcrete
reinforcementand
itstechnicalparametersimprovement
The fact that we are proposing the basalt fiber to
customers is based on several years researches and
tests which were conducted also on our products at
one of the leading institutes in Europe. In details:
Cement grouts are used for oil well
completion which are subjected to
high pressures and temperatures as
high as 200C. Therefore much
attention is paid to their tensile strength,
shock
resistance and crack resistance. In
such
conditions usage of mineral fibers is
the best and
optimal choice and basalt fiber is one of the most
attractive
alternatives. (R. Felicetti, C Meyer and S. Shimanovich
Department of Civil
Engineering and Engineering Mechanics, Columbia University, New York)
26
Basalt fiber has some particular characteristics like: crack

resistance, freeze resistance, shock and impact resistance.
Thanks to this properties it extends the operation time of
concrete.
Basalt fiber doesnt have any side
effects while
mixing, pouring and curing. It improves
adhesiveness and prolongs stability of concrete.
Basalt fiber increases concrete resistance and
reduces its fragility, therefore it can be used
in roads and bridges construction, so that
to improve the quality of concrete.
(Fibers Unlimited LTD. - Dutch research)
Test results of Loads on square slab

show that, when using 24 mm basalt
fibers in 3,5kg/m mixes they get
effective bending strength - 0,31
N/mm. This index is slightly less than
of metal fiber reinforced concrete one (0,38 N/mm2). (IBU Trier, Germany)
