BasaltA volcanic rock
What is basalt?
Basalt is a volcanic rock from which fibers are extracted after grinding in fusion at 1500°C. This material is a very good compromise in technical uses subject to very restrictive environments (aeronautics, automotive, ballistics, boating / outdoor) because it combines excellent performance in terms of elongation and resistance as well as temperature of use. It is in a way a fiber that is halfway between carbon and glass by combining the advantages of the 2.
We are alsomanufacturers!
On request or from the catalogue, we are able to associate all our textile articles with an infinite choice of terminations: plastic buckles, metal parts, hooks, tilting ends, thimbles, carabiners... Our technical team is at your disposal for all your developments. .
