Basalt fiber is an advanced material derived from basalt rock, a volcanic igneous rock composed predominantly of plagioclase, pyroxene, and olivine. Unlike synthetic fibers that require the combination of various materials through complex chemical processes, basalt fiber is produced through a relatively straightforward process. The raw basalt rock is crushed, washed, and then melted at approximately 1,400°C to 1,600°C. The molten rock is then extruded through small nozzles to produce continuous filaments of basalt fiber. This natural and efficient method of production positions basalt fiber as an eco-friendly and sustainable alternative to traditional construction materials.

In construction, basalt fibers are typically available in several forms including rovings, chopped strands, mats, fabrics, and meshes. These forms are used in reinforcing concrete, producing composite materials, creating structural reinforcements, and improving the tensile strength and durability of various infrastructure components. Basalt fiber's inherent qualities—such as high tensile strength, excellent resistance to chemical and environmental degradation, low thermal conductivity, and non-corrosiveness—make it highly attractive for modern civil engineering and construction applications.

Basalt fiber exhibits a range of superior properties when compared to traditional reinforcement materials like steel and glass fibers. It offers a high tensile strength, usually in the range of 2.8–4.5 GPa, and an elastic modulus of approximately 90 GPa. These figures place it in direct competition with E-glass fibers while surpassing many standard grades of steel in specific strength (strength-to-weight ratio). Furthermore, basalt fiber is non-conductive and has excellent resistance to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, moisture, high temperatures, and harsh chemical environments including acids and alkalis.

One of the most significant advantages of basalt fiber in construction is its resistance to corrosion, particularly in environments where steel reinforcement would typically degrade over time due to exposure to water, salts, or industrial chemicals. This makes basalt fiber a valuable asset for use in marine infrastructure, bridges, tunnels, and roadways exposed to de-icing salts. Its thermal stability also makes it a strong candidate for use in high-temperature environments, where polymer or metal reinforcements might fail.

In terms of safety and environmental impact, basalt fibers are non-toxic, non-combustible, and do not produce hazardous fumes when exposed to fire. These attributes enhance the material's sustainability profile, which is becoming an increasingly important factor in global construction practices focused on reducing environmental footprints.

Basalt fiber is used in a variety of construction applications. One of its primary uses is in reinforcing concrete, where it is integrated as chopped fibers or meshes to improve crack resistance, flexural strength, and overall durability. Basalt fiber-reinforced polymer (BFRP) bars and grids are also replacing steel reinforcements in certain structural elements due to their light weight, non-corrosive nature, and high performance.

In addition to concrete reinforcement, basalt fibers are used in the production of composite panels and prefabricated building components. These composites, often made by embedding basalt fibers in a polymeric matrix, are lighter and stronger than many traditional materials, enabling more efficient transportation, easier handling, and faster installation on-site.

Basalt fiber fabrics and textiles are also employed in retrofitting and strengthening existing structures. By wrapping columns, beams, and walls in basalt fiber fabrics, engineers can significantly increase load-bearing capacity and resistance to seismic activity, making it an ideal solution for earthquake-prone regions.

Moreover, basalt fiber-based geotextiles are being used for soil reinforcement, erosion control, and the stabilization of embankments and slopes. Their durability and resistance to biological degradation give them a longer service life than traditional synthetic geotextiles.
