At the present time, just a handful of countries in the world, including the United States and China produce around 15k tons of CBF per year. Market demand by 2025 is calculated to be 200,000 tons per year. Basalt fibre is superior to glass fibre, in terms of thermal stability, heat, sound and electrical insulation, resistance to fire, corrosive chemicals, radiative quality, anti vibration and overall durability while at the same time being environmentally friendly. Continuous Basalt Fibre (CBF) - a product produced by a single step extraction from molten basaltic rock without the use of any chemicals. Basalt Rock is a single-component resource of natural origin; it is an ecologically clean raw material ideal for the production of CBF. World reserves of basaltic rock are endless and cheap, adding less than 5% to the cost of production.
