Basalt Yarn: The Hidden Power Fiber in Modern Engineering | DOMADIA™
Introduction: The Unseen Strength Behind Modern Innovation
In the world of advanced materials, one fiber has been silently transforming industries — Basalt Yarn. Often overshadowed by carbon and glass fibers, basalt yarn stands as a natural volcanic wonder, offering exceptional strength, heat resistance, and environmental sustainability. At DOMADIA™, we bring this hidden powerhouse to the forefront of modern engineering — redefining durability, performance, and eco-efficiency.
What is Basalt Yarn?
Basalt yarn is made by melting basalt rock — a natural volcanic material — at around 1450°C and drawing it into continuous filaments. These filaments are then twisted or woven to form basalt yarns of various thicknesses. The result? A high-performance fiber that’s naturally resilient and sustainable, without the need for chemical additives.
Chemical Composition of Basalt Yarn
Basalt yarn is primarily composed of:
- Silicon dioxide (SiO₂): 45–55%
- Aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃): 14–18%
- Iron oxide (Fe₂O₃ + FeO): 9–11%
- Calcium oxide (CaO): 7–10%
- Magnesium oxide (MgO): 4–6%
This unique chemical structure gives basalt yarn its remarkable combination of thermal stability, mechanical strength, and corrosion resistance.
Properties That Set It Apart
| Property | Value / Range |
| Tensile Strength | 2800–4800 MPa |
| Elastic Modulus | 89–93 GPa |
| Density | 2.6–2.8 g/cm³ |
| Thermal Resistance | Up to 800°C |
| Electrical Conductivity | Excellent Insulator |
| Chemical Resistance | High (acid & alkali) |
| Water Absorption | < 0.1% |
Basalt yarn’s balance of mechanical power and heat endurance makes it ideal for environments where both performance and protection matter.
Applications Across Industries
1. Aerospace & Defense
Used for heat shields, aircraft insulation, and reinforcement composites due to its non-flammable nature and lightweight performance.
2. Automotive
In car bodies, exhaust insulation, and brake pads — basalt yarn improves thermal stability and reduces vibration.
3. Civil & Structural Engineering
A sustainable alternative to glass and carbon fibers in reinforced concrete, rebar wrapping, and FRP composites — increasing lifespan and reducing corrosion.
4. Marine & Shipbuilding
Provides corrosion-proof reinforcement in ship hulls and underwater structures.
5. Electrical Insulation
An excellent non-conductive and high-temperature-resistant material for cables, transformers, and electric machinery.
6. Fire Protection & Safety Gear
Ideal for fire blankets, welding curtains, and heat-resistant gloves, thanks to its non-toxic and flame-retardant properties.
