- OVERVIEW | BLUEFIBER GROUP
OVERVIEW CHANGING THE WAY WE BUILD PRODUCTS Basalt Rebar Basalt Mesh Basalt Aditive Basalt Fiber Basalt vs Steel BASALT vs STEEL Remarkable advantages using basalt fiber composite CORROSION-FREE When corrosion is nonexistent the level of construction improves in all areas. HIGHER STRENGTH The strength of fiber composite allows for less use of concrete, thus reducing construction costs. REDUCED CRACKING Less damage to the concrete and longer life to the entire structure. REDUCED CARBON Produces 1/10 of CO2 in the production process and increases transportaion volume by 4 times. REDUCED WEIGTH Being lighter translates into saving in logistics, job-site handling, and a safer product overall. LONGER LIFE SPAN The liability of structural failure and cost of maintenance and repair is significantly reduced as life span increases exponentially. WHAT IS BETTER Strength and Durability: Basalt composite is exceptionally strong and durable, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, including infrastructure, construction, and aerospace. Lightweight: Despite its strength, basalt composite is relatively lightweight compared to traditional concrete, which can facilitate easier handling and transportation during construction. Corrosion Resistance: Unlike steel, basalt composite is resistant to corrosion, making it ideal for use in environments where exposure to moisture or chemicals is a concern, such as marine structures or industrial settings. Fire Resistance: Basalt composite exhibits excellent fire resistance properties, making it a safer option for buildings and structures where fire protection is a priority. Insulating Properties: Basalt composite has good thermal insulation properties, which can contribute to energy efficiency in buildings and reduce heating and cooling costs. Eco-Friendly: Basalt composite is made from natural materials and can be produced with lower energy consumption compared to traditional concrete. Additionally, its longevity and recyclability make it a more sustainable choice. Design Flexibility: Basalt composite can be molded into various shapes and sizes, offering architects and designers greater flexibility in creating innovative and aesthetically pleasing structures. Longevity: Due to its resistance to environmental factors and wear, basalt composite structures have a longer lifespan compared to traditional concrete, reducing the need for frequent maintenance and replacement.
