Study on the possibilities of effective use of basalt

Abstract

This article presents research on the possibilities of creating value-added unconventional materials, functional fabrics and products from local basalt and basalt roving. Basalt fiber, i.e. roving, is used to make knitwear and heat-insulating cord. The thermal insulation cord was tested in the "SNOL 15/1200" electric furnace in the laboratory of the "Mega invest industrial" LLC joint enterprise and its durability up to +980ºС was determined.
