To develop the latest energy-saving technologies, it is necessary to use effective and affordable thermal insulation materials. For a long time, and most importantly with great success, materials made from rock melts – basalts – have been used abroad. Basalt is the most acceptable raw material for producing environmentally friendly and most importantly inexpensive products. In Russia, there is an increasing interest in products based on basalt fiber, due to the rapid development of construction. At the moment, more than 300 deposits of basalt rocks have been discovered on the territory of Russia. And in the strategy of socio-economic development of the North Caucasus Federal district until 2025, the production of building materials from basalt is designated as a priority industry. However, there are also a number of problems that hinder the development of production capacities for processing igneous rocks into continuous basalt fiber, such as maintaining a constant temperature.
