ECOCRETE™ Basalt Fiber

Heat-stable, alkali-resistant reinforcement for asphalt and concrete longevity.

What is Basalt Fiber?

Basalt Fiber is produced from natural basalt rock and supplied as short-cut fibers for asphalt and cementitious materials. In asphalt, it forms a heat-stable micro-network that strengthens the mixture and restrains rutting, cracking, and moisture damage. In concrete, it acts as a secondary reinforcement to raise toughness, flexural/tensile capacity and water-tightness—without corrosion risk.

ECOCRETE™ Basalt Fiber is a short-cut inorganic fiber that bonds well with both asphalt and cement concrete. It significantly enhances high-temperature stability, low-temperature crack resistance, water-damage resistance, and fatigue performance—extending the service life of pavements and improving toughness and impermeability in concrete.

Key Benefits of Basalt Fiber

  1. High-Temperature Stability: Improves rutting resistance (wheel-tracking) by 30%+ under heavy traffic loads.
  2. Low-Temperature Crack Resistance: Cuts thermal-shrinkage cracking—low-temperature performance up by 40%+.
  3. Moisture Damage Resistance: Enhances resistance to stripping and water damage in wet/freeze-thaw climates.
  4. Fatigue Life: Roadway fatigue performance improves 2× or more, extending service life.
  5. Concrete Toughness & Tightness: Acts as secondary reinforcement to raise toughness, flexural/tensile strength and reduce permeability.

Applications of Basalt Fiber

  • Asphalt Pavements: dense-graded AC, stone mastic SMA, OGFC, fiber seals and overlays.
  • Airports: runways and aprons for high shear and temperature swings.
  • Bridges & Rail: bridge decks, tunnels, ballastless track systems.
  • Water & Marine: dams, channels, municipal waterworks, sea-crossing bridges, ports/quays.
  • Concrete & UHPC: slabs, precast parts and UHPC elements needing higher toughness and reduced seepage.

How to Use & Recommended Dosage

  • Asphalt (indicative): 0.2–0.4% by total mix mass (≈ 2–4 kg per ton), tuned to gradation/binder and project spec.
  • Concrete/Mortar (indicative): 1.0–3.0 kg/m³ for general crack control/toughness; verify by trial mix.
  • Mixing Method (asphalt): Dry-blend Basalt Fiber with hot aggregates to begin dispersion → add binder (asphalt) → mix until fibers separate uniformly.
  • Mixing Method (cementitious): Aggregates → Basalt Fiber → cement → water/admixtures → mix to full dispersion; adjust superplasticizer to maintain workability.

FAQs — Basalt Fiber

A: It’s inorganic, heat-stable and alkali-resistant, providing strong improvements in rutting, low-temperature cracking, moisture resistance and fatigue—especially in SMA/AC/OGFC designs.

A: With the dry-blend method and correct mixing time, fibers disperse uniformly; proper temperature control preserves compaction and surface finish.

A: Yes—as a secondary reinforcement it improves toughness, flexural/tensile strength and impermeability in concrete and UHPC.

A: Use 3–6 mm for thin overlays/fine gradations; 9–12 mm for thicker courses and higher bridging. Confirm with a trial mix.
