	Basalt Continuous Fiber (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Basalt is a hard, dense, dark volcanic rock composed chiefly of plagioclase, pyroxene, and olivine, and often having a glassy appearance.
		The name "basalt" is usually given to a wide variety of dark-brown to fl volcanic rocks, which form when molten lava from deep in the earth's crust rises up and solidifies.
		Basalt differs from granite in being a fine-grained extrusive rock and having a higher content of Iron and Magnesium.

	Basalt fiber - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Basalt fiber or fibre is a material made from extremely fine fibers of basalt, which is composed of the minerals plagioclase, pyroxene, and olivine.
		The manufacture of basalt fiber requires the melting of the quarried basalt rock to about 1,400°C. The molten rock is then extruded through small nozzles to produce continuous filaments of basalt fiber.
		The fibers typically have a filament diameter of between 9 and 13 µm which is far enough above the respiratory limit of 5 µm to make basalt fiber a suitable replacement for asbestos.

		Basalt fiber tissue is used as a coating for insulation panels and rolls.
		Basalt fiber tissue prevents paintwork and varnishing on facades and walls from cracking and thus increases its life span.
		In general basalt fiber tissue is used in construction of ground structures, substructures, dumps, roads, railroads, buildings, roofs, tunnels, hydraulic structure and everywhere basalt tissue carries out very important functions such as decommutation, protection, filtration and drainage.

		Basalt fibers can be used in various branches of industry fully replacing cancerous asbestos and to a considerable degree glass fibers and metals.
		Thanks to their excellent properties basalt fiber may be used for manufacturing of thermo and alkali resistant articles (tanks, pipes, GFRP, warm insulating materials) and as ecological harmless substitute for asbestos.

	Basalt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term basalt is at times applied to shallow intrusive rocks with a composition typical of basalt, but rocks of this composition with a phaneritic (coarse) groundmass should generally be referred to as dolerite (also called diabase) or gabbro.
		Basalt which erupts under open air (that is, subaerially) forms three distinct types of lava or volcanic deposits: scoria, ash or cinder; breccia and lava flows.
		Basaltic cinders are often red, coloured by oxidised iron from weathered iron-rich minerals such as pyroxene.

		b) Basalt is a hard, dense, dark volcanic rock composed chiefly of plagioclase, pyroxene, and olivine, and often having a glassy appearance.
		Comprised of single-ingredient raw material melt, basalt fibers are considered superior to other fibers in terms of thermal stability, heat and sound insulation properties, vibration resistance and durability.

		Accordingly, the specialty fibers are produced in unidirectional, plain weave and harness weave fabrics, with the bright yellow aramid plain weave and the distinctive fl 2-by-2 twill pattern of carbon fiber being the most readily recognizable of the different forms.
		Boron fiber is so stiff and strong that it has been used to patch across the fuselage of jet fighter aircraft like a second skin, to literally hold the wings on and prevent the early fatigue and failure of the aircraft.
		Basalt fiber materials are proving to be a very useful alternative in applications calling for a more robust version of glass fiber, and in other applications that have traditionally been the domain of rock fibers such as asbestos.

	USGS Photo Glossary: Basalt
		Basalt is erupted at temperatures between 1100 to 1250° C. More about volcanic and plutonic rocks.
		Basalt is the most common rock type in the Earth's crust (the outer 10 to 50 km).
		Basaltic magma is commonly produced by direct melting of the Earth's mantle, the region of the Earth below the outer crust.

	GV LSE BASALT/GPa (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Obviously basalt fibers alone are not going to cut it for any ESE, though maybe there's hope yet, as in utilizing a sufficient taper should more than make the prospect of our using basalt fibers at least worth a consideration of a composite tether of perhaps 10% or even as little as 1% CNT.
		As compared to those spendy CNT fibers that may not even become usably nor affordably into existence for decades, whereas continuous basalt fibers are not all that difficult to come by, nor of fabricating into all sorts of things.
		Fortunately, the basalt fiber GPa of 4.84 has become a rather good omen, as well as the stability at tension being 95% @200°C and of 82+% @400°C, thus the solar energy spectrum including IR, imposing as much as 1500 w/m2 is certainly indicating another plus for the basalt fiber.
