The reinforcement is made of what is called basalt fibre reinforced polymer BFRP To create the fibres volcanic basalt rock is collected crushed into small pieces and melted at 1 400°C The silicates in its formation enable the melted basalt to become a liquid that can be gravity stretched through a special plate to form long filament strands
Basalt is the most common magmatic rock occupying ≈30% of the Earth surface area [1 2] Basalt is generally used as construction and facing material [3 4] Basalt is applied for stone casting
