Basalt Fibre — Mineral Reinforcement for Concrete & Composites
Allzone Trading supplies basalt fibre — chopped strand and roving formats — for concrete, mortar and composite reinforcement. Produced from melted volcanic rock, basalt fibre offers good tensile performance, thermal stability and corrosion resistance. Format, sizing and recommended dosage are confirmed against supplier technical data at quotation.

Technical & procurement detail
What basalt fibre is+
Basalt fibre is drawn from melted basalt rock with no additional binders in the melt. It offers useful tensile strength, good thermal stability and resistance to corrosion, and it does not rust, which makes it attractive where steel reinforcement would be a durability liability.
Alkali environment considerations+
Performance in cement depends on the sizing and treatment applied to the fibre. Because the cement pore solution is strongly alkaline, long-term durability claims must come from the supplier's data for the specific product and sizing, and important applications should be validated by testing rather than assumed from the material class.
Format selection+
Chopped strand disperses through mortars and concrete for crack control and toughness; continuous roving and fabrics are used in composite laminates and structural reinforcement systems. The formats are not interchangeable and are quoted separately against the process.
Working practice+
Chopped basalt is added so it disperses without balling, with water demand rising as dosage increases; correction is by admixture rather than added water. In composites, sizing must match the resin system exactly as it must for glass reinforcement.
Specification options+
Working properties are configurable options within this canonical product, not separate products. Depending on the family, that can include grade, viscosity, mix ratio, pot life and demould time, hardness, colour, particle size or fibre length, and pack format. No configuration is presented as stocked or approved until it is confirmed against the supplier's technical data for the exact material offered. Supplier grade names, factory codes and manufacturer brands are not published here.
What to include in your enquiry+
Send the application and process, the format required (chopped strand or roving), the fibre length, your matrix or resin system and your monthly volume.
Frequently asked questions
Is basalt fibre suitable for concrete?+
It is used in mortars and concrete, but durability in the alkaline cement environment depends on the fibre's sizing and treatment. Take that from the supplier's data for the specific product and validate important applications by testing.
How does it compare with AR glass?+
Both are mineral fibres used in cementitious products. AR glass is the long-established GFRC standard with extensive precedent; basalt is chosen for thermal stability, corrosion resistance and specific project requirements.
Can basalt fibre be used in composites?+
Yes, in roving and fabric formats, with sizing matched to the resin system just as with glass reinforcement.
Does it rust?+
No. It is a mineral fibre, which is one reason it is considered where steel corrosion is a durability concern.
What dosage is used in mortar?+
Dosage is a mix-design decision confirmed against supplier data and validated by trial for your matrix, section and finish.
Are technical documents provided before ordering?+
Yes. The supplier technical data sheet and safety data sheet for the exact grade offered are provided with the quotation, and the working properties in those documents govern — not any general description on this page.
What quantities are quoted?+
Quantities are reviewed per enquiry, from trial quantities through to pallet and full container programmes for production users and distributors.
