Manufacturing special fabrics from local basalt threads

Abstract

This scientific article presents a comprehensive investigation into the technological production of fire-resistant textile materials based on basalt filaments, specifically engineered for advanced thermal and flame protection applications. The study systematically examines the manufacturing processes of basalt-derived fabrics utilizing optimized weaving technologies and locally sourced basalt raw materials. Furthermore, an in-depth experimental analysis of the physical-mechanical characteristics - including tensile strength, structural integrity, thermal stability, and resistance to high-temperature exposure - has been conducted. The obtained results substantiate the significant potential of basalt fiber-based textile structures as high-performance refractory materials for industrial and protective applications.
