Basalt fiber new material appeared in Xinjiang Corps

A basalt fiber, which is widely used in road bridges, building materials, and fire protection products, was put into mass production in the first division of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps in mid-June. The first phase of the first phase project can produce 3,000 tons of basalt fiber and products each year.

Basalt is a kind of natural volcanic molten rock, which is made of basalt fiber drawn after high temperature melting and has high toughness, high temperature resistance, salt alkali, insulation and other characteristics. This new type of fiber is soluble in asphalt, concrete and fire-retardant fibers and can play an irreplaceable role in roads and bridges, construction and firefighting.

At present, this new type of material has been demonstrated and popularized in Sichuan, Hebei, Shaanxi, Heilongjiang highways, railway bridges and culverts, and civil buildings, and has been well received by experts and construction parties.

Since the Central Xinjiang Working Conference, the South and North Xinjiang have been in an upsurge of large-scale development, large-scale development, and large-scale construction. The Xinjiang BINGTUAN Agricultural First Division and the Second Group cooperated with Sichuan Aerospace Tuoxin Basalt Co., Ltd., and the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, Harbin Institute of Technology and other research institutes. With the technical support provided, the new basalt fiber will be produced and processed locally in southern Xinjiang, which will improve the road and construction quality of Xinjiang and at the same time effectively promote the transformation of stone resources in southern Xinjiang. In addition, the development and utilization of new materials will also strongly promote the "big farm"-based BINGTUAN grassroots groups to accelerate the adjustment of industrial structure and speed up the transformation of new industrialization.
