Basalt consists of three main minerals: olivine, pyroxene, etc., which has a hard texture and comes in different colors. The density of basalt is 2.9 grams per cubic centimeter compared to the density of granite with an approximate density of 2. 7 grams per cubic centimeter.
1. One of the main characteristics of basalt stone is that it is completely compatible with the environment and does not leave any negative effects on the surrounding environment. And research also shows that basalt stone absorbs carbon dioxide from greenhouse gases. 2. Due to the high thermal resistance of Mako basalt stone, it is used to produce basalt fibers. Fibers are mostly used in shipbuilding and marine vessels construction industries. Basalt fibers have higher chemical stability compared to glass fiber, which is especially well shown in strong game environments.
Basalt fibers are non-toxic, non-combustible and resistant to high temperatures and have the ability to isolate 3 times more than fireproof cotton. These fibers are used for fire protection in ships and marine vessels. 3. Another feature of these fibers is that they are more economical than glass fibers, and most of the industrial owners use them to build and produce vessels. A cheaper and safer sea for its workers and employees uses these fibers.
4. Basalt stone has a high resistance to cold and heat, and in addition to having a very good weight and lightness, the result is very high adhesion.
5 Basalt stone is 100% natural and has a reasonable price.
