Xcellent - Basalt Fiber Mat

Xcellent Composites produces a range of basalt fiber mats, including chopped strand mats, needled mats, and surface mats made from basalt fibers. Basalt fiber chopped strand mat is made by cutting continuous basalt fiber filaments into 50mm lengths, which are uniformly distributed on a forming conveyor belt. After applying an adhesive, the material is dried to form a roll. Basalt fibers are known for their excellent electrical insulation, wave transmission and absorption properties, and high elastic modulus, making them ideal for manufacturing high-performance automotive and marine components. Basalt fiber needled mat is produced by carding basalt fibers and then using a needling or hydro-entanglement process. This creates a non-oriented three-dimensional microporous structure.
