BASFLEX 

BASFLEX is a product formed by intertwining multiple fibers made of basalt filaments. The yarns are drawn from the melt of basalt stones and possesses high elastic modulus, outstanding chemicals and thermal/heat resistance. Additionally, the basalt fibers have very low humidity absorption compared to glass fibers.

The Basflex braid has excellent heat and flame resistance. It is non flammable, have no dripping behavior, and have no or very low smoke development. Compared to braids made of fiberglass, the Basflex have higher tensile modulus and higher impact resistance. When immersed in alkaline medium, the basalt fibers have 10-fold better weight loss performances compared with fiberglass.
