It is manufactured by melting the quarried basalt rock to about 1400 degree Celsius. The fiber is then extruded through small nozzles to produce continuous filaments of basalt fiber.
Get PriceLarge eruptions of basalt lava may create deep flows of molten rock. As the rock slowly cools it shrinks slightly. The stresses cause jointing in several different planes, and columns of rock form with a generally hexagonal shape, like pencils. The pictures of basalt below displays the six-sided cross section of a column.
