Automotive industry for thermal insulation materials for mufflers, panels, screens, plastics, reinforcing materials for pads and discs, for non-flammable composite materials, tire cords, chopped fiber for reinforcing plastics, interior ceiling trim, fuel tanks, PBG and PG tanks.

EDAG, a global provider of engineering solutions, presented to the world its vision of an eco-friendly, future-oriented car for everyday life and leisure at the 2009 International Auto Show in Geneva.

"...In the selection of materials for EDAG's" Light Machine - Open Source", the emphasis is also on innovative solutions. Instead of surfaces made of glass or, alternatively, macrolon, the material of the future, the car's construction is predominantly made up of innovative, industrially standardized basalt fiber (ASA.TEC fiber). This 100% recyclable and almost unlimited material is not only lighter and cheaper than aluminum or carbon, but also has almost similar strength properties to traditional materials. The new quality of basalt fiber, which in the future will be used in the creation of rotors for large wind farms, can now be introduced into systematic use in the automotive industry. Thus, this type of basalt fiber can become the main element of the structure and in the future be used as a lightweight material in large-scale production vehicles...

Innovative basalt fiber as the material-frame as the platform

To create the D-series speakers, Pioneer has developed the industry's first natural rock basalt fiber interwoven with aramid fiber. The aramid / basalt fiber material used in the surface layer is high-strength, absorbs better, which improves stability and maintains integrity over a wide temperature range.

Petrochemical and chemical industry for chemical resistance and wear resistance, acid and alkali tanks, pipelines, oil pipelines, non-flammable coatings and composite materials, high temperature filters for the recycling of catalytic converters, and clean combustible gases in refineries and chemical plants, and also to trap dust and industrial waste water.

Cryogenic technologies and equipment for thermal insulation materials in the production of liquid oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, liquefied natural gas, etc.
