A short briefing on the material, the platform and where Basaltunum is designed to create value.
01What does Basaltunum make?+
Basaltunum is building an integrated advanced materials platform that connects natural basalt, continuous basalt fiber, technical fabrics, prepreg, composite structures and mission-critical components for defense, aerospace, UAV, infrastructure and energy markets.
02Why is basalt fiber important?+
Basalt fiber offers a balance of strength, durability, thermal stability, dielectric performance, corrosion resistance and cost. That balance makes it relevant for defense, aerospace, UAV, infrastructure, energy and industrial applications.
03Where is Basaltunum located?+
The company is based around an industrial manufacturing platform in Shelby, North Carolina, USA, with a strategy designed for secure supply and phased expansion.
04Which industries does Basaltunum serve?+
The platform is designed for defense and security, aerospace and aviation, unmanned systems, infrastructure, energy, automotive, electronics, batteries and other advanced manufacturing markets.
05How can I discuss a partnership or application?+
Use the contact page to share your application, performance requirements, company and supply-chain challenge. The Basaltunum team can route serious inquiries to the appropriate technical, manufacturing or partnership discussion.
06Is basalt fiber stronger than fiberglass?+
Basalt fiber typically offers higher tensile strength, better temperature resistance, superior chemical resistance and higher elastic modulus compared to E-glass fiberglass, while remaining cost-competitive at scale.
07What is continuous basalt fiber (CBF)?+
Continuous basalt fiber is produced by melting natural basalt rock and extruding it through platinum-rhodium bushings into continuous filaments. The result is a high-performance fiber with excellent mechanical, thermal and chemical properties.
08Is Basaltunum ITAR compliant?+
Basaltunum operates from a U.S.-based manufacturing platform designed to meet ITAR compliance requirements for defense-related materials production and secure supply chain.
