ZDHFC Fiber Completes Continuous Basalt Fiber Project

The continuous basalt fiber project in Zhejiang Debang Hi-Tech
Fiber Co., Ltd. (ZDHFC) recently started partial production in
Hengdian, Zhejiang province. The design capacity is 48 furnaces.
After the full completion of the project, 2 000 tons of
continuous basalt fiber and composite materials can be produced
a year.
   The performance of continuous basalt fiber is close to carbon
fiber but the price is much lower. What is more important, it
is extracted from natural minerals and has no additives. It is
therefore a green and healthy glass fiber with no pollution and
also has the excellent properties of high-temperature
resistance, super low temperature, thermal stability, chemical
stability, water resistance and low temperature damping. China
has already included basalt fiber in the medium and long-term
development program for the next 20 years as one of the four major
high-tech fibers encouraged for development.
   ZDHFC is a company established by large private owned
enterprise Hengdian Group to produce continuous basalt fiber and
composite materials.
