About the company
History
–
The world's first experimental steady basalt continuous
fiber was obtained in the laboratory of the Institute of
Building Materials, in Georgia, in the 60-th of the last
century, and in 1985, In Belich (Ukraine) the first
production was lunched.
–
“Basalt Fibers ” LTD. Produces textile basalt fiber with its
own technology since 1998. In the world exist three
types of textile basalt fiber production technologies (one
of them is Georgian) and are functioning only 7
manufactures. Currently the whole capacity of the textile
basalt fiber manufacturers
thousand tones per year.

Process
Textile basalt fiber is derived from Basalt stone melting and melted mass stretching.

“Basalt Fibers ” LTD presents Textile basalt fiber for the following
applications in Construction sector.
 Basalt Mat for thermal and noise insulation, which company produces by hightechnological German equipment (www.truetzschler.eu) without any binders, is ecologically
clean product.
 Basalt Chopped Fiber
– Accelerates the timeline for the concrete strengthening
– Suppresses the formation of cracks on the concrete surface
– Allows to reduce amount of fittings in concrete
– Company with the leading research institute in Germany (www.ibu-trier.de) has

Basalt Mat advantages for Georgian
market
•
In comparison with the existing competitors, EcoMat has
the lowest heat transfer coefficient (0,031W/m0K) and
widest temperature range (–2670C ÷ +8500C) of usage. It
enables consumer to reach the highest level of insulation
and noise resistance parameters with the maximum low
volume of the product.
•
•
On Georgian market it is the most competitive product
as it meets the strict requirements of modern touristic
and public infrastructure and represents not
flammable, as well as not burnable insulation
material.(ASTM C553)
Represents totally ecologically clean product, as it is the
natural basalt stone transferred to the form of thread,
which is formed as a mat after carding on mechanic
needling board.

Important Issue!
Usually in winter partial pressure inside the living
spaces is 3 times higher than partial pressure in the
streets, that is why moisture, existing inside the
building tends to go outside. It is hard to reach
absolute impermeability while incrustation works
inside rooms and moisture manages to leave the
space through defected areas, that is why used
insulation material is systematically moistened,
hence basalt mat in difference with fiberglass is
non-roting and non-spoiling in time insulation
material. Such parameters are essential while
building residential houses, so basalt mat
becomes inevitable part of it, especially while
buildings on additional store and while creating
light design for attic.

Basalt Mat advantages in comparison with the competitor,
thermal and sound insulation materials on Georgian and
regional market
In Caucasus region for thermal and sound insulation different
kind of polypropylene and glass materials are used, therefore
it is very important to show their advantages and
disadvantages and to offer customers most suitable and
effective product for their particular design.

Styrofoam
Positive:
•Relatively cheap in comparison with
basalt mat;
•Non-roting while moisture.
Negative:
• Burnable and its smoke can suffocate a
human (Fire safety norm prohibit its usage
in living spaces!);
• Requires special system for attaching to
the surface and corresponding installation
works need to be performed in the
construction;
•To keep parameters for thermal and sound
insulation big thickness is required, not less
than 10 cm in wall design;
•Not elastic and requires selection of
special constructional forms in building
design (additional cost!).

Fiberglass
Positive:
•Relatively cheap in comparison
with basalt mat.
Negative:
• Fire safety norms norm prohibit its
usage in living spaces, as temperature
stability lasts only till 300°C;
• Health norms prohibit its usage in
living spaces, as 4%-8% of the weight
consists of phenol pitch that is used as
an astringent for the material;
• Rots and collapses in moisture
accumulation zone, requires completely
dry environment;
• Its big thickness and formless, uneven
surface requires selection of special
constructional attachment forms in
building design (additional cost!).

Rockwool
Positive:
•Fire safety norms norm permit
its usage in living spaces;
•doesn't Rot and collapse in
conditions of moisture and
stream influence.
Negative:
•Most expensive insulation
material on the market;
(calculated on 1m² insulation
space)
•Not desirable for heath, as 4%8% of the weight consists of
phenol pitch that is used as an
astringent for the material;
•Thickness of per unit of product
is not less than 50 mm and
special clips and design is
required while (additional cost).

Basalt Fiber
Positive:
•Permitted by fire safety norms;
•Ecologically clean;
•doesn't Rot and collapse in
conditions of moisture and stream
influence;
•Maximum thermal and sound
insulation with minimum thickness(8
÷ 16mm);
•doesn't require any special works for
inside or outside attaching process
and goes along with revetment
materials (Additional costs for its
installation should not be considered).

Negative:
•More expensive in
comparison with
Styrofoam and Fiberglass.

Important issue!
Basalt mat is the only insulation material, that doesn't require any special
clipping system or additional time for installation process, so the cost for its
installation is 0 GEL/m2! On the other hand its cheaper substitutes (Styrofoam
and Fiberglass) require additionally not less than 4 GEL/m2 just for the
installation.

Based on preferential characteristics of Basalt Mat company
offers you several designs
a- Design. Special design for littoral regions
Company has created special design for residence constructions in littoral regions,
which represents the combination of thermal, sound and hydro insulation. Tests for
defining technical parameters were conducted with the support of LTD “Enthropia”,
in particular:
www.basalt-fibers.com

Advantages of offered a- design
1. Construction will be realized fast and cheap, as thermal insulation material doesn’t
require performing of additional works, as it is attached by the clips of facade plates.
Therefore installation work of basalt mat is reflected in facade plates installation cost.
2. Thermal insulation and facade elements as a whole including facade clip doesn't
exceed 8 kg/m2, so for constructional parts of building load isn’t increased.
3. Costs for systematic painting of building through time is totally eliminated, as the
materials used for the facade element doesn’t require repainting for decades or any
other kind of cosmetic or rehabilitation works.
4. As a material for thermal insulation Basalt Mat should be used, which in difference
with Fiberglass plates doesn’t collapse through time in conditions of moisture and
water influence.
5. Layer of air existing in the frame of the building enables aluminum foil, attached to
the mat, to prevent outside surface of the walls of the building from dew
accumulation point totally and therefore protect inside walls of the building from
systematic moisture, what is particularly important for the health of those living in
high humidity regions

B–Design. Thermal insulation of attic
While restoration of old districts of Georgian cities, main point is to create as much
useful space as possible with the aid of light weighted roofing and walls that have
thermal insulation parameters. The best way for resolving the above problem
cheaply and effectively is to use the design offered by “Basalt Fibers ” LTD.
www.basalt-fibers.com
15
c–design. For build on space projects in modern special design
of constructional wall
Comparative advantage for the design is that created household space is the lightest
construction, that is assembled very fast and enables to complete thermal and sound
insulation. As air existing in wall groove, as best thermal insulator (Coefficient of thermal
conductivity 0,023W/mK) creates good outline to completely display positive characteristics
of other constructional elements.

–“Arcstudio” LTD - In residential complex on Vazha Pshavela
Ave., Tbilisi, for thermal and sound insulation, also for fire
protection of inside infrastructure.
– On Thermal power station in Tkibuli (GIG Ltd) for the thermal
insulation of technical lines.
– Currently ongoing project for thermal insulation of Methanol

ECOMAT is one of the best sound isolators
Usage of Mat with foil for sound insulation is exceptionally effective (Shu Yang, Wei-Dong
Yu - Air Permeability and Acoustic Absorbing Behavior of Nonwovens, China), it performs function of
hard film and on the other hand, additionally, removes dew accumulation point from
inner space of the room.
