“…In corrosive media basalt fibres retain better mechanical properties than glass fibres [53]. Indeed, the use of basalt fibres alongside carbon fibres as hybrid reinforcement for small wind turbine blades demonstrated encouraging results in terms of excellent fatigue strength, low weight, less cost and potential of recycling [36,[54][55][56]. A comparison between the different chemical constituents of basalt and E-glass fibres is provided in Table 2.…”

Basalt mineral fibre, made directly from basalt rock, has good mechanical behavior, superior thermal stability, better chemical durability, good moisture resistance and can easily be recycled when compared to E-glass fibres (borosilicate glass is called ‘E-glass’ or ‘electric al-grade glass’ because of its high electrical resistance) which are traditionally used in structural composites for industrial applications. Industrial adoption of basalt fibre reinforced composites (FRC) is still very low mainly due to inadequate data and lower production volumes leading to higher cost. These reasons constrain the composites industry from seriously considering basalt as a potential alternative to conventional (e.g., E-glass) fibre reinforced composites for different applications. This paper provides a critical review of the state-of-the-art concerning basalt FRC highlighting the increasing trend in research and publications related to basalt composites. The paper also provides information regarding physico-chemical, and mechanical properties of basalt fibres, some initial Life cycle assessment inventory data is also included, and reviews common industrial applications of basalt fibre composites.
